@rayglittersoft At least #IRCs that I know of have proper #moderation tools to prevent #spamming and shit like #CSAM links.

  • It's really fucking sad to see that by all accounts I could get from folks in the day that even #AnonOps's #IRC was more able and willing to swing the #BanHammer.

Cuz #discord doesn't remove messages from #banned / deleted users, and instead let repeat offenders stay against wrongful claims by the then-CEO, so accounts with 240+ recorded cases of CSAM distribution remain on the platform and not get banned with something that no legitimate hoster would accept.

  • And with "legit" I mean even stuff like #CyberBunker because CSAM is something everyone but #ClownFlare and #RBN will not just fire clients, but turn *them and their data in to law enforcement just to evidently not being an accomplice in said crime!

@can @daniel since #Spamming is illegal in #Germany but #Cops won't do shit, I just look up their next competitior, ask them if they want to send the offender a costly cease and decist and if so provide them with evidence that this was indeed #ColdMailing.

  • Sadly noone ever offered me a cut in return...

#FuckTheSystem = #LetThemFight each other!

@txtechnician @gattaca I mean, #FaxSpam is a real thing.

But like #SMS #Spamming and #Robocalling it's not much of a concern in #Germany because @BNetzA quickly terminates offending numbers.

hey you #fediverse #mods. what is it with all the #clickbait news bots #spamming 3 days old news all over the place? annoying.

@Dendrobatus_Azureus personally, I think it's high time that #ISPs will force customers to take #ITsec seriously and terminate connections upon abuse reports.

Not that I'd take #AbuseReports by #RogueISP|s like #CloudFlare serious anyway but I've yet to find any #ISP that doesn't allow them to terminate services at any time without warning if the services are used against their ToS and every #B2C / #consumer ISP explicitly bans #DDoS, #malware distribution and #hacking in said Terms of Service.

  • And yes I've seen cases where ISPs (most notably #DTAG) did terminate connectivity following a malware infection and #Spamming from a consumer's #DSL line.

Sounds harsh but #LackOfAccountability & #LackOfConsequences got us here!

Apparently, there exists a website called ipv4[.]games, where you can register HTTP web requests from hosts where you have access to. Once accessed, you can "claim" the requesting #IPv4 address with an #HTTP GET request on /claim?name=<NAME>.

The leaderboard leads the person which claims most addresses of various /8 networks.

It is wild to see partially 6-digit numbers for various /8s claimed by one and the same user.

My guess is: Either they leverage residential proxies, or leverage perhaps mass-spamming on having millions of people world-wide clicking links, or alternatively, leveraging modern software design to do the lookup for them (e.g. website previews on social media, or anti-phishing services that do a lookup, before they forward the mail to you).

No matter what, I am sure that millions of these IP addresses in there can be harvested as #open #proxies

Other than that, I like the idea, and love how gamification leads to some people developing creative ways on making millions of hosts on the Internet access this website. It probably still invites to unsolicited requests from strangers unknowingly participating in the game of a tech-savvy person.

We do have laws. And when I'm in the mood i respond to SPAM informing them if the law and the fine of $3k and some change for each email and that's for the person AND the company.

I actually am going to do that on an email I looked at this morning that had TEN previous SPAM emails he's RE'd to to my company. Dude's going down.

@juliewebgirl @elfin I'm just glad #ColdMailing and forcing people into #NewsletterSubscriptions.is so illegal in #Germany that #Spamming is treated like a #felony as in corporations slap each other with expensive "ceade and decist letters"
