Good job all around guys.

- jerf 3y agoBut the password reset prompt was, and I quote, "As part of our commitment to you, Comcast routinely reviews and monitors account security. Please update your password to help protect you and your account." No word about a compromise or anything, just corporate bland. Also I got a kick out of their screen "obfuscating" my email to j***rf@jerf.org. Fantastic job there. (Anyone not quite sure what I'm getting at are invited to consider the domain name and my Hacker News nym and come to the obvious conclusion about the clandestine character hiding behind those three secret stars.) Now truly I am safe from those thousands of spams a year I get from spammers shoulder-surfing my email address. I really ought to do something about them. Their harsh whispers as they furtively read my email address into their phones for their accomplices to copy every time it's on the screen make it difficult to concentrate on work sometimes.
- gnicholas 3y agoYep, I remember being forced to change my password a week or two ago. It told me I had to periodically change it, which was weird because I've been with Comcast for many years and didn't remember ever being prompted before now.
