General Reports

Was talking to a provider that I'm semi friendly with who had a significant presence on TNA. She's moved on completely. And if TNA ever reappears she'll nuke her profile. Very concerned about the who knows what has really happened vs what we'd be told and she'd be scared to use the damn thing. She's lucky to have a black book of steadies, plus another income stream. I think there's a lot of us who would prefer to move on.

And fuck those hacker scammer blackmailers. It's all a bunch of bullshit. Don't even respond.

Never use your primary anything to do things even remotely sketchy. No emails yet and my profile has been around since 2005.

This has been a good lesson for many who got careless. Burn your internet "you" and start over. Or just don't worry about it since most of these so called blackmailers have nothing anyway.

Keep calm, carry on, and fuck her right in the pussy.

TNA Hack.

I got an email as well. I don't have Instagram or Twitter, got banned off facebook for 60 days for smart ass comments. My concern is that with my IP could they access my computer and get my banking information? They asked me for 200 in bit coin. Of course not paying.

Cheers!

They can't get your banking info unless you use the same email and password for banks.

Also, get a VPN for when you do mongering activities. I don't use STG because they're too stupid to use CloudFlare to help prevent DDoS but instead block IPs belonging to VPNs. ProtonVPN has free service if you don't want to pay for it but tends to be slow.

Again, never ever use any of your normal / regular email, phone, passwords, etc. For this activity. Essentially create a completely separate personality for this. Use a completely separate browser that is fully dedicated to this only so they can't use Facebook / Google / any social media tracking cookies to find you.

Cheers![/QUOTE]No they can not. They CAN access any site that you use the same user name and password. Hopefully nobody here is that naive. But it's worth going through and changing those on a regular basis anyhow. You can go into your user menu and see all the sites with locally stored credentials. Update all of them every few months. Same thing on your phone.

CW.

Just a thought. I'm pretty sure we don't know exactly what all has happened here and can't make a lot of assumptions based on that. I'd suspect that we are just seeing the very tip of an iceberg.

There have been lots of posts about changing your passwords and using hard-to-guess passwords. That's great and all. But I'd argue that for a throwaway account that you want to be deniable it is smarter to deliberately use a crappy password. The most important point is not to let any password manager remember your password for you, because that could tie you to the account in an inconvenient way. It also might be smart to consider sharing an account with a couple of buddies. Because again that would make things more deniable.

So, a former well known and solid provider wants to get back into the business, but in a limited services way.

She was asking me about options, since TNAB is still down.

I am not up to speed on other local options.

Can anyone else suggest a decent option for her?

Thanks.

If deniability is the main concern simply use the password manager to generate unique passwords and then store them separately from your normal logins. Do not reuse passwords. Use a burner email account for your pooning bullshit.

I would always use a throwaway account with a password manager and allow it to pick extremely long and complex passwords. I would never share that password with buddies. But each of us has to make up their own minds how secure they want their account to be. Having said that, there are now sites (good torrent sites) that actually monitor you I. E. If you do not use a good strong password and you share your pwd (I. E. Logins from different fingerprints) they will block you. Reason being the entire site is vulnerable at it's weakest link. Just my 2 cents.

If someone gains access to your account, they can quickly change all of the access information and completely take ownership. They could then take actions with that account. And then in essence "give it back" and create a situation where you become accountable for their actions. Stupid.

The one thing anyone should learn in pooning is never trust anyone. Sharing information with "buddies" is just asking for trouble at some point.

Good advice is simply to firewall your poon universe from your real universe and ensure there's absolutely no crossover. Someone should be able to burn your poon-verse to the ground and still have absolutely no way to connect that universe to you. People that get in trouble pooning are using their real phone, their real email address, slipping and providing PII to providers or other hobbyists, paying in identifiable ways, or sending PII via email or PM.

And in terms of TNA, I'll say it again: all of the information the scammers are using. Email addresses, profile information, and PMs. Are all stored clear-text by default in the vBulletin DB. I don't disagree that you should change your passwords, but the likelihood that they can connect TNA you to real you is solely based on the crash landings above. If you were using your real phone, potentially fucked. Real email, potentially fucked. Real name, likely fucked. Sending real information in PMs like addresses, totally fucked.
