Slow-boil threats to #Fediverse.

One attack seems to involve random people spinning up instances they can't maintain and then they put them on #CAGEMAFIA-servers with reasoning like they can't afford the money to setup things properly, they are under attack, they are ill etc.

Then there are influencer-type accounts, and once they have a lot of followers they simply move them, with their followers to a #dotCon server.

These could legitimately be called #DotConCatFishing.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo
They seem to be following thought processes similar to what we suggested at one stage. Ie. Do they own too many IP Addresses? Yes? Block.

Not a bad metric but IPv6 is setup to issue a psychotic numbers of #IPAddresses though, yes?

How many IPAddresses does Sucuri control?

Did you see the section on building your own list for a #dotcon? Might be useful as an addition. Apparenyly they haven't explored IBM and a couple others yet either.

Interesting. We checked a while back and found that the three initial banks were being #MITMd by #CloudFlare and another #dotcon.

Allegedly, "#bitcoin-accepting" #banks are being targetted. Ie. banks that allowed people to move between bitcoin and #fiat are the ones having their confidence undermined. Apparently #ElizabethWarren is partly involved for an open letter that caused an initial run.

No doubt they will try to capitalise on all this by starting the #CBCD.

@ecosurrealism

What we are saying is CloudFlare, as a USA-based #dotcon that is supposedly helping to combat #cyberattacks, but has in fact been serving somes sites that pirate content. Why might that be?

These websites are often designed to look like Russian websites but would a real Russian really allow their website to be mass surveilled by the worst USA MITM Attack (CloudFlare) the world has seen? We doubt it.

See #astroturf, #frontGroup or #controlledOpposition for more.

We were blocked by the monopolist #dotCon from reaching our subscribers.

SOLUTION: Operate our own sites from servers of the same dotCon that abused us.

#monopoly

Articles laud a particular team at a #dotCon for finding vulnerabilities in a #modem.

The funny thing is the #vulnerability appears to be in the #firmware and not the modem per se. The firmware is likely #propietary, so this is *not* not the great success story for the dotCon as the #securityTheatre-hungry talking heads may suggest.

Modems will be safer when they are fully #FOSS

That is the latest from their I2P implementation.

Re timing of the attack: its likely a response to being integrated into the #bitcoin network. First a #botFarm attack on #dotCon-based #messageBoards in an attemp to have I2Ps page banned. Then other network attacks followed, now zzz and their site is completely disappeared.

While #I2Pd exists and is a good, its targetted to the power user and lacks a native #torrenting client. Though, the last thing zzz did was release a standalone.

Do the fools have just the weekend to #getOffGitHub? Haha

How about a new icon for #dotCons. A #jackInTheBox with #daggers. Just change the colours to match the particular #dotCon you are talking about.

@matera
Their is some #dotCon at the moment trying to block people from seeing "#unwanted" and "#uncommon" pages.

We sh!t you not.

@armact
Thanks for sharing.

Their website (https://peaceAndJusticeNetwork.ca) is pretty safe for TorBrowser, but we would suggest to them to never use #tinyURL.com because it goes through CloudFlare, which allows the #dotCon goliath to track people, or track what might be popular and/or not popular, and allows people to be targetted.

Thanks for sharing.

#peaceAndJusticeNetwork

It's looking like #Rumble is being positioned as the next cool, hip #dotCon.

Users seem to think #Rumble has has their back.

When we tell them, its a #surviellanceApparatus that blocks #internetAnonymisers, then it clicks for them, "Oh yeah, they wouldn't let me do XYZ until I gave them my name and contact details".

People are not learning from fairly recent past mistakes, here.

#insanity #historyRepeating #fakebook2p0

We just discovered that a #WorkersUnion for one #dotCon is having its web traffic intercepted by another of the dot-cons, namely CloudFlare.

Having a little chuckle about that.

We meant to have wrote, "should and generally are taking the time to" do

Yes and no, we a seeing one-click solutions emerge to some difficult problems in the space.

> IPFS

Yes that sounds exciting. We think part of the reason it hasn't taken off might have to do with the #dotCon dominance, which may be waning.

After #suppressing so-called anti-#Ukraine content in #Poland, the #dotcon will now target #Germany via #advertising.

Fedifrens, how might #vitality be drained by fake ads selling #narratives?

FYI, #uBlock is on #TorBrowser by default in #TailOS.

Web02 refers to the growth and expansion of the World Wide Web during the late 1990s and early 2000s, as the web became more accessible and user-friendly, and was increasingly adopted for commercial purposes. This era saw the rise of #dotcon companies, characterized by the growth of social media, mobile devices, and cloud computing. The web had become increasingly interactive and interconnected, and has become a critical tool for communication, misinformation, social control and commerce.

Goodbye CloudFlare and other #dotCon-served instances who are cheating humanity. You will not be missed.

When people ask, "What is the worst that can happen from feeding <#dotCon> all my information?", say…
"Do you tell strangers everything about you and your movements?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because they can and have been shown to use the information against you at any time, and you won't know about it."

POLL: If someone made 'downward-sloping', 'upside-down', and 'ban' variants of #dotCon icons, namely msoft, amazn, ggle, appl, spacx, fbook, cflare would you want your instance to include them?

PLEASE TAG your admin in your answer.

Thanks for taking part.
