so basically guy had backup this whole time, and was searching on the wrong place to begin with then finding old PC and already desperate handed over to Claude, which just found the old backup misleading sensationalism article bait headline

“‘Serving in Congress is an honor, not a side hustle.’ Cute slogan. Meanwhile the blockchain is over here coughing politely.” Bold move banning prediction markets. Now they can get back to the traditional, analog forms of insider trading they’re more comfortable with.

The Finnish IT cyber security community has put a bounty on this threat actor's head. They are going down.

No matter how many crypto "tumbling" or "shape-shifting" services the threat actor is planning to use, in the moment they convert the crypto to FIAT they will get caught, even if they try to use a p2p market.

The internet is not the wild west and this sub-human garbage will soon learn it the hard way.

Cool, can we see some efforts being made related to Revil (Sodinokibi / Wasted Locker), BEC fraud groups and other "e-criminals", who have made significantly larger amounts of more profit from ransomware and scams compared to those "darkweb gangsters" (supposedly usd $10 million from Garmin alone) there has already been a death in a German hospital due to Ransomware.... k10xbai

None of them have an abuse form or contact.

I found an obscure google - groups channel where they mention a contact email.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/recaptcha

Nobody replies back if you email them about abuse of this particular service - reCAPTCHA

This makes reCAPTCHA a popular choice among cyber criminals, because it can not be effectively reported, as opposed to let's say report to the:
-hosting provider
-tls/ssl cert issuer
-domain registrar
where the bad content is stored.
Seems like Google is too big to care.
They also host a huge chunk of malware and phishing and take weeks to resolve reported issues.
Only Google Safe Browsing works very fast, thanks to AI, and not to human support I'd assume.

Yesterday alone (when i checked) there were about 500 FQDNs were registered that had a high Levenshtein Ratio and an Shannon Entropy Information similarity to "Corona". Today there are only 141.

the Electroneum app appears to be unaffected, even-though it allows "mobile mining" for ETN coins.
I mined 100 of those ETN for 1 night with a 1080TI, and with my phone I couldn't even mine 1 for a few days, so I don't know if it is even worth it to waste battery and hinder the phone's performance with such an activity as "mobile mining".
Thus the quote marks.

I bought a MSI Geforce GTX 1080Ti Gaming X (Twin Frozr VI edition) and the price (€880) has not moved down since last June, when I got it.

haha, thank you, this "frat boy" comment made me chuckle

There is a Bulgarian startup that offers users the ability to use only the EMV chip and bypass the magnetic strip. I have officially aksed all banks on their opinion of this product, and received emails from maybe 1 or 2 banks only, that were sketchy. My main question was if my card has both an EMV chip and a magnetic stripe - if i block the stripe with SkimProt does this invalidate my card in some way, could it cause issues with ATMs etc. Nobody bothered to answer me, so i simply went and got a card with ONLY an EMV chip and no mag stripe. But you have to ask for it. In the USA most retailers cant yet read EMVs though, kinda backwards.

with native obfs4 implementation and TOR integration. BOOM!
