Oh look, another social engineering scam passing itself off as a meme.

I hate to be that guy, but this is exactly how people crack into your accounts. These scams are aimed at getting information that can be used to crack security questions for account recovery.

Please do yourself a favor. Next time you see these images please do not interact with them.

And have a consistent, unchanging favorite food that you use for security questions.

Today my favorite food is cheesecake. Tomorrow it might be bagels. It’s definitely nothing I’ve ever used for a security question.

Oh this 100% is plausible, and even likely.

Many security questions systems use favorite food as a security question to reset passwords.

Most people use the same username for everything, often including their email address.

Take the person’s reddit or lemmy username, add Gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, etc. and with just a couple more answers pulled from social media posts you can build a fairly strong profile from seemingly very little and otherwise innocuous information.

Maybe just don’t make your passwords anything other than random strings of text

It’s not about the password itself. Many password reset systems use security questions. A common security question is what your favorite food is.

They don’t need to know your current password when they know the security answer to make a new password on their own.

Pizzashire.

Eeeeyyhh oooh eeeyyy look at this faguzi, drinkin his tea /pinky gripped/ like its gonna get away from you or somethin’.

Now come, come, over here and tell me what you think of this blood pudding and beans pizza.

What? Yeah, seriously. Its very important you tell me, I’ve been working on this recipe for months now.

Ahh, ahh, yeah, whatchu think, how is it?

(Then an Anglican hit squad bursts through the door, surprise this is somehow a movie about a Catholic Italian Mafia family in hiding that made one too many somewhat stereotypical enemies.)

EDIT: To the single person who has downvoted this: Dont worry, its ok, Im of Italian heritage and a good number of us think these stereotypes are hilarious.

I am extremely tempted to make a dingo ate my baby joke, but in fairness many of the Australians Ive known actually do find that offensive, so I wont.

Anglicans are a… sort.of a branch of English Christianity founded when an an English King wanted to divorce wife, but the Pope would not authorize this.

His solution was to basically tell the Pope and all of Catholicism to get rekt, and he basically founded his own religion by splitting Christianity away from Catholicism, naming this Anglicism or the Anglican Church, and this new branch of Christianity he basically created allowed him to divorce his wife.

Then there were like hundreds of years of wars and basically what we would now todag call domestic terrorism between various versions of Christianity in and around England.
