The responsible thing would be also to release all related data, icluding personal information (IP adresses, emails, list of contacts, chat logs) to investigation (police, etc)
- anoncow 2y agoWe could lock such repos. No access (not even read-only) and disable accounts. That could also be semi automatic.
- Aurornis 2y agoI’m sure they report serious crimes and at least retain records for questionable activity. I don’t get visibility into internal Discord operations, though. We just see that the perpetrators lost both their Discord server and their accounts disappeared from other Discords they were in. They angrily returned later with new usernames.
- avodonosov 2y ago> I’m sure they report serious crimes and at least retain records for questionable activity. Why are you sure? I really doubt it.
- Avamander 2y agoThat would be a tremendous amount of work, at best they might be forwarding it to some CERT. But I doubt even that. Shutting down the accounts is probably the best they can do.
- TechDebtDevin 2y agoDoesnt really matter if the scammers are in bum fuck egypt (literally)
- avodonosov 2y agoLaw enforcement has ways to work across borders (international agreements, etc). Such mechanisms should and will improve with time. If a countly doesn't provide legal support against scammers, then the requesting country can reciprocate - declare green light for scammers agains the refusing country.
