#HiveApp #HiveSocial is back online.

In case I haven't made my intentions clear on this here Mastodon, I'm giving #birbapp the Windows 10 treatment--less frequent updates and moving my witty banter over here.
I have a knack for finding neat things on the Internet so I started hashtagging a couple of tweets with #GemsOfTheInternet. Its origins are from an old Screen Savers/Attack of The Show segment hosted by Sarah Lane.
...and yes, I'm also on #HiveApp as fixitrichy. Whenever that app goes back online, do follow me there!
Why would I want to edit my own posts on Mastodon, if I can edit someone else's post on Hive?
Dieser Artikel ist auch auf deutsch erschienen. Update: The vulnerabilities are currently no longer exploitable because Hive deactivated their servers. More details Following the Twitter takeover, a number of services promising to be an alternative gained traction. One of those is “Hive Social”, which reached more than a million users in the last weeks. Of course, we were interested and took a look at Hive from a security standpoint. We found a number of critical vulnerabilities, which we confidentially reported to the company. After multiple attempts to contact the company we finally reached them by phone and they acknowledged the report. After multiple days and multiple reminders by us, they claimed to fix them within the next two days. However after those two days, multiple vulnerabilities we reported were not fixed and still existed at the time of writing. ⚠️ We strongly advise against using Hive in any form in the current state.
