Every self hoster's nightmare holy cow.
- fleddr 5y agoThe only fun part of the experience was checking the email queue, once I discovered it. To my amazement, it was simply a dictionary-attack style of approach: a@yahoo.com aa@yahoo.com ab@yahoo.com And so on. This was 20 years ago so I'm sure it's more sophisticated now, sending based on web scrapers, leaked databases, etc.
