Apparently the OpenMonero trading platform has been compromised

I've never used it, and it looks like a clone of the old LocalMonero so it has all the baggage that did back in the day. But this breach seems particularly bad:
- bad 2FA implementation meant all accounts could be compromised
- full account takeover was possible
- wallets drained
- trader chat fully accessible, in some cases involving banking info or user addresses if part of trade conversations
This isn't confirmed, since OP could be talking about their ass. But if anybody's using this place, you might want to pull out your funds and stay away from it for a while.
Apparently if you run GrapheneOS your a pedophile cop hater.
US government agents (border patrol at an airport) were targeting this guy over "Cop City protests" and during the interrogation they threatened to seize the phone if he didn't enter his pass code. He entered a code to wipe it (a feature of GrapheneOS). They charged him for destroying property in effort to prevent seizure.
The pedophilia? It's part of standard procedure (or a tactic to pressure people into confessing stuff even if unrelated to the questioning) according to boarder patrol agents to find evidence of prohibited items. Keep in mind this was all they questioned him about besides cop city protest related questions and identifying other people.
This isn't the first time boarder patrol agents have done this with activists. In ~ 2017 the FBI attempted to target or more like intimidate Ian Freeman using false inferences of child pornography at an airport.
In 2016 an agent made a false swearing to obtain a search warrant under the claim that child pornography would be found. Almost a decade later the FBI was forced to return the equipment with no prosecution, arrest, or child porn ever found. It gets more disturbing in that the search warrant itself as I understand it was sealed hindering the public from getting to the bottom of what justified this persecution. It was sealed under the guise of "national security".
They likely also targeted him months prior to a raid by posting fliers around Keene on an almost daily basis suggesting he was a pedophile and a danger to the children.
The FBI also put him on a list that boarder patrol would then use to question him for many hours. This despite knowing all along that there was never any child porn in the first place.
Seeing what’s happening now with folks who are using @Codeberg, for me it’s another confirmation that my decision to self-host with @forgejo was the right one. My server — my rules. What’s interesting is that I did it because I was tired of @github shenanigans, and then I realised that if something happens, it’s my own fault — not a problem that became mine because the cockroaches in someone’s head went crazy.
