Exactly this, just look at how Xiaomi designed their UI for allowing third party downloads on their phones, just google "xiaomi dangerous permission screen" Unlike Microsoft, Xiaomi decided to add a red warning triangle, a wall of text that very clearly tells you that you would be at risk allowing this, explained in a very clear tone that even a grandma or kid could understand and finally, there is a 10 second cooldown before you can even proceed, after pressing a separate checkbox.

Sorry for you and all the others. Grinding for years and losing everything is never funny. Personnally I simply stopped playing minecraft because I refuse to link it to a microsoft account, especially because I mainly play solo and I see no reason at all to do it. But even if I understand that few people want to go to that extreme, I cannot understand why people still accept to give so much access to any games/apps they download. If you download a game or an app (mobile or PC) that ask you to give a ton of permission that are not necessary, it's *always* to sell your informations and/or to do shady things with them. I hope that someday people will massively say NO and switch to an other game (or an other server) each time they need to give away all their data for no reason, but I know it's not for tomorrow. The worst is on mobile, when some people give all the permissions (camera, memory, account,...) to games they do not know...

[@KatOnline]

This reminded me of this crazy situation that happened on skittlemc where players were getting doxed because of a leak or something not sure of the whole story because I was gone during that time. Microsoft shut them down for almost a year for not following certain guidelines. They made a lot of changes in the server to make more acceptable. It also lost alot of the playerbase it once had. I think I accidentally spoke to the doxer who helped me find a job exploit to earn emoney on the server. He later blocked me on discord and he hid his past names on namemc and went off into the unknown somewhere. He was perm banned but they unwhitelisted him then whitelisted him back.

[@quantdev]

the IP leaking is probably because of Minecraft literally printing your ip in the server console when you join, which is really stupid

@@quantdev Yeah it is really stupid. I questioned whether I should use a VPN, but I'm worried Microsoft would terminate my account.

I don't want them to take my VPN as some else using my account. Idk if a VPN now would matter anyway because they prob have my real ip stored somewhere. I don't care that much if the server admins know my location, I just worry about it getting leaked to everybody.

That is not how oauth tokens work. Having your oauth token generated from oauth-flow don't give access to your login, and usually they are pretty safe (if you don't provide wrong scopes) (note that there is no scope for account login/password) Probably they are using a page that "looks like a Microsoft login page", but not a real one (check for typos in login page domain) The easiest way to check if login approval link is legit is by logging in the original site of the provider, so when you try to login somewhere else, it wont ask for your password, just for acceptance, since you are already logged in

I've seen a few videos about something similiar, it's quite scary, but there is one way around this from happening, use common sense. As harsh as it may be, most victims don't see the blatant red flags. Seen a similiar system used, instead of having a server like this, instead a discord "verification", which suprisingly a decent amount have been tricked by it. I wouldn't recommand allowing any launcher to get permission to the account, even the ones that seems legit.

Almost had my account stolen once by this method, I wanted to join a discord server but you needed to verify. Luckily I found it a bit suspicious so didn't lose my account.

I dont think a single good thing came out of the microsoft migration requirement

[@jemps6633]

frrr

[@DavidJCobb]

it is goddamned appalling that microsoft even _lets_ any app request permissions that broad. there is absolutely no use case that is more worth catering to than the catastrophic risks are worth avoiding.

who would EVER join a fake 18+/nsfw server in a kids game 💀

[@everluck8433]

I was wondering the same thing lol. Same with who would click a link of a server like that to verify yourself.😂

In bedrock I've joined servers where, after joining and playing in them, I suddenly found myself having to relog into my microsoft account, often more than once a day. One time it was so bad I almost lost the ability to log in (something messed with the log in box). All of them were cross-play servers, and so far I still haven't found an explanation for it.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

Huh. Weird. I haven't seen that with my personal server with Geyser installed, so either they borked their configs or something shady is happening. Geyser itself is fine, (in terms of security) whatever server you're connecting to may not be.

What mods were used at 1:07? That clip looks stupid pretty and I wanna emulate it

[@maxrburgess]

Presumably just some shaders and a realistic sky texture pack… or maybe there are some shaders with Aurora

[@mighty_gladiator8717]

I got ratted in a similar way and an even crazier way - I joined a discord server and allowed a bot and 30 seconds later my Microsoft account was gone and they had infinite access I only knew abt it cuz they had logged into hypixel while I was on so I knew somone had access and saved it but still is crazy to me that just a click of an allow button to a discord server that I didn't even think abt could control my account

[@natec1]

Ah yes as if the "U.S. Department of Heath and Gaming Services" wasn't suspicious enough...

[@zhenya17]

It's like troll-griefing on 2b2t, but that's whole troll-hacking. All these names make no sense than mocking on hacked ones...

It’s happening. “Hello this is Microsoft tech support” has officially invaded Minecraft
