Kind of weird posting this here. Hacker News provides little ability to manage an account, much less setup 2FA.

- mkr-hn 4y agoWhat's weird about posting news of a breach of a major site on a news aggregator?
- bmitc 4y agoJust that Hacker News doesn't provide the protections being discussed given the also discussed assumption that sites will be breached at some point.
- notacoward 4y agoNo 2FA, no muting/blocking or following, non-transparent moderation using long-discredited techniques, security through obscurity. For a site devoted to discussing the latest tech, the site itself is curiously stuck in the 90s and the grognards like it that way.

- Shaggy2000 4y agoAt least it has kept the nice 90s atmosphere too. Generally HN users are high value targets - how little spam or trolling there is to be found here by outsiders is incredible considering the lack of safeguards you mentioned.
