Did Evernote remove all references to 2fa from forums after they got hacked?

It's unclear. Some of the search results don't work, but this one does: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/20932-two-factor-authen...

Jabbles 13 years ago | |

The top search result (for me) is http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/24995-security-two-fact...

which appears to have been merged with a thread to create

http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/35674-two-step-authenti...

If you check Google's cache you'll see that this post is the opening post of the missing page:

Ah, interesting. Maybe a case where a 301 could have removed all ambiguity?

aidos 13 years ago | |

It's weird though, no? The majority have definitely been removed.

jgrahamc 13 years ago | | |

Yes, it's definitely odd. A search for "two factor site:evernote.com" (http://www.google.com/search?q=two+factor+site:evernote.com) shows that most do seem to be unavailable.

The first one that seemed removed was actually moved to a thread talking about 2fa. It seems it's more a matter of consolidating multiple threads on the same topic into a single thread. Which makes sense.

If anything, it's a failure to use a 301 moved permanently header.

Wow the people are really adamant about not implementing Two-Factor-Authentication in Evernote.

At a former company (which has since gone out of business) I met some people who loved Evernote.

One was an administrator who cheerfully kept confidential details about the security of our corporate network in it without once reading the Evernote TOS or considering the consequences if those TOS changed.

Even after I explained that those TOS clearly violated several parts of his employment agreements, he continued to use it. He didn't think there was anything wrong since our CFO also kept a lot of sensitive information in it...

Hmm.. As a site owner I try not to jump to conspiracy conclusions, as I've certainly been on the receiving end of enough of them due to random coincidences and such. That said, this does indeed seem odd. Did you try posting a question in their forums about it?

Me also but have regularly checked their 2fa threads because it's a feature I'm interested in so was surprised to see them gone so soon after the hack. As you say, could be unrelated.

Haven't posted a question no.

Did they tell how they get hacked?

Would probably would have been SQL injection, given what was leaked.

jasonlotito 13 years ago |

No. If anything, they pulled all the different references into a single thread.
