Right now, stellars are being handed out at 5K, if you are willing to give them a facebook login. This person is acquiring 100K/stellars an hour, which equals 20 facebook logins/hour.
- curiousAl 12y agoWhy would this be hard to spoof? What's required here? Multiple Facebook accounts and a quick script?
- glimcat 12y agoLet's just say, it's a fairly trivial exercise if you have access to a botnet.
- adamnemecek 12y agoIt seems like you have to had the account for a while. But yeah, far from perfect protection regardless.
- glimcat 12y agoPeople with networks of fake accounts routinely set them up in advance & run simulated activity. This is normally used for e.g. selling fake likes. It's taken as a given that you will have regular churn as accounts are detected, occasionally high spikes of turnover as fraud detection and safeguards change, that kind of stuff. Often the action of converting network behavior into currency activity is what burns accounts. Given an alternative way of rapidly converting part of that network into a compelling quantity of USD, and the fact that you're routinely rotating accounts anyway...offering to pay money or money-equivalents for Facebook connections in an automated fashion is pretty much screaming for fraudsters to call in the biggest airstrike they can before you come to your senses.
- adamnemecek 12y agoYeah, I'm well aware of that. I was answering the 'what's required' part.
