don’t human artists also learn by looking at copyrighted material? one of us is missing something

“but they take all the risk, they deserve the reward”

what risk? the only thing they risk is becoming one of us if they fail hard enough and have to go get a regular job

if you log into mainstream SM with your account then all previous and future things you do on that system will be linked to you on their end in some way.

i prefer pairdrop specifically because there’s no install.

however, looks like local send (after install) might work offline as long as they local network is up.

oh, yeah. it’s not perfect but it sure does remove so much crap i don’t intend to read.

i recently missed an event invite because of it… luckily i was just a late responder and have not actually missed the event itself

i definitely have to “browse” the unimportant emails regularly

I’m using Google. I’ve done that too. protecting inboxes is step one for sure, but i also want to know the extent of this. it’s not enough for me to just block the emails and leave it at that.

if it keeps coming and i fail to block them all i want to have some info on the intent of this so I can properly educate others i work with to defend ourselves

I’ve seen hundreds of those and they’re mostly phishing attempts. this new one doesn’t look anything like that.

this one has multiple addresses in the CC field, at least one of which is always a predefined list on the senders side. and it’s otherwise a legit looking support ticket response.

but i want to know what’s the origin, what’s the vectors, and what’s the target.

not sure if all of them did, but some did for sure. off looking address too

i assume something just got popular with script kiddies, but i want to know what it is and what systems it effects so i can know if I’m protected or not.

gonna keep looking at least as long as i keep seeing this happening

I’ve done that, but it’s spreading.

never forget about the sarcasm razor… whichever one it is

this isn’t that

other than specific filters and generic spam filter I have the “if content contains ‘unsubscribe’ then mark as read and never mark important”

first day on the internet?

that’s not going to stop the hacked system from spamming myself and every other customer they have. I would highly doubt if they even take the time to look at any replies let alone actually read them and unsubscribe anyone who asked for it… after the entire hack was over because I called one company and they were already aware of the hack and were trying to stop it.
