I’m sure you’ve hacked into my laptop front camera ages ago. I just waved you hi.

Hey, the only accounts I’ve hacked into had passwords which were just the owner’s first name.

The hackers can’t hack me if I don’t know my passwords

#94

Or had passwords saved on my computer, or in a text file on a computer left open

#95

Not knowing your password and having to write it down or save it in a school computer is in fact the #1 cause of me hacking you

#96

Bold of you to assume I write it down

Can you ask Lumi to fix it? They’re smart with software and stuff.

The bug is basically tricking the site into thinking a thread has the #presence-enabled tag when it doesn’t - it isn’t super easy to exploit but if the user who came to us knows about it, it’s pretty safe to assume some other people do as well, but haven’t said anything

If we disable presence completely (like it is right now), I will remove the tag, which means the exploit will be gone along with thread-specific user presence
