Daily Tech News 28 November 2022

Top Story

  • Private data for 5.4 million Twitter users has been leaked online. (Bleeping Computer)

    Twitter had a bug - fixed back in January - that let you look up a phone number or email address and get the corresponding account, if one existed. Patient hackers crawled their way through millions of numbers and addresses - probably stolen from somewhere else - to match them up, and then offered it all up for sale for $30k.

    Now it's apparently available for free.



Tech News

  • The CBC tried to get Libs of TikTok banned from Shopify (it's a Canadian company).

    The CEO told them, very politely - he's Canadian - to shove it.



    And then blocked them.


  • When they said the compiler could make monkeys fly out of your butt, they meant it. (PKH)

    Integer overflow in C is undefined behaviour. That means that if you put a check in your code to catch that a value has overflowed and fix the problem, the compiler is entirely within the C standard if it removes your check and then crashes when the value overflows.

    Use a real language.
