#2I've seen this screenshot doing the rounds but the Irish Dept. of Foreign Affairs has confirmed they've seen no evidence of a breach. Not sure how common it is but perhaps just a bluff to get some Bitcoin?

7GB fits neatly on a thumb drive. Could just be a lost device.

#4Wow.
It almost seems mandatory to use different purchasing emails to limit fall out, and a credit card layer in between like Apple/Google pay or plastiq.

#5This website keeps making the claim that it's a ransomware attack, but neither the original tweet nor Epic's response seem to back that up. Looks like a run of the mill data exfiltration to me.
Also this website has the most insane cookie consent flow I've seen yet. Shameful.

My card generates a new CVV every so often so this is painless.
iCloud makes it stupid simple to generate email addresses for individual services.
I do want to migrate away from Apple but for now this “just works”

fastmail has masked email and I use that pretty regularly which can do the same thing. It also apparently integrates well with existing password managers like 1password and bitwarden. I haven't used that feature myself, but maybe it would work well enough for you.

#10Uh oh, do they have my payment info from when I bought Castle of the Winds?
