Andres S<p>lmao. So I specifically went to a station that's claimed to have <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/OMNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMNY</span></a> machines. This is what I saw. As of right now, it appears that you can't pay for the subway with cash.</p><p>Gee, it's sooo weird that fare evasion is rampant, isn't it? 🙄<br>Fucking clowns..</p>
Andres S<p>Fun fact: <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/NIST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NIST</span></a> just put out new policy recommendations for password selection that explicitly says not to require special characters:</p><p><a href="https://cybersecuritynews.com/nist-rules-password-security/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybersecuritynews.com/nist-rul</span><span class="invisible">es-password-security/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/OMNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMNY</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/MTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MTA</span></a></p><p>[edit: I did not use that password, or any variant of it, to be clear.]</p>
Andres S<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://anti-social.online/@AndyHat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>AndyHat</span></a></span> Oh, good point; that makes the math even easier. 132/30 = $4.40 per day. $34.80/7 = $4.97 per day. That's quite a difference; OMNY costs over $17 (13%) more per month! That's an extra $200 per year.</p><p><a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/MTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MTA</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/MetroCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MetroCard</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/OMNY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMNY</span></a></p>

Dani B. :dc_badge: :metro:<p>What a nothingburger of a scare-story this is. First off, getting someone’s credit card number is not some easy task, you won’t just be able to casually track someone. Second, if you register your credit card on an OMNY account it doesn’t let you look up the ride history on the card without logging in to the account so it’s pretty easy to protect yourself <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/mta" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mta</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/omny" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>omny</span></a> <a href="https://www.404media.co/i-tracked-nyc-subway-rider-home-omny-mta/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/i-tracked-nyc-subw</span><span class="invisible">ay-rider-home-omny-mta/</span></a></p>
