Or they could balance usability with security and do some sort of throttling at least, there’s no reason to DoS the user with notifications

- chrisjj 1y agoThere was no DoS here.
- mpeg 1y agoI know, I wasn't talking literally, but in spirit that's what MFA bombing is – they flood your phone with notifications until you approve one, either accidentally or our of the mental fatigue of having a ton of notifications come in.
- chrisjj 1y agoThat's different in spirit. No denial at all. In fact this action needs to avoid denying service in order to succeed.
- lesuorac 1y agoIt's denying you from using your phone if a notification constantly pops up.
- chrisjj 1y agoBut it doesn't. The screenshot shows avg. only one each 5 min. That is not denying use of phone.
- mpeg 1y agoA notification even every few minutes is extremely stressful, and would cause most people to either put their phone in airplane mode (therefore, denying normal use) or accepting the login But I don't really know why we're arguing over semantics, you understood what I meant.
- more_corn 1y agoUser can’t use their phone for fear of accidentally touching accept as it scrolls by in notifications.
