Effort that's put into doubt or hate, when it's that extreme, it's the same thing as love.
The same intensity they waste on resistance, I channel into existence.
While they fight the past, I'm building tomorrow.
New, from me:
Scammers Unleash Flood of Slick Online Gaming Sites
Fraudsters are flooding Discord and other social media platforms with ads for hundreds of polished online gaming and wagering websites that lure people with free credits and eventually abscond with any cryptocurrency funds deposited by players. Here’s a closer look at the social engineering tactics and remarkable traits of this sprawling network of more than 1,200 scam sites.
....The gaming sites all require users to create a free account to claim their $2,500 credit, which they can use to play any number of extremely polished video games that ask users to bet on each action. At the scam website gamblerbeast[.]com, for example, visitors can pick from dozens of games like B-Ball Blitz, in which you play a basketball pro who is taking shots from the free throw line against a single opponent, and you bet on your ability to sink each shot.
The financial part of this scam begins when users try to cash out any “winnings.” At that point, the gaming site will reject the request and prompt the user to make a “verification deposit” of cryptocurrency — typically around $100 — before any money can be distributed. Those who deposit cryptocurrency funds are soon asked for additional payments.

Here's what some of these scam gambling (scambling?) sites look like. They're pretty polished.

Yeah, let's give an American company access to loads of government data and pay them a load of money to run the government for us using software that systematically fabricates false information and has nasty racial biases. That'll surely stimulate the UK economy.
My Mom reads so much that she often sends tips to stories I didn't know about. Last night, she goes, Hey I heard you're in a new HBO documentary. I was like, uh....really?
I'd forgotten that I sat for an interview with some filmmakers from Finland who were working on a series about Julius Kivimaki, a Finnish cybercriminal "who rose to infamy after forcing a U.S. passenger plane to make an emergency landing, shutting down PlayStation globally, and orchestrating several dangerous SWAT attacks – including one targeting the family of an FBI agent."
Looking forward to seeing the series, which apparently includes interviews w/ Allison Nixon, Joe Tidy, and Mikko Hypponen. Debuts on HBO Max Sept. 5.
