🛡️ Common Hack Methods
- Phishing — Fake login pages or emails trick users into revealing credentials.
- Credential Reuse — Using the same password across sites; one leak exposes all.
- SIM Swapping — Attacker convinces carrier to transfer the victim's phone number.
- Session Hijacking — Stealing cookies or tokens to impersonate the user.
- API Abuse — Exploiting third-party app permissions to post or read data.
🤖 What Is AI Slop?
Low-quality, often nonsensical content generated by large language models or image generators. Attackers use it to flood timelines, promote scams, or distract from the breach. The @bchesky thread was described as "AI slop" — generic, automated posts that signal a compromised account rather than legitimate use.
🔐 Prevention Checklist
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) via authenticator app, not SMS.
- Use a password manager with unique, strong passwords per site.
- Beware of unexpected direct messages or login prompts.
- Review connected apps and revoke unused permissions.
- Monitor account activity logs regularly.
- Add a passkey or hardware security key (FIDO2).
