  • Karp dart! Tumblr vanishes from the App Store!

    Karp dart! Tumblr vanishes from the App Store!

    The socials are broke !

    Tears are flowing!

    David Karp’s Yahoo’s Tumblr’s app has vanished from the App Store.. And users took notice..

    On Tuesday, Tumblr wrote on its own Twitter account: “Some people have had issues with the iOS app logging them out. We’re working on it and will update when we have more information.”

    Source the Business Insider confirmed with Tumblr that the disappearance of the app is linked to the update, meaning Tumblr’s Android app is unaffected..
    But what else could it be? Perhaps a hack that took millions of users’ passwords? Passwords that are now being sold on the dark web?

    Could it be a secret security update?

    And if you think the fine folks of Yahoo! or boy genius Karp would tell us, consider recent history: the big back we know of today took place years ago in ’13. 

    Waiting for Tumblr. Will the app return?

    And will users, with the recent spate of affairs, move on?

    MySpace and Tumblr hit by ‘mega breach’ as millions of passwords end up for sale on the dark web

    MySpace and Tumblr hit by ‘mega breach’ as millions of passwords end up for sale on the dark web:

    The BBC reports it this way:

    Hundreds of millions of hacked account details from social networks MySpace and Tumblr have been advertised for sale online.

    In both cases, the logins appear to have been stolen several years ago but only recently came to light.

    The incident comes the same month it emerged that a four-year-old database containing more than 167 million LinkedIn IDs had been traded online.

    One expert said it was “intriguing” all had emerged in such a short period.

    Only days ago it was revealed how massive the data breach was–perhaps there were hints that the password would be showing up on the Dark Web, forcing Tumblr into the uncomfortable position of teasing us with the high numbers..

    The socials are abuzz.
    The millennials got robbed.
    Passwords abound.
    An IP static fuzz..
