I find the fact that the closest mountain point on earth to the moon, the highest mountain and the tallest mountain are 3 different mountains to be a tiny bit disturbing

After taking care of that small problem of his, Gregory finally left. Thomas kept him on sight to the very end, to ensure the coast was clear.

Once inside the cave, Thomas spoke softly "He's gone now. I don't know where he came from, but I suspect this place isn't safe anymore."

He was met with silence

"Naia?" he muttered.

"You StoPPed me"

"Listen, I-"

"After aLL those beasts HaVe DoNe to me, to My PeOpLe... and you denied me ThaT little shred VenGeanCe... "

Naia paused for a moment

"For that, I am GraTefuL. TruLy. I can't afford to lose MySeLf now, to ThroW this oPPorTuniTy AwaY. Their dirty BlooD Won'T get Me to AtaRga. Yet... Why are They HeRe? Why do They continue to Haunt me?"

"I don't know, but I will find out. I promise." "Thank you. But YoU must Go Now."

"What about you?"

"You said it aLreaDy. I ShaLL leave this CavE tonight."

"Oh. Where will I find you then?"

"Your eyes, they Can See what I Do now. When the TiMe comes, you will FinD me." ---

Después de atender tan pequeño asunto, Gregory finalmente se marchó. Thomas mantuvo su vista sobre este para asegurarse de que estaban solos. Apenas entrado en la cueva, Thomas habló con suavidad "Ya se fu. No se de donde vino, pero sospecho que este lugar ya no es seguro." No hubo respuesta. "¿Naia?" balbuceó. "Me DetuVisTe." "Escucha, yo..." "Despues de ToDo lo que esas BesTias me han hecho a mi, a mi gente... y tu me ArreBaTas tal Bocanada de VenGanZa." Naia hizo una pequeña pausa. "Es aLgO que te AgRadeZco. En VerDad. No Me puedo PerMitiR ser ControLaDa por el Odio, no AhoRa. Su SangRe tan ViL no me acercará con AtarGa. Pero... ¿Por qué EsTán aquí? ¿Por Qué me SigueN aTormeNtanDo?" "No lo se, pero lo averiguaré mañana también. Lo prometo" "GraCias. Ahora DeBes iRte" "¿Qué hay de tí?" "Creo que Ya lo HaS dicho. Debo DeJar la CueVa esta NochE." "Oh ¿Y cómo te encuentro de vuelta?" "Tus OjOs ahora VeN lo que los MíOs. Cuando LLeGue el MoMenTo, sabrás a DonDe ir."

Someone accessed my Gmail 2 days ago, compromising my linked accounts like Twitter and YouTube. Here's how it happened, why I fell for it, and what you can learn to avoid making the same mistake:

The scam I fell victim to was a cookie hijack. The hacker used malicious software to steal my browser cookies (stuff like autofill, auto sign in, etc), allowing them to sign in to my Gmail and other accounts, completely bypassing my 2FA and other security protocols.

A few days ago, I received a DM from @Rachael_Borrows, who claimed to be a manager at @Duolingo. The account seemed legitimate. It was verified, created in 2019, and had over 1k followers, consistent with other managers I’d seen at the time n I even did a Google search of this person and didnt find anything suspicious.

She claimed that @Duolingo wanted me to create a promo video, which got me excited and managed to get my guard down. After discussing I was asked to sign a contract and at app(.)fastsigndocu(.)com. If you see this link, ITS A SCAM! Do NOT download ANY files from this site.

Unfortunately, I downloaded a file from the website, and it downloaded without triggering any firewall or antivirus warnings. Thinking it was just a PDF, I opened it. The moment I did, my console and Google Chrome flashed. That’s when I knew I was in trouble. I immediately did an antivirus scan and these were some of the programs it found that were added to my PC without me knowing:

The thing about cookie hijacking is that it completely bypasses 2FA which should have been my strongest line of defense. I was immediately signed out of all my accounts and within a minute, they changed everything: passwords, 2FA, phone, recovery emails, backup codes, etc.

I tried all methods but hit dead ends trying to recover them. Thankfully, my Discord wasn’t connected, so I alerted everyone I knew there. I also had an alternate account, @JLCmapping, managed by a friend, which I used to immediately inform @/TeamYouTube about the situation

Meanwhile, the hackers turned my YouTube channel into a crypto channel and used my Twitter account to spam hundreds of messages, trying to use my image and reputation to scam more victims

Thankfully, YouTube responded quickly and terminated the channel. Within 48 hours, they locked the hacker out of my Gmail and restored my access. They also helped me recover my channel, which has been renamed to JoetasticOfficial since Joetastic_ was no longer available.

Since then, I’ve taken several steps to secure my accounts and prevent this from happening again. This has been a wake-up call to me, and now I am more cautious around people online. I hope sharing it helps others avoid falling victim to similar attacks. (End)

(side note) Around this time, people also started to impersonate me on TikTok and YouTube. With my accounts terminated, anyone searching for "Joetastic" would only find the imposter's profiles. I’m unsure whether they are connected or if it’s just an unfortunate coincidence, but it made the situation even more stressful.
