I was, perhaps we all were, getting this email "hi I'm a master hacker, know everything about you yadda, yadda" But the funny thing was at the end of the email they would show me a password, claiming it was mine, but it wasn't. Kinda blew the "hackers" credibility right there. So would some doofus write back and correct the "master hacker"? Some of these 'scams' just don't make sense.
Low Effort Memes
Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud
I imagine they write a very common password and between the hundreds of potential victims there will be someone who actually uses it
They can also pull from breach lists. If xyz hacker posts a list of email and passwords online you've got a pretty good starting point.
Think 10s of thousands, and yeah, that was my presumption. I don't use anything that looks remotely like a word or phrase anymore. Not for a long time. But I bet there are people out there, bless them, that do. And those are the marks these scammers are looking for.
I’ve been watching you through your webcam…
Looks up at the barren top of my desktop monitor.
