  • Worked support for an electricity supplier. I was able to see a frightening amount of info about the customers. Even past ones who had moved elsewhere.

    We also kept notes about each call, email, web or app chat. So if you were an asshole in the past, everyone will know going forward.

    Also fuck landlords and landladies etc. More often than not, they were shitty to deal with.

    Also we would often use Google Maps and Streetview to see what your house looked like. We also had pictures of the inside because the installation techs took pictures to confirm that works were completed as specified.

    Alll of this was available to us for any reason, at any time with no oversight. And none of it was encrypted. There was also government websites in use up to 2020 that required internet explorer to use and had passwords as trivial as ‘Password1’.

    I left that job because the pay was lousy and the stress was pretty full on. I respected a lot of people that worked there. Both higher ups and people who came after me. But fuck was there a lot of potential for bad actors or like stalkers etc to mess with your info.

    I would reccomend to everyone. Please use password managers. Especially decent open source ones like Bitwarden. Take note of every piece of info that you give a company. From your phone number, address, email etc to even when you contacted them. Also try to not have your home look like an abandoned hovel on Streetview lol. Easier said than done I know. But it may affect your dealings with support people that you need help from. And lastly, please dont use Password1 as a login. Ever. Like please.

    I’m going to assume you are not a troll lol.

    Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

    In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

    The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

    Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

    So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

    Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know
