I love (narrator: he does not, in fact, love) that #Twilio #SendGrid is sending me emails telling me my credit card on file is about to expire, when I closed my SendGrid account years ago and they obviously should have deleted my credit card from their systems when I closed the account.

@paul_ipv6 @briankrebs verisign owned a big chunk of ss7 into the aughts. they divested most of their business units and their #SS7 assets were sold off. i think ss7 might be #twilio and #carlyleGroup's problem to solve, which scares me a little cuz twilio is right in the eye of the hurricane of agentic ai fraud swarms that is forming 😬

it's been parted put to carriers ATT/Verizon/Lumen maintain their own ss7 infra. it's still roaming hubs out there, isn't it?

Oh that's wonderful.
#Twilio #SendGrid "Free" users presented this with lovely news.

Welp, time to migrate to somewhere else free. What's popular these days? Was thinking SMTP2go unless there's other/better suggestions.(?)
Tagging #MastoAdmin too because I know quite a few guides out there used to suggest them and likely others will encounter this same issue (if they haven't already been notified).

Morgen wird sich #Twilio melden und bestätigen, dass sie endlich meinen Account und dazugehörige Daten gelöscht haben.

Das werden dann die zweiten 30 Tage gewesen sein: nach den ersten 30 Tagen hatten sie es ja nicht hinbekommen.

Was wird in Echt geschehen?

Old friend of mine just got home after being away for almost a year to find Authy Desktop got EOL'd and they can no longer access their backup password. Any recovery tips? Twilio support is autoclosing the tickets...

UPDATE: Thanks everyone! Backup recovered!

Twilio says #hackers identified cell phone numbers of two-factor app #Authy users

Unrelated to the #Twilio breach in 2022.

Looks like threat actors abused an API endpoint, sending unauthenticated requests and getting phone numbers of 33 million users.

Users should be on the lookout for spear-phishing attacks _and_ are encouraged to consider switching to an #opensource MFA/2FA app.
