Looks like the bad guys are using the email addresses harvested from the #CondéNast / #WIRED #breach. I just received this #phishing email on an #Addyio email address I've never used for anything else. I'll be deactivating the email address, of course.
I like #Addyio, but there's one important feature it's missing: I really wish they would implement an integration with #HaveIBeenPwned.

just got a phishing email to the unique email address I used for #WIRED – checked with #HIBP & yup, they were popped in December (or before)

it really would have been nice to get an email from WIRED or #CondeNast to let me know, hey?

so now I have to trudge through the absolute shitfuckery that is the Conde Nast / WIRED account management system to roll my password… 😩😡🤬

Stopping visiting #CondéNast sites has not been easy. #Slashdot and #ArsTechnica have been two of my most visited sites forever!

But after learning of their treatment of their union workers, I can't in good conscience give them my attention.

#CondéNast also laid off 6 unionized Teen Vogue employees, including its politics editor. Most were #BIPOC women or #trans. After staffers questioned the head of HR about it, the company fired 4 of them.

An exec said 'The company is trying to avoid the attention of trump & the right.'

Allegra Kirkland, TV’s former politics director, wrote that #AnnaWintour (global chief content & artistic director) didn’t want to hear the word “politics” at TV’s annual strategy meeting.

Apparently Ars Technica released an article with AI slop that made people upset so i want to remind people that Ars Technica, along with GQ, Vanity Fair and Wired, are owned by Condé Nast- which recently dissolved their team doing incredible political coverage in Teen Vogue.

I'm not trying to read their print anymore because i think this should be expected from ownership that hates good reporting

If Ars was employing fact checkers and verifying quotes — as used to be a journalistic standard — this incident wouldn’t have happened.

There should be accountability for the journalist but this is at least as much the fault of Condé Nast’s current business model of “journalism.”
