Looks like our credit card used for our own US orders has charged us a wrong exchange rate for an oder payed on the first of November.
Their price-list says they would use the mastercard exchange rate and where to look it uo. However that gives a different rate for that date then the one they actually charged.
Pretty dump hacking attempt on our shop server
We noticed a fairly stupid (failed) hacking attemp in our server by placing an order with code-injection.
Analysis
It’s a simple and fairly bad attempt to get the shop to download and execure some PHP-malware.
The malware is very generic and probably just off-the-shelf.
The attempt was very rudimentary and made in a way that would instantly come to attention.
So this was in no way targeted and is probably attempted with thousands of shops in an automated way.
Response
We informed the abuse department of the domain registrar used to download the malware from.
We also added the existing captcha also to the account-creation process.
Obviously we did check the log files, security scanner report and that indeed all patches against known issues (security relevant or not) hava already been applied.
We also enabled an „invisible“ Google ReCaptcha V3 in addition to the existing server-side captcha for account-creation and deleted a large number of similar accounts created by harmless bots in the past.
UK Royal Mail strike ended
The strike of Royal Mail will not happen at least in the next two weeks.
Limitations with shipping to UK customers are thus lifted.
Reordered from FlurbMe and a minor price increase
Looks like we’re running out of FlurbMe toys (particularly Humpcas).
Just placed and order to fix that.
Sadly prices have increased by a few percent and we are obliged to follow suit.
Size category descriptions
Looks like we never got around to translate the decriptions of the size categories.
(So you all know what „tiny“, „mini“, „small“, „regular“, „large“ and „extra large“ mean for us.
We also updated them fron plain HTML text to the new design editor and made them bold, so they stand out more.
Black Friday
You can find reduced prices all over the YiffyToys shop!
All overseas manufacturers as well as GLC and FurryStyle.
Some prices have also been permanently lowered.
For some we can just delay to sadly raise them a little longer.
- Elypse Art
- Exotic Erotics
- FoxyRabbit
- FurryStyle
- GLC
- Horny Ram
- Twin Tails
- Zetacreations
Exchange rates
We usually don’t do this but the stabilizing Exchange rates gave us a bit of room to breath here.
Granted, it’s not much.
New Horny Ram Toy – the Grozzoroth S and L
The Grozzoroth by Horny Ram got some new friends.
We added a Large version of 25cm instead of 20cm and
a Small version of 16cm.
The large version is also soft instead of medium firmness.
Here are some size comparisons:
Experimenting with Mastodon (updated)
We are experimenting with integrating the ActivityPub protocoll (e.g. Mastodon) into the YiffyToys blog.
The integration is even tighter then what we did with Twitter.
You should be able to follow @YiffyToys@rect.al in the Fediverse.
The list of people who are following us is private and not shown to anyone else.
Status
We moved to a new instance and things are working now.
New Thorvald’s Prism
With the latest delivery be Neotori, we also received a new toy:
Thorvald’s Prism. A small and thus very affordable andportable penis stroker.
Neotori restocked
A new delivery by Neotori (English / German) has arrived.
All toys are back in stock again.
(Yes, postings in the category „Disturbing Dildo Deliveries“ are basically copy&pasted.
There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)
