Oof. You can confirm it pretty much everywhere. Qualifying just ended for the Austrian Grand Prix, and many people will/would be paying attention to their phones for news relating to that.
Someone at FOM/Liberty Media (holder of the commercial rights for Formula 1, thus the responsible parties for the app)[1] is not having a pleasant Saturday evening in Austria.
A head or two should roll up the IT chain, but who knows ... might be a credential leak. An event was held at this same track last weekend, an oddity of the COVID-affected race schedule for the sport. Perhaps they re-used some credentials from last week, that were leaked/identified in the layover between race weekends.

- vladoh 5y agoYes, it will be really interesting to read a post-mortem of this. I also got a notification just saying "foo" 5 minutes before that and thought that was somebody testing in production.
- syska 5y agoGot the same message. Also thought it was a developer testing :-), but a few minutes later a message about security issues was pushed... Love it ...
