  1. Another day, another local small business automatically "opting" me into their marketing mailing list using an email address provided only for specific purposes.

    FFS. This time it was the veterinarian. This ain't allowed in Canada.

  6. Days since I had to report a major Canadian retailer to their marketing mail host for not honouring marketing communications preferences, sending non-working links for "manage your preferences" or "unsubscribe", having a non-working link in the List-Help: header of an unsolicited marketing email, and having a website that errors out when trying to use the "contact us" function:

  11. Oh noes - the “System Adminiistrator” is warning me I might be in trouble. What should I do? 😱

    Oh, no I f*cking well haven't!

    Shame on you, Princess Auto!

  13. We're at the point culturally where we have to accept that, much like #uce / #spam, #AISlop will remain widespread.

    How might we have a scoring system ala #spamhaus implemented by a trusted third party/nonprofit to recognize sites that've succumbed to #enshittification via #llm / #generativeAI so we can blacklist domains and warn the user before they visit a site?

  14. What is the status for #IPv6 only #Tor #Exits? I have problems with #UCE blacklisting a /24 of our provider. The Tor Exit is running for 10 years, but maybe it would be a solution to run it IPv6 only for the Exit to just get the IPv6/64 blacklistet which does not do any harm to the other customers in the /24 IPv4 network.
  15. Well, "AI" services are now being marketed via spam, so that tracks.

  16. Anyone heard of daniel from cybersecurityhq.io?
    He's managed to obtain both my work and personal emails, and added them to his daily mailing list. Blatant GDPR violation. I'm guessing he's scraped github or something like that.

  17. Email spam delivery is off the charts for the last week. I have no idea whats driving it, but the numbers for RBL blocks, SASL login spam, and scam mail are at an all time high.

    Attempted distraction campaign during Trump trial? Cyber warfare ramping up as retaliation for war funding (or not)? Hard to say, all I know is there is some push happening right now.

  18. AI-Spam? Zumindest riecht dieses Ticket danach. Schaut für mich aus als ob
    AI sich die Webseite (ffdus.de) angeschaut und passend dafür so einen Motivations-Satz für die Einleitung abgerungen hat.
    In diesem Fall: Respekt! Dass die dann komplett falsch abgebogen sind ("Geld verdienen mit OpenWRT-Config-Tips"?!?): Nunja... AI. Ich hoffe zumindest, dass sich die proklamierten 3 Studis diese Fehlleistung persönlich zuschreiben müssen.

    Wieso kommt mir gerade #Spam in den Sinn... (#UCE: Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail)... 😀

  20. #Webtropia hat vor 2 Tage einen #Server der #Piratenpartei #NRW abgeschaltet wegen angeblicher nicht beantworteter #Abuse Tickets. Der Server ist der #Tor #Exit, der seit Jahren immer mal wieder kurzzeitig gesperrt wurde, aber jetzt hat so ein #Schlangenöl Anbieter für #Blacklists (#UCE oder so) wohl das ganze /24 Subnet in dem der Server ist gesperrt, weil em ja irgendwer #SSH #Bruteforce und #Wordpress Logins durchprobiert.

    #Blacklists in der Art sind eine Seuche und nutzlos, wenn ihr nen Server schützen wollt, dann müsst ihr als Betreiber den sicher machen und solche Attacken erkennen und dann die Angreifer aussperren. Schlangenöl hilft da nicht, wenn die Attacke ist ja schon vorbei wenn eine IP in der Liste gelandet ist.

    #Webtropia gehört zu #myloc und die gehören wiederum seit 2020 zu #WIIT oder so. Sie reagieren jetzt einfach nicht mehr auf #Tickets wie es scheint.

    Was nun? Geld nehmen sie, aber Server ist abgeschaltet.
