I’m doubling down on this.

Last minute reminder that #Skiff, once a recommended encrypted #email and #cloud storage provider, is shutting down on 1 AUG.

If you have not set up your forwarders, copied your data or otherwise, now is the time to do it. Keep in mind you have to migrate/redirect domain aliases manually.

"We care about the #security of your data. We have many layers in place to ensure the security of your #data."

The "security layers" in place:

Former #Skiff users: We are already more than halfway through June (happy #juneteenth). The deadline for migrating your Skiff data is quickly approaching - 9 AUG 2024.

After 9 AUG, you will not have access to your Skiff data. If you haven't exported what you need yet, you should get on it now.

Yeah, so #GitHub looks to be on high alert right now - probably due to the #xz fiasco.

I pushed a couple commits on the browsers.avoidthehack.com repo today, using the same browser, sign in method (#passkey), and device. Still kicked me out and forced a password reset in the middle of opening a pull request! 👀

REMINDER: #Skiff users, don’t forget to migrate your email/files/calendars. It has already been over a month since Skiff announced they are sunsetting their services (after being acquired by Notion).

Services will go dark on 1 AUG 2024 (previously, there was no date.)

While Skiff has mentioned forwarding services will continue until 1 FEB 2025, there’s no guarantee after the services actually shut down.

It’s easier to migrate now when you still have a decent amount of runway left, versus postponing until closer to the shutdown date.

Okay, last screenshot of the upcoming changes to the private browser comparison tool/table.

This is the main page, with the table, but layout could change. Still working on it.
