Solution is also on the works like use /.well-known/, so this is more like funny, rather than a big problem.

Key to trick was to have bucket named "xrpc" and store a file there: https://s3.amazonaws.com/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHa...

There is also another funny thing in the image, the user posting about is sending one from "retr0-id.translate.goog", which is odd. Somehow he has got https://retr0-id.translate.goog/xrpc/com.atproto.identity.re... to redirect to his page, and gotten that handle as well.

Eh, it’s worse than just funny; it’s concerning, because they should have known about and easily avoided this kind of vulnerability, it’s standard stuff you have to think about. So what else have they missed?

This is a private beta. Nobody is suggesting that any of this be used for anything serious just yet. Development happens out in the open, you can go find out what else they've missed by doing the work, or by waiting until others you trust have done so.

I myself have had an account for like a month now, but only started really using it a week ago, because that calculus changed for me, personally.

Like, it's not even possible to truly delete posts at the moment. This all needs to be treated as a playground until things mature.

This isn't even the first "scandal" related to this feature already!!!! There is another hole in what currently exists that allowed someone to temporarily impersonate a Japanese magazine a few weeks back.

Okay, yes, but this indicates that they didn't read the ActivityPub before developing their own new shiny protocol.

I don't personally believe that one mistake indicates ignorance of an entire topic.
