Mitigating this is kind of pointless, because so many sites are vulnerable to this.
I got subscription bombed from about a dozen .gov sites a while back. Healthcare.gov, Social Security Administration, WTC Health Program, FDA, National Institute of Mental Health, Medicare.gov.
It's very easy for attackers to do this. Putting in effort to solve this for one site, and expecting any impact, is like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
- alsetmusic 7mo agoYou mitigate because you want to be responsible and not contribute to a problem. One person has to be the first to do something better before it can become a thing that is a best practice throughout an entire industry.
- tantalor 7mo agoLike I said, it's pointless.
- alsetmusic 7mo agoOh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were commenting from a position of selfishness. For people who want to put in a little more effort in hope of inspiring others to do the same and maybe eventually encourage positive change, it’s great.
