I guess, if you subscribe to the weird belief that shorting is evil. Or are you referring to something else entirely?

Nobody wants bitcoin denominated mortgages.

I think many people fail to realize that bitcoins are divisible in a way that cash isn’t. While massive deflation would require you to print more cash, with Bitcoin you can just use a smaller amount.

Not at all semantics. In the US any kind of military service implies a decent chance of being sent to war, that’s certainly not the case in Switzerland. Conscription in Europe is more akin to a summer camp, you really can’t compare it to mi

Unfortunately despite the amazing content all bellingcat links are automatically flagged on HN because apparently they attract flamewars.

You mean 20% of conscripts choose to opt out because they don’t want to spend a year of their life in the military? :)

At least in Finland people aren’t really vetted. The “determined unfit for service” thing is more of an opt-out, nobody will force it upon you unless you’re obviously disabled. You have to go to the doctor and ask to be deemed unfit, you’d

FWIW I don’t think you normally refer to forced conscripts as “vets” unless they’ve actually been in combat.

Yeah, because that $16 plan is totally going to last for long after people start abusing this at scale.

I think you are not who you claim to be. If you are, you should know better. I never said I got root at Linode, but I did have root at Linode. FWIW I dumped all the MIT, nmap and Sucuri data in HTP5 and popped the shells on swiftircd bo

Money killed hacker groups, I suppose the rise of cryptocurrency is to blame for dealing the final blow. Almost all of us involved in the creation of HTP5 were children, few of us cared about money. It didn’t seem attainable at the time any

You don’t need any of those things, you can just rent a dedicated server (perhaps even a VPS) and send over a LoA and have the host route the IPs to your box. I’ve never had to deal with colo or think about hardware to have my IPs announce.

That’s my point. These accounts are worth a couple of dollars, nobody would spend $50 on a hacked uber or doordash account. These accounts are only worth anything as long as they’re cheaper and easier to use than stolen credit cards.

The tools are there for SMS too.

by ryanlol 6y ago
That’s bullshit, nobody is going to bother with attacks like this to steal your uber or doordash account. SMS 2fa kills credential stuffing attacks for all but the highest value targets.

Only weird nerds actually sign their emails (beyond DKIM), people conducting meaningful transactions do not.

BGP hijacking, you can send a fake LOA to almost any ISP and have them announce whatever IPs you’d like.
