Zendesk were hacked

Most people had no idea who or what Zendesk are, but they should. Zendesk provides customer service portals to companies such as Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter. Zendesk revealed in their blog that they’ve been hacked.

Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter have been sending notices to their affected users regarding the security breach.

From Tumblr support:

Important information regarding your security and privacy

For the last 2.5 years, we’ve used a popular service called Zendesk to store, organize, and answer emails to Tumblr Support. We’ve learned that a security breach at Zendesk has affected Tumblr and two other companies. We are sending this notification to all email addresses that we believe may have been affected by this breach.

This has potentially exposed records of subject lines and, in some cases, email addresses of messages sent to Tumblr Support. While much of this information is innocuous, please take some time today to consider the following:

  • The subject lines of your emails to Tumblr Support may have included the address of your blog which could potentially allow your blog to be unwillingly associated with your email address.
  • Any other information included in the subject lines of emails you’ve sent to Tumblr Support may be exposed. We recommend you review any correspondence you’ve addressed to support@tumblr.com, abuse@tumblr.com, dmca@tumblr.com, legal@tumblr.com, enquiries@tumblr.com, or lawenforcement@tumblr.com.
  • Tumblr will never ask you for your password by email. Emails are easy to fake, and you should be suspicious of unexpected emails you receive.

Your safety is our highest priority. We’re working with law enforcement and Zendesk to better understand this attack. Please monitor your email and Tumblr accounts for suspicious behavior, and notify us immediately if you have any concerns.

Slayer responds to Dave Lombardo

Slayer has responded to Dave Lombardo’s post regarding his outage from Australian Tour 2013.

Slayer confirms that Jon Dette (Testament) will drum for the band on its Australian tour that starts this Saturday, February 23 in Brisbane.

As regards Dave Lombardo’s Facebook post, Slayer does not agree with Mr. Lombardo’s substance or the timeline of the events, except to acknowledge that Mr. Lombardo came to the band less than a week before their scheduled departure for Australia to present an entirely new set of terms for his engagement that were contrary to those that had been previously agreed upon.

Umm, by saying Slayer, it is Kerry King.

Slayer is grateful to its Australian fans for their understanding of this unfortunate last-minute change, and very much looks forward to seeing them at these shows.

Translation: “Come see two original members of Slayer plus Gary holt of Exodus and former drummer of Slayer playing Slayer songs.

Kerry King can’t afford to lose Tom Araya. Should Araya leave Slayer, then it would be KKP; Kerry King Project.

SLAYER?!

Chromebook Pixel

UPDATE:
Chromebook Pixel Order Page

Google introduces Chromebook Pixel.

The WiFi version ($1,299 U.S. and £1,049 U.K.) will start shipping next week and the LTE version ($1,449) will ship in the U.S. in April.

Yikes!

This Chromebook has the highest pixel density (239 pixels per inch) of any laptop screen on the market today. Packed with 4.3 million pixels, the display offers sharp text, vivid colors and extra-wide viewing angles. With a screen this rich and engaging, you want to reach out and touch it—so we added touch for a more immersive experience.

It’s noce to have the touchscreen, but I still can’t get over the price.

If you’re interested in a hands-on experience, you can visit select Best Buy (U.S.) and Currys PC World (U.K.) store locations.

I’ll check it out. Once again, $1,299 for a Chromebook?
