Mitchelbob appears to post dozens of links to archive.ph and not much else, is this an organized phishing attempt or just an issue with archive.ph?

- chaosite 5y agoThey seem to submit a link then post an archive.ph link as a comment.
- seszett 5y ago... indeed, looks like all the recent links to archive.ph that I can find in HN comments (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=archive.ph&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) have this same JS code injected.
- dang 5y agoCome on you guys - users obviously do that because they want to be helpful to readers. If you look through mitchbob's comments it's not hard to find perfectly legit posts on other things, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30435861 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30435861
- rosndo 5y agoWhat could possibly make you think that this was a phishing attempt? Because you are a xenophobic asshole and think all Russians are evil hackers trying to steal your data? It’s really sad to see such nastiness rearing it’s head on HN. top.mail.ru is a huge analytics platform, exactly like google analytics, run by the biggest tech company in Russia.
