Probably a boring answer but I know my grandmother’s credit card information. I live with and help take care of her, so she doesn’t mind sharing it with me. Not like I’m planning to do anything nefarious, but I guess technically it could ruin her financially.
Lawyers, accountants, and software engineers accumulate these things like you wouldn’t believe. We can’t tell you about current secrets, only stale ones.
I once knew that the top level password used at a corporation valued at 6 billion dollars was ‘password123’. They had no backups, no VPN, and that password was used at all the high-value access points. It’s since been fixed, but it was that for years.

I like that this implies you regularly checked
Regularly had to use it to do work I was contracted to do.
Company went public one day, they restructured massively to become more efficient. I imagine that kind of stuff stopped then, but don’t really know.
“What the CEO wants, the CEO gets” - head of IT doing nothing for 300k/yr
I’m surprised the password wasn’t 1-2-3-4-5, like on their luggage.
What kind of idiot uses that on their luggage?
Damn, I’ve got to go change the combination on my luggage!
That I’ve had to turn down some really cool overseas job opportunities. I couldn’t tell my kids that I even got the job offers because their mother (my ex wife) refuses to consider the move and how we’d need to share the kids time with them overseas.
If I told the kids (now late teens) that their dream of living overseas was stymied so far by their mother’s recalcitrance they might disown her, at least for a while.
It really sucks because not only don’t I get to take the jobs, but I also have to hide my excitement at even getting the offer from my own family so that I can maintain my kids’ relationship with their mother.
A hidden hero.
There’s hopefully some context you’re leaving out for the sake of privacy or something, but… Why would your ex consider a move to Europe for your work? I wouldn’t even expect my wife to be 100% on board with uprooting her entire life to move halfway across the world.
I dont think they’re saying they expect her to. They appear to just be describing what’s happening.
As to why, probably custody arrangements and anti-kidnapping laws and treaties.
It’s the custody agreement part that I’m wrestling with, though I’m sure if I just ran off with the kids I’d hit kidnapping and Interpol issues too. That’d be exciting, though unlikely to be a productive outcome all around.
Ah, there’s a bit of miscommunication. My ex wouldn’t move with us in this situation.
Though, in this case, my wife is 100% on board. She and I have wanted to make this kind of move for a while, so I’ve got full support on that side of things. I wouldnt have even begun any applications without her total but in.
I see. But the custody part is kind of part of the game when having children, as and she’s fully entitled with not being interested in having her children move abroad. Your previous comment kind of painted her as being inconsiderate and stifling her children’s dreams. I’m curious as to why you even began applications without her buy in as well. She’s not your wife anymore, but she’s still the mother of the children.
Nice try, FBI.
Not today, CIA.
Go away, NSA.
Adios ASIO
Can’t catch me, CBP.
See ya wouldn’t want to KG B ya

There’s a teacher at my kid’s school that I fucked multiple times a few years before I got married. She was married at the time, though I didn’t know it.
I have pictures, and videos. Not just ones with me, she kept such things with other lovers as well. She showed them to me by sending them to me. I have permission to have kept them, though I had forgotten about them until my kid started high school and I ran into her.
Now, her husband is fine with it, they’re open. He was kinda surprised when I quit having sex with her when I found out she was married (I just don’t like complications, even with mostly casual sex and minimum complications).
But if it got out at the school, or to the school board? It would be a huge problem. Our town isn’t totally backwards, but it isn’t exactly a hotbed of open minds either.
There’s no way in hell I’d ever say anything to anyone where it could be found out, and I sure as hell wouldn’t break trust and show anyone the files. But I’ve been debating erasing those files just to be sure. They’re on a drive that isn’t connected to anything, which is why I haven’t already; I’d have to dig the thing out and hook it up.
Even if her husband was OK with it, she still should have told you she was married. The fact that she didn’t would be enough to make me end it. I mean, if they have an open marriage, why avoid mentioning it?
That was my opinion as well.
She said that she didn’t think it would be a regular thing, and by the time she realized we were good enough together sexually to keep at it, she just forgot to mention it for a while.
Which, I could see that being a realistic occurrence. We didn’t exactly talk much when we would meet up.
Probably simplest to just take some power tools to the HDD.
Just make sure you’ve got a backup first
A backup … of the data you want to destroy?
Especially for data you’re going to destroy.
School boards can be wildly conservative when practicing CYA.
I was dumb enough to have been fucking my neighbor for a year. If I told her school what she gets up to, she’d be gone.
For example, her and the other neighbors were partying all night. Guess who didn’t go to work today. This is a common occurrence.
What does CYA mean in this context?
Cover Your Ass
I hope that drive is encrypted
Yes, actually!

i know someone whose husband…
hummmmmmmm
I see s pattern here too.
Adultery
I have to ask if you don’t mind telling: How did you find out and is your dad the only one who doesn’t know?

So I guess technically she is your half sister?

Man, for me it would be funny to do the opposite question.
“What secret do you know that could fix someone else’s life?”
I would tell half my family that they are a bunch of conservative hypocrites and that they waste so much f*king money showing others they have money. (Expensive cars, clothing and stuff).
Maybe if they stopped wasting money and being so critical of others, they would have actual friends and lasting relationships.
Sorry, i needed to vent.
FWIW I see you. :( Good luck with them.
If someone’s else’s problems are leading to you needing to vent, there’s more going on than you just being concerned about them.

If the other company would end the contract without hesitation if they knew what was going on, that means people are getting hurt.
I know someone whose husband thinks her daughter is his but she isn’t. (She isn’t my daughter either lol.)
You should tell him. That’s fucked up.
Jokes on you, people don’t tell me shit, I only know secrets that could ruin my own life
Also fun fact if you forget your secrets that would also probably ruin your life as well.
Wait what
An IT company I used to work for stored the domain admin credentials for hundreds of client’s WSAD/AzureAD tenants on a pastbin document. When I explained how outrageous that was they deleted the file and changed all the passwords.
To the same password.
Which I still know.
And it still works.
EIGHT YEARS LATER.
I’m a financial services professional with access to so much info that could be used for identity theft and other nefarious purposes. I’ve been doing this forever and still feel weird asking people for their checking account info.
Ex was flamboyantly gay.
The amount of straight men in relationships who will approach gay men for sex is much higher than you think.
Multiple coworkers were in his dms and he probably got propositioned weekly from people who would generally be negative towards gay people.
All it takes is a screenshot and a dm to a spouse.
The shame makes it better.
I mentioned before “spelunking” is something that is common amongst people I know, and some friends once caused a collapse because something overheated, damaging a huge source of pride.
But nobody on Lemmy will connect the dots, right? Right?
After terrorizing me and abusing my kids for over a year, two days before his wedding to his current wife, my ex asked me if I was sure I didn’t want to get back together.
