    That's $3.9 too steep for some

  • I think I also need a bit of time away from "in front of the computer", so I'm going to decompress for a bit (in front of a different computer, but on the sofa).

    Fave fun!

    Of course not @FAT32 has threatened giveaway testing, I'll still be checking in...

    Was waiting for that flash deal and have now joined you in the fight.

    Let me tell you a story of why you want to be on the front lines with MXroute.

    So there's this phishing campaign (I'm using phishing loosely here, just go with it) going around that actually uses PayPal to make money requests, and for some reason they use Office 365 accounts (stolen or disposable, could be both) and set up forwarders to you, then send themselves a PayPal request that gets forwarded to you. No idea why they do it this way, like people are going to block PayPal but not O365? Anyway, not as important.

    Blocking these has been difficult because one can neither block legitimate PayPal emails, nor can one block email forwarders from Office 365. However, we were able to block these without any consequences, without hitting any desirable email. After doing that, I discovered what appeared (to me) to be the person managing these phishing attacks on our platform, using us as kind of a base of operations for these. Upon kindly asking the user to explain, telling them what it looked an awful lot like to me, their response was one that heavily implied they knew they were about to be terminated and really didn't care what I thought about it. So, of course, user terminated.

    After that, some interesting things happened:

    A user uploaded child porn to files.freesocial.co (no longer active) and reported it to Hetzner.
    The phishing campaign changed techniques, started breaking through again.
    So I deployed a new rule that totally blocked the new campaign, once again with no casualties other than that which was intended. Minutes later, someone ramped up a spam registration/password reset campaign to DDOS my inbox. I mentioned casually in our Discord that this was pretty funny, something I deal with often, and that I have a script which just handles it for me in the background so I really don't care. Minutes later, far earlier than any of these attacks ever had before, the inbound email flood halted. Shortly after that, the PayPal phishing campaigns stopped hitting our servers.

    Now we're not the only ones noticing the PayPal/O365 phishing thing, not by a long shot. But from where I sit it looks to me like the threat actor involved with it takes great interest in MXroute and her customers.

    So why would that interest you? Because MXroute is on the front lines of pissing off the people who are trying to ruin email every day. It's us vs them, and they don't like that we're getting better at it every day. I'm not asking you to buy me a new house, I don't want to be rich. I just want all of us together as an unstoppable force against the worst of the internet. Join me?
