This was a common way to harvest 6-digit ICQ numbers back in the day. Hotmail, MSN etc. had expiring email addresses as well that you could register to reset the password to the ICQ number.
- vmception 6y agooh yeaahh I forgot about the travesty of expiring emails on free services.
- ObsoleteNerd 6y agoYeah this has been a common attack since as early as I can remember. Company goes bust? Wait for their domain to expire then register/catch-all and start seeing what mail you get from websites to see where there’s accounts using that domain. Also plenty of more targeted methods too.
- Thorrez 6y agoI wonder if it would be useful to use Have I Been Pwned to find a list of accounts on websites using that domain.
