WaRNING!!! a bums rush of Trolls coming your way!

3 failed attempts last night originating from Walnut, California, 91789.

 

Makes you wonder what they intend to do if they successfully logged in. Maybe they're desperate to share that they finally figured out the PGF Kodachrome II development timeline, along with a signed confession from the Seattle lab?

Passwords are funny things. You could be my best friend and wife and have zero idea what my passwords are. And attempts to "hack" using a VPN or whatever are just going to fail. I'm pretty sure password rippers would take a few decades to guess it too, even if you had the hash.

 

There are far more successful ways to steal accounts than attempting to guess passwords. 

 

Password guessing is the "sitting on the swings until end of recess" elementary school bullshit that backwards brained morons do when they have no life. Sure you might get to frustrate one poorly secured account using a top 1000 common passwords, but it doesn't make you smart or mentally stable with a win like that.

 

Moral of the story? Some moron has too much time in his hands and hasn't touched grass in far too long. And use a password consisting of four words strung together are easier to remember for you and improbably hard to guess for anyone else.

 

And don't use the same ones for every site.

He or she isn’t doing it to gain access to an account, they are doing it to lock your account for the prescribed amount of time.

 

Its just harassment.

 Ah sure. Makes sense. There's a tool called fail2ban on Linux that blocks IPs that do this. It works. Wound up blocking every IP in Africa once (at least the entire 41., lol) at an email provider because certain countries don't take fighting fraud seriously enough.

Yes, it is harassment. It is also attempted identity theft, cyber crime, a denial of service attack and, above all else, a very weak and under-handed thing to do.  Instead of being a criminal; they could easily get a BFF account and express their opinions in a civil manner.  Pro Bigfoot, or Con, reasonable and polite people are welcomed here by the vast majority of participants.

Perhaps it is an empowerment thrill perpetrated by individuals of very low self esteem. I say this because  these type of crimes have no financial gain.

all I know is that the ISF is up and running in operation, but they've gone private to hide their conversations. A couple of them, an "inertia" dude and some guy who calls himself "immolokee" are supposedly the principals planning the attack on BFF

 

Don't shoot the messenger!

 

 

😂😂🤣

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

I'm gonna let you stay because you're trying so hard.

 

Just please stop cursing.

This is a little dramatic. Its not a cyber crime. Its not attempted identity theft, and its not  a denial of service. Its it, however, pathetic and boring.

 really?  Stealing logins is not a cyber crime?  Maliciously logging in as someone else is not identity theft?  Being locked out of the forum because someone tried to hack your account is not a denial of service?  ;/

correct. identity theft insinuates stealing personal data like credit card #, ssn, etc. DOS is when one overwhelms a service provider's system and crashes your ability to use the internet altogether. Stealing logins, which have no monetary value, is not a cyber crime. There is not a single prosecutor in the country who would take this case. It is harassment, but probably doesn't meet the legal standard for actionable offense.

Boy, that's a growing phenomenon (like crime in general), isn't it? Coincidence?

Even prior to the moronic soros funded social justice prosecutor era, nobody would have touched this as its not a crime.

It would be a huge overreach of judicial authority to charge for stealing a password to a bigfoot forum. Nothing of value would be lost. In addition, you would have to, in all likelihood, get a federal prosecutor to pursue it, as the crime would cross state lines and the jurisdiction would be a mess to figure out. Just a totally dead case. 

 

Could you contort yourself into saying its a crime? Its possible. But, I wouldn't bother going down this path. There is no honey in the hive. The fact of the matter is that its a low effort beta male attack on a forum and in terms of hacking, its the most pathetic attempt one can muster. Randomly guessing 3 passwords to try to login to a bigfoot site has an infinitesimal chance of working and the lockout period from this site is pretty short. Its just a bizarre "flex" from the dorks at ISF. It reminds me of how forums raided eachother 20 years ago. Pretty odd behavior in 2024. Clearly, we are dealing with a group of people who have a collective mental illness.

All of that is true. That's why this crime will never stop: there is no punishment for it. And that is why this society is going down: crime has less and decreasing downside, so it will continue to degrade the social/cultural fabric.

Again, that is yet another reflection of the society overall. It is collapsing. It has failed. It is ill. And there is no effective treatment because the treatment is rejected.........like how you have rejected the prosecution of cyber crime.
