I had not noticed the post time stamp at the beginning of the video.

In theory it could be faked. Although at least part of the video had to be taken on it after 12:18:21. I don’t see any reason why someone would take looking at the PM part of the video ahead of time to wait until the password is reset to take the first part.

It is trivial to change your displayed time zone, even to something other than complete hour differences.

See below:

It would be unusual and counterproductive to ban someone hacking accounts. This would only force the person to connect to the forum via alternate means, and it would be difficult to know if it is the same person if he hacks more accounts. It would also make it more difficult to track possible vulnerabilities that need to be closed. It would be better to give the person rope to bang himself with and go to law enforcement with evidence of his crimes if he is causing a problem.

In that case, the person submitted to the disclosure of information. BitcoinGirl.Club can show anyone his IP logs, which can be accessed by any user. This is also different as in this case, someone is recovering their account while in the J4Y case, he was trying to prove he was the original owner.

I don’t think it would be appropriate for a moderator admin to disclose confidential information to settle a dispute involving no money and only the disclosure of something that makes another forum user look bad.

Based on the fact that BitcoinGirl.Club and LFC appears to be buttbuddies, I would lean towards him being hacked.

I would say the disclosed PMs do make both BitcoinGirl.Club and LFC look bad. In LFCs own words, asking to oppose the flag makes it look like he is a “shill”. Asking BitcoinGirl.Club to lie about why he opposes the flag isn’t good either.

There are plenty of use cases, not related to the forum that someone might want to use the API with, both legitimate and not legitimate.

I could see someone using it to create comments on social media in an attempt to gain followers for example.

It is also only a matter of time before these types of models can easily be created by someone with minimal technical skills like a cat/dog classifier CNN model, or a numerical digit classifier model.

100 automated queries would probably be frowned upon by google.

I created a bot that uses a headless browser (the code) if you wanted an example code.

Your project would not be difficult, however your budget is low, and your output would violate the TOS of google. If you wanted to increase your budget by ~10x, and change your requirements to a search engine to one that allows automated queries, I could help you. Otherwise, feel free to review the above code for somewhat of a guide for using a headless browser, which should be the most difficult part of your requirements.

As a FYI, google has safeguards in place to prevent automated searches as you describe. A handful of searches via automation probably will not cause problems for you, but a "large text file"'s worth of searches may cause google to prevent you from conducting searches.

At one point Tic Tok was accessing the data in your phone's clipboard as frequently as every keystroke made in the App. It also has access to location data, such as where you are anytime you give the app access to your location.

The later can be used to figure out where you both work and live. Given that many people post videos having to do with your their occupation, TicTok can potentially be used to find locations of workplaces in various industries. It could also be used to measure economic activity, know where population centers are specifically.

The app also apparently collects much more data about your phone than most other social media apps collect. I am sure there are other privacy implications to this other data collection, both on an individual, and population level.

Good job in being transparent.

I hope the OP can say he is happy with the outcome, but I would say that this is not something that inspires confidence.

I won’t comment on the main issue, but I will say that you should set clear expectations if you do decide to enter this business. This means all involved parties understand the level of confidentiality they are receiving, the risks of the transaction that you cannot control and what actions you will take, such as leaving a neutral rating.

For example, if you promise the details of the transaction will remain confidential, you will harm your credibility if you leak details of the transaction. One might even argue you would be breaking a written agreement. You don’t necessarily need to agree to confidentiality, but you should be transparent with those involved if this is the case.

Appearently they were able to get some Twitter employees to give them access to internal twitter systems. I would say this should be very embarrassing on the part of Twitter.

It appears that twitter is investing far too much time in 'social justice' and far too little time in their security.

Some have suggested these people have a career in pen-testing ahead of them, however they apparently did an especially poor job in covering their tracks. It is probably a better bet that twitter has especially poor internal security. One might even suggest that twitter has 'MtGox level' security.

A lot of prominent Democrats were implicated in this dump. Giuffre may have credibility problems, but I think there is a good chance a lot of powerful people will end up going to jail.

In the US, there are laws against campaigning within certain distances of polling sites. To account for social distancing, the boundaries that prohibit campaigning can be extended. These boundaries are generally respected, but when they are not, the offenders can be arrested.

Early voting can be extended, so people can vote early.
Identity threft is prevelant to the extent that either hacked accounts, or accounts that were opened with stolen identities are were being sold on a bitcoin forum. 

Fraud is a problem for banks and credit card companies. A lot of money is being invested in AI to detect fraudulent transactions. Sometimes this AI can be wrong and will tell a bank to decline a legitimate transaction. If a legitimate vote is declined, that voter will be disenfranchised.

