News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Hmmm, erm71... Interesting attempt to hide

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 110 points 2 days ago (5 children)

With a quick google, what are the chances that erm71 is code for "Elon Reeve Musk 1971".
There no way that a tech savvy individual would do something as simple as use his name and DOB for usernames and email addresses... Whats his password "teslarulez1971!"?

[–] Dashi@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I'm sure that is exactly what it means. The point was to hide it a little bit, it's not the standard first.last of everyone else but to make it still uniquely identifiable as musk. It's not a completely unheard of practice to hide potential high spam targets. The goal isn't to completely hide, just make it slightly harder to find

okay so what do you wanna do with them now?

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Could be anything from on entry point on a phishing campaign to simply flooding their inbox with useless shit

Edit

Also, they likely use exchange, so if you were to spoof their email@ domain.onmicrosoft.com address, you could really trick people into thinking it was an official email from any of those addresses

Wow, sure would be a shame if someone steganographically embedded all the info into a bunch of meme images and then posted them, wouldn’t it?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know what to do with this.

But I sure hope someone does.

one fun thing we can already see; they're .gov addresses, so it's clearly not OUTSIDE the government. this is officially a government action, if laws still existed, that would have all sorts of interesting implications for everyone involved.

they don't, but, like, if they did.
