I think we can agree that cryptocurrencies are a real thing that exist. This article is about the usual options/forex/cryptocurrency brokerage scam, where a fake brokerage takes your money to trade on their fake trading platform.

100k USDT is a small amount of money for anyone trading professionally.

This is a minor caveat. Whats the problem with just selling your USDT on the market if you have less than 100k?

No, it’s not. At least not for any meaningful definition of “depeg”.

Why? You’d expect there to be far more people at the street level than on top floors. And in any case, even if such accidents would be worse, they’d also be vast less common. It’s more difficult to fuck things up in the air, and the level o

Actually, it’s Hillary Clinton DDoSing Tor to cover up recently released evidence linking her and the DNC to a child-trafficking organisation that worked with Jeffrey Epstein. On a more serious note, Tor DDoS attacks are always DNM related.

Sure, but that’s at best a minor implementation detail. Doesn’t meaningfully increase the difficulty of detection.

LD_PRELOAD rootkits are super common, you’re doing it wrong if you’re using dynamically linked binaries to look for malware on Linux.

What reason do you have to believe that besides the targets? Feature-wise this isn't significantly more advanced than public LD_PRELOAD kits like Umbreon, developed by literal children. A basic BPF filter isn't fancy or difficult
