Peace Trove Being Indexed To Accounts On Unhacked Sites

Posted on by

The social media password dumps of Myspace, LinkedIN, and possibly others that were brought to public light by Peace are now being indexed and packaged1 to identify vulnerable accounts on other platforms. The war on the web has been simmering since the web went to shit soon after its birth. The work of Peace is forcing social media and web forum users to muster all of the earnestness at their command and confront the hard reality of their assorted user accounts actually not conveying any identity at all. Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT, but they could not. Him in our time.

  1. It is rare, but yes. Some people appear to actually be undertaking economically useful activity through producing "information products."  ↩

Oklahomos Test Literal Due Process Circumvention Device For Electronic Seizures

Posted on by

The Oklahoma State Patrol1 (WOT:nonpeople) is now testing a new device that is sure to set the standard for "law enforcement" officers that wish to quickly steal citizens funds without the hassle of due process. The Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, or ERAD for short, allows officers to scan any credit or debit cards of individuals suspected of criminal activity and seize any funds contained on them. Before the cards presented a mystery to officers who had to wonder how much their victim could pull out the an ATM with their debit card. A copy of the work contract with the state shows that they are paying a price of $5000 for the scanners and associated software, an expense which is surely to be quickly recouped within days. Sorry For Your Loss.

Bitcoin Difficulty Dials Back 1.63%

Posted on by

In its march to cross 2 trillion Bitcoin network difficulty has decreased by 1.63 percent from 199312067531.24301147 to 196061423939.64996338 during its latest adjustment. The next mining subsidy halving is still on schedule with all of the chaos that entails. Expect anything,1 but it is likely that weaker miners will continue getting squeezed out with only small temporary dips in network hashrate. Weakening fiat markets in China and the fresh constraint on new coin market entry are likely to lead the way at fiat/Bitcoin interfaces with the weaker and more fraudulent fiat/Bitcoin interfaces potentially getting squeezed as well in the manner of Mt Gox. Sorry for your loss.

  1. Due to the likelihood of intensified fraud on the fiat side all manner of short term trends are possible.  ↩

Cameroon national Eric Donys Simeu (WOT:nonperson) has been charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, computer fraud and access device fraud by US Authorities after being arrested in France for his role in an airline ticket scam.

He then used this information to issue tickets at will, selling them for cash or using them for personal travel, eventually raking in almost $2 million USD. Simeu was arrested while using one of his fake tickets to travel from Morocco to Paris using a fraudulent UK passport in 2014, and was only extradited to U.S. last week.

Bitfinex Pays Protection Money To US CFTC

Posted on by

The United States Commodity and Futures Trading Commission announced that it has secured $75,000 in protection money from shambling forum scam Bitfinex. The pretext behind this payment is that Bitfinex participated in a sort of transaction the CFTC frowns upon implying its other business at this time has the tacit approval of this organ of the criminal gang in Washington, DC. In the past the CFTC has repeatedly tried to insist it has a place in Bitcoin in spite of all actual evidence to the contrary.1

  1. This evidence includes asserting its will over Bitfinex, the shambling forum scam that succeeded Mt Gox and Bitstamp as the shambling forum scam of choice as its predecessors have withered. Bitfinex will likely be succeeded in this role as well, but the next shambling forum scam to takes its place has yet to be determined.  ↩
