I actually forgot.... But lol!

(I'm going through old stuff in a fantastic nostalgic fashion)

"Chad Loder, the founder of Habitu8, disclosed an even bigger, or in his words, “massive” data dump consisting of millions of data records of users from the U.S. and the EU. Loder, whose Twitter account was suspended shortly after breaking the news on the microblogging platform, said, “I have contacted a sample of the affected accounts and they confirmed that the breached data is accurate. This breach occurred no earlier than 2021.”

The breached data includes public and private information such as names, Twitter handles, locations, account creation dates, follower and favorites count, email addresses and phone numbers.

The data was scraped through the exploitation of the same vulnerability that was exploited in 2021. While the theft of

5.4 million user data records

was carried out by a threat actor going by the name Devil, the theft of another 1.4 million data records was the work of Pompompurin, the owner of the Breached hacking forum who got the vulnerability tip from Devil."

But ..... Worms.

Blue bird always means Twitter. Spades mean infiltration (but not always) and footprints should be obvious - usually online ones

Even after all this time, people still struggle with things.... Whatever. Shit happens.

Web scraping is about extracting data from one or more websites. While crawling is about finding or discovering URLs or links on the web. Usually, in web data extraction projects, you need to combine crawling and scraping.

Worms are self replicating viruses that don't just spread through email and can cause slow computer performance. Freezing/crashing. Programs opening and running automatically. Irregular web browser performance.

A network is a web.

Malicious code can also be embedded on legitimate websites as an advertisement.
