That's it.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

There's an actual word there. Your instance is blocking it or blanking it out. Maybe you have certain words on a do not show list?

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 3 points 23 hours ago

I believe they're doing a bit

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 22 hours ago

You, friend, MUST open that Know Your Meme link and read the entire thing.

The hacker should send Trump an Epstein Island invite ... the old pedo pervert may have a stroke from it.

[–] RedRibbonArmy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Let's see some names. Time to burn these sadist pedo billionaires.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

We already have a ton of names. Nobody is getting burned.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Wag your finger too hard at them and they'll banish you to Venezuela

[–] justastranger@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Are you stupid? Do you believe that anyone should be allowed to post anything anywhere? Just because the post is about Epstein doesn't make it appropriate to post in that subreddit. And just because it was removed doesn't mean the mods removed it, let alone that they might have an Epstein-related agenda in removing it. Just look at the automod response in that deleted thread. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Well, it's Reddit. What did you expect?

[–] schwim@piefed.zip 149 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Soooooo, reading someone's password then using it is "hacking" now?

Yours,
Schwim, Master Hacker

[–] hesh@quokk.au 81 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Yeah, much of "hacking" is lamer than the movies show.

Nobody hacked anything

People found account credentials and tried using them. Nothing nhogh tech here

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Many hackers agree that the best way to hack someone is through social engineering to just have them tell you your password.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My favorite is when this security researcher showed on camera how she did it. She took out her laptop and pulled up a soundboard. She pretended to be mom with a crying baby, and begged the customer support to change her account email and reset her password. When they did try to ask for some verification, she played the baby crying sound effects louder. Feeling bad for her, they did what she asked and she "hacked" into the account.

Hacking is very wide and can include things like this. It does not have to be as technical, hard or clever as most gatekeep it to be.

ex. password stuffing brute force is hacking

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Plugging somebody's nipples on a car battery can be hacking.

[–] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Unauthorized access to a computer system is hacking. It's trespassing.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (38 children)

Its technically hacking due to it not being your account. Unauthorized access.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something because no one here has mentioned the obvious:

Did we acquire the full unredacted set of his emails ?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 15 points 2 days ago

From what I remember, the guy said that not much was left and most of the emails were deleted

[–] ubersolver@lemmy.world 69 points 2 days ago

Seriously, wouldn't this be kind of huge news if we suddenly had access to the evidence they tried to hide? Too bad this is a news article and someone probably changed the password by now.

[–] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's no news on it and I have to assume it's because if that is the full unredacted email there's probably a ton of CSAM. If so it's technically illegal to own and anyone who is downloading it might be opening themselves up to arrest or legal challenges, even if they're a journalist.

I would presume IF this is a full release of the Epstein GMail account, and IF it's not a honeypot op of some kind from CIA/IDF/SVR/whoever, and IF it's legit... then this is big. Nearly all American news orgs have been gutted though, and I doubt any billionaire that owns the news orgs would be ok with having their wealthy cohort exposed.

Whoever might be investigating this would almost certainly keep quiet until all of their ducks are in a row because the second they publish, they're going to be arrested for CSAM. Unless they're in a country with no extradition treaty with the US. And even then they'll be subject to extraordinary rendition cause Trump don't care about US law, why would the lack of an extradition treaty stop him?

[–] ubersolver@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's ridiculous that evidence of the crimes they committed is going to be used to arrest anyone who tries to uncover evidence of who committed those crimes. By ridiculous I don't mean I don't think it will happen. I think you are right about that.

I mean, I know there are some people who would definitely do the wrong thing and that's why it needed to be released carefully to avoid this kind of mess and why normally this kind of digging would be done by the government or trusted investigators, but it's troublesome because the established power structure (regardless of party) are some of the same people who committed these crimes and we clearly can't trust them to do the right thing.

remember the windows 7 activation key?

So every other child rapist's name gets redacted but they can't even do a scan for passwords?
