@ElliesSurviving @torproject personally, the Enshittification only radicalizes me to have even less than zero tolerance for garbarge sites;

I don't have to evidence I'm human!

Websites have to evidence to me they ain't "AI" slop, Cryptojacking, AdFarming, Rage- or Clickbait Disinformation trash full with malware and exploits!

They have to evidence they're worth my time and money (as in compute power & traffic) to even be opened!

And we need to be more intolerant to intolerable garbage like ClownFlare!

From poisoned search results to GPU mining: A cryptojacking campaign abusing ScreenConnect and Microsoft .NET utilities

Microsoft Defender Experts identified an active cryptojacking campaign leveraging AI-assisted delivery mechanisms alongside traditional SEO poisoning. Attackers create fake download sites impersonating trusted utilities like CrystalDiskInfo, HWMonitor, and FurMark, targeting users with high-performance GPUs. Victims download ZIP archives containing legitimate executables bundled with malicious DLLs that establish persistence via ScreenConnect remote access tools. The operation employs sophisticated techniques including DLL sideloading, process hollowing into Microsoft-signed .NET binaries, and comprehensive defense evasion. Beyond cryptocurrency mining, the campaign establishes persistent remote access that could enable data theft, lateral movement, or ransomware deployment. The threat actors deliberately target PC enthusiasts and hardware-focused users most likely to own discrete GPUs suitable for profitable mining operations.

@sirfharu I reported that coinbase (crypto spam) and blocked as well my end. The one in your neighbourhood post.
When did mastodon start to have these spammers? No place they seem to have spared.
