dsr12··on Substack's UI and 1Password temporarily cost me $2k
This is the way it happens in India. We have to enter an OTP to authenticate the transaction. The OTP comes as a SMS and it tells the amount.Some merchants tie up with bank and we can enter the OTP on the merchant's site or choose to go to the bank's site to enter OTP. In any case the OTP page is a new page and the amount is displayed.

dsr12··on Twitter internal panel linked to account hijackings
With the info we have it looks like hackers changed the email id of the accounts and then used forgot password to reset the password. What’s concerning is that they were able to do it for accounts with 2FA enabled. I think disabling 2FA should be extremely privileged actions and should not accessible to most employees.

dsr12··on Show no mercy: The tragedy in Xinjiang
I have always wondered how could the world allow the genocide of the Jews during the Holocaust. Now I understand. It's all about financial gains. No one will speak out against such atrocities if it's against their financial interest. In today's world, no one will speak against China due to their selfish interests.
