There’s no article related to this, but I had to read the following boost twice to hear how stupid this sounds. I’m not blaming the person who boosted this, nor am I blaming the person who posted it. Maybe it is humor, and if it is humor, I didn’t find it funny.
Here is the boost.
Celeste, AKA DJ Celrock!: Boosting Missing The Point (MissingThePt): To combat bots, Elon requires all Twitter users to change their password to their credit card number+expiration date+three digit security code+zip code.
If this is true, Twitter, now known as X, will now have exactly what they need to sign everyone up for their services without their knowledge. If nothing else, if Twitter doesn’t have that access, Criminals could in theory get in to accounts with this knowledge of the fact he is “requiring us” to “change our passwords” in such a way that criminals can just overtake our accounts with nothing more than what we use to purchase things online.
I’ve just got to post this and laugh at this one. Have fun with this musing for today!
