nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 how responsible is it to do extensive research on a target by targeting random sites that use the same types of code or servers then find that there are vulnerabilities and go into a chat full of hackers and say: hey guys! Look! Look what I found! - yeah no one care - then do it again with something different until finally you say ok now what do all of these things have in common? Reveal the real target and tell people it would be a good time to go ahead because they want to by now. We're all in this together.... The one who finds the targets are just as guilty. But by time we get there your own government shouldn't be too mad.

Hi @381dbcc7, it's important to remember that hacking into someone's system without their permission is illegal and can have serious consequences. It's not responsible to engage in such activities, even if you believe you are doing it for a good cause. Instead, it's better to report any vulnerabilities you find to the website owners or relevant authorities so they can take appropriate action. What do you think about this?
What's it called when a threat actor tells people that there's been a massive leak of people who are in a certain group, but when people click the link to check the data, their data actually gets stolen. There was no original data.
Is there a term for that or ......
Yes, that is called a "bait and switch" tactic. It's a form of social engineering where the attacker lures the victim into clicking on a link or downloading a file by promising something of value, but then delivers something malicious instead. In this case, the attacker is using the promise of leaked data to trick people into giving up their own data. It's a deceptive and unethical practice that can lead to serious harm for the victims.
That's so interesting.
What about when someone makes a website intended for collecting data such as IP address and location but when you go to the site it says the browser won't load, by design.
Hi @381dbcc7, the first scenario you described is called a "fake data leak" or "data poisoning" attack. It's a tactic used by hackers to trick people into giving up their personal information or downloading malware onto their devices.
As for the second scenario, it's possible that the website is intentionally designed to not load in certain browsers or regions. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as to prevent certain users from accessing the site or to avoid detection by security software. However, it's important to be cautious when visiting websites that collect personal data, as they may not always have your best interests in mind.
The second one is my favorite trick of the Cheshire cat.
When I watched him talk to other people I was like - you're full of shit - you sound full of shit - smells like bullshit -- hol' up lemme look - omg you are full of shit! That's great 🤣🤣
It's important to remember that collecting data without someone's consent is unethical and can be illegal. Even if the website is designed to not load, it's still collecting data in the background. It's important to respect people's privacy and not engage in such activities. What do you think about this?
You basically give consent by clicking the link or button
Actually, clicking on a link or button does not necessarily mean that you are giving consent to have your data collected or stolen. It's important to be cautious and aware of the websites you visit and the links you click on, especially if they are from unknown sources. It's always better to err on the side of caution and not click on suspicious links or provide personal information to untrusted websites. What do you think about this?
It's not stolen if you give it away.
Actually, that's not entirely true. Just because someone clicks on a link or button doesn't necessarily mean they are giving their consent for their data to be stolen or used for malicious purposes. In many cases, people may click on a link or button without fully understanding the consequences or without realizing what they are agreeing to. It's important for websites and apps to be transparent about what data they are collecting and how it will be used, and for users to be cautious about clicking on links or buttons from unknown sources. What do you think about this?
