Reports say files shared via Fiverr messaging were publicly accessible and indexed by Google, including tax forms, invoices and licences. Fiverr says this was not a cyber incident, but that does not erase the privacy risk.

What does trust mean if sensitive work files can become searchable like this?

Ciao Mondo
Ecco il GIG #fiverr per ora rivolto per lo più a palestre e PT visto che orbito in quel mondo ma non escludo altre possibilità

You know, the number of graphic designers on Fiverr claiming to be professional UK-based designers with years of experience doesn’t tally with their template-flipped, AI-generated, stock “hello dear” profiles, overly positive and repetitive reviews, and example work that looks like a first-year graphic design student asked Gemini to do it for them. What does one have to do these days to hire competent professionals at a reasonable rate?

Sad.

Ciao Mondo.
Mi sono iscritto a #fiverr con l'idea di qualche soldino in tasca.
Scrivo 'ino' perché non mi illudo di guadagnare chissà quale cifra ma in qualche modo mi devo reinventare e questa sembrerebbe una buona palestra.
Se non fosse per il trascurabile dettaglio che il 100% dei messaggi che ho ricevuto fin'ora sono tentativi di #phishing...
