Oh, there's a new #wankstortion campaign brewing, it seems.

The one that inboxed here today (https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/20260101_wankstortion_localhost.localdomain.62yun.com_peter@bsdly.net_cleartext.txt) came, unusually, over IPv6 - 2a0d:6c2:6:6bd:: (the 62yun.com net), otherwise unremarkable. See "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html #sextortion #blackmail #bitcoin #bitcon #cybercrime

glancing at the #spamd log I see attempts like

Sep 15 14:53:06 skapet spamd[85002]: (GREY) 103.120.44.85: <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>
Sep 15 14:53:06 skapet spamd[70382]: Trapping 103.120.44.85 for tuple 103.120.44.85 [103.120.44.85] <[email protected]> <[email protected]>

I suspect another #wankstortion campaign but won't know for sure until something actually inboxes (unlikely) or enough shows up in the log itself. In the meantime, https://www.nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html

Reminder of a problem that should not exist, last night the #wankstortion archive https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/ got a full message from a new campaign, showing what swelled the number of trapped hosts over the last few days.

Expect more silliness along the lines of "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" to hit your users again and again. https://nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html #cybercrime #sextortion #scams #cryptocurrency #cryptotulips #bitcoin #bitcon

The slime also evolves, apparently. Today https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/[email protected][email protected] (https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/[email protected][email protected]_original_base64.txt) inboxed, as far as I can recall the first #wankstortion message received here over #IPv6 (and likely inboxed for that reason, bypassing the IPv4 only #spamd).

See "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html and links therein for some background #cybercrime #scams #sextortion #bitcon #bitcoin #cryptotulips #cryptocurrency #extortion #teksavvy

Looking for something else entirely I notice there is a #wankstortion campaign in progress (~600 hosts) targeting (of course) the imaginary friends aka spamtraps, again.

Is that even worth reporting on in more detail these days?

(data accumulating in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/ as usual, previous reported in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html, MO repeating)

#cybercrime

This morning had me notice a new episode of the type described in "The Despicable, No Good, Blackmail Campaign Targeting ... Imaginary Friends?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/despicable_no_good_blackmail.html (or prettified, tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-despicable-no-good-blackmail.html), the first in quite a while, I might add.

Data so far to be perused at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/20241009/ (now refreshed & gzipped).
