Hi!

I work for a small company and keeping phones working is one of my responsibilities. I have seen accounts being hacked and I always see that the owner of the account received an SMS or call and they are tricked into sharing that code and that the account can no longer be accessed without verifying the account again.

I have now seen an account being hijacked in a way I haven't seen. This person didn't receive an SMS or call and instead of not being able to access the account any more it seemed to being shared with another device, I mean, sending several messages to the number would result in all messages being delivered (double check mark) but only some of them would show up in this telephone. Incoming conversations that would appear to be the result of answering someone's message would appear out of the blue.

Now I can not access this account anymore getting an error that states that I am using an unofficial WhatsApp version which I am not in more than one phone so I assume the account got banned and trying to get support from meta seems to be impossible.

Has anybody seen something like this?

Thanks!

Hace ya un par de semanas encontré esta comunidad y le di a suscribir y al día de hoy sigo con la suscripción pendiente, a alguien más le pasa?

El 1 de julio dejé de lurkear en Reddit para empezar a lurkear por acá. Soy el único o hay alguien más?

Hi everybody.

I'm starting to use Lemmy and really enjoying it! I'm using liftoff as a client which allowed me to search for communities as an anon lemmy.world user and logged in with my account in sdf.org. I have searched for communities, specifically pfsense, and when I do it from lemmy.world I can find a community !pfsense@lemmy.world which I cannot subscribe to since I searched it from am anonymous account. When I search for the same using my account I don't get a match no matter what I type in the search box and if I search from the Lemmy.sdf.org webpage I get the same results of post but no community to subscribe to. Is this a lemmy.world limitation that doesn't allow searches from other instances? Is an SDF thing that doesn't allow searching in the Lemmy.world instance? How could I get to subscribe to that community?

Thanks in advance!