I don't see any basis for delaying the election. Trump suggesting that we should delay the election is not going to help his chances of getting a second term.

With the above being said, there is also no reason to not have in-person voting with voter ID.

There is an arguement that an election that occurs on any date other than November 3 would be invalid without a prior act of congress. Trump even trying to delay the election would cause a major clusterfuck within the US government.

This is not to say that having a mail-in election would involve equal, or possibly worse fuckery. A mail-in election is almost guaranteed to produce results that will be questioned by anyone not on the winning side. Traditionally, absentee ballots number less than the margin of victory, so screwing them up will not affect the outcome of the election. It is not uncommon for mail to be delayed or lost, and a small percentage of votes being lost, or "lost" could easily flip the results of an election.

Mail-in voting also raises the risk of fraud due to forged ballots. The design of a ballot is going to be public because they will be distributed to the public, therefore anyone could possibly print an arbitrary number of ballots, and mail them in envelopes similar to those used to return ballots to election officials (also public).

The expiration of the enhanced UI benefits will make the lockdowns much less popular, and if lockdows are lifted, it will be more difficult to allow everyone to vote via mail.

I think the issue of alleged multi-accounting is a red herring. Before the issue of possible multi-accounting is addressed, SB needs to articulate how specifically they were harmed by the OP using multiple accounts. They also need to disclose the total deposits, and the total withdrawals they will allow across all of the accounts they are alleging to belong to the OP.

Without the disclosure of the above information, the OP having multiple accounts does not matter, and I would view the situation as SB using a technalicity to arbitrarily confescate user winnings, and as such, SB would be a high risk to trade with.

I reviewed SB's trust page and found this:
The above is SB saying they decided to ask to verify a customer's KYC due to possible future double spending aginst them. They specifically did not say that their customer even attempted to double spend any of their deposits, but rather that they believed their customer would attempt to double spend a deposit in the future. They ended up confiscating 6.5 BTC (~$50k at the time). I think it is important to note, they did not KYC verify their customer as soon as they discovered the "suspicious" behavior, but rather started KYC verification after their customer was up ~12 BTC.

Being a "high risk shithead" is not the same as being "high-risk in trading".

If someone offers to mediate a dispute, and the mediation is unable to offer an explanation that is satisfactory to observers, there is no reason why an observer should be obligated to accept the outcome of said mediation. This is even true for the OP, unless he has explicitly agreed the outcome of the mediation is binding, which I have not seen evidence of. It is not uncommon for parties involved in a dispute to engage in non-binding mediation to try to resolve disputes; sometimes it is successful, but oftentimes it is not.

Yes I know. Steganography can also be used to hide messages 'in plain sight', somewhat similar to the timestamps on videos by al qaeda and the Taliban in the early 2000's. 


Any code that does something without the consent of the end user is malware, and is likely illegal to be sending to others. Gathering information about a computer without the consent of the user, I believe crosses the threshold to sending malware.

Even if you were able to identify the person behind the blackmail, I don't think there is much the girl or Eddie can do. If you tell the person you know his identity, he can destroy evidence of his crimes, and possibly disseminate the pictures you want to keep private.

In May and early June there were a lot of people at the various protests who wanted to actually protest (even if under dubious circumstances), and there were some agitators who were causing a lot of violence. This was the opportunity for Democrats to condemn the violence.

BLM tried political violence in September 2016, but it was too late in the election season to have a major effect and the Governor was able to quickly stop it with the National guard. This election season, BLM started the political violence too early. They were able to bully people into a ~70% approval rating, but will eventually face strong backlash with violence levels not seen since the civil war. The left wing media is not going to be able to hide the violence forever.

It is possible that Biden could die from complications from his dementia. I also don’t think he will be able to get away with staying in his bunker until Election Day. Trump agreed to an interview with Chris Wallace, agreeing to be asked any question, while Biden the following week declined an interview. The mere declining to accept an interview is a bad look on the part of Biden and gives trump ammunition to attack Biden.

The BLM “protests” have also turned into ~5% protest(if that much), 95% riot/violence, and I can see a backlash against the violence. The Democrats failing to condem the political violence early in the rioting (in May) is going to backfire.

I don’t see Biden participating in any debates, but if he does, his poll numbers would quickly drop when the public can see just how good his cognitive ability is. There is also the risk that his dementia gets so bad that he cannot even makes the highly scripted and controlled appearances he is making now.

It is also possible that whoever the DNC chooses to be the VP pick will drop out some number of weeks before the election after seeing how Biden is doing out of fear of embarrassment resulting from it being exposed how Biden is doing.
