Could've been a lone maga wolf with good intentions and bad/basic execution, or it could've been an anarchist trying to rile people up. Either way it's fun to see.
Yeah. Sorry gotta get in the habit of checking this more than once a week 😕 but yeah I researched it. Good on Trump, hope he goes after NetEase too. Bungie banned me again for 'evasion' even though I was being absolutely mobbed by trolls. Fuck them, the only reason I still play Bungie is my mom loves it and it's among the few things we can do together where we don't fight endlessly. We hardly get along but she's thus far the only woman in my life who's stuck it out for me when most everyone else turned tail and ran.
Think of how incredible it is that millions of us are literally just chilling, not out civil-warring against the commies, in order to not fuck up the optics of our 2nd term strike in November
Nobody said to do it, we just kinda know to be cool unless hit with a estro-latte or some shit and even then we have the body cams and the fast hands 😂
Keeping the liberal outrage mob angry for 4 years straight has been one of their goals. They want their own supporters to shut down their own ability to think, because if they think then they might examine the narrative and find it lacking.
they still constantly bring up the_donald, some don't even realize it was banned, they've always needed an enemy to get them riled up, and since we ain't thete they gotta fake it
If you walked out to your car and found it was plastered with Ke$ha posters circa 2009 to the point you could not open your car door easily or see out your windshield, what is your initial impression of Ke$ha? It is positive? Does it spin you right round, baby, right round? Like a record baby?
2009 Kesha was great. Much better than today's Kesha. She has some legitimately bad songs (boots and boys, dinosaur party at a rich dudes house) but there are some good ones that outweigh them.
I'm probably one of the few people here who prefer pop music
Exactly. Look at the Twitter post claiming responsibility using MIGA instead of MAGA. That is how anti-semitic 4chan users often disparagingly refer to Trump supporters. This was not done by any pede.
Wait a sec. If anyone remembers, that is exactly what happened w/ the DNC emails I think, that were hacked. I can't remember all the details. I think Guccifer2 tried to pretend he was Romanian, or maybe it was one of the Cozy Bears . . . but whomever said he hacked the, I believe DNC emails, faked that his English wasn't perfect, to throw everyone off as to who hacked the emails. A real Romanian-speaking person had a look at what he wrote tho, determined that a Romanian speaking person would not have made the types of mistakes like the hacker did, and whoever did it was faking being Romanian. Turned out it was hacked on the East Coast somewhere, they had a name, but I don't recall them ever going to speak to the person they found was probably at least knowledgeable abt what really happened.
So maybe "they" are doing the same here? Maybe it was an American, who faked a Chinese "accent" at the request of "somebody", as a false flag type attack, so they could blame it on Trump supporters and do whatever they are going to do next to conservatives? DDOS attacks, continue to ban any Trump-supporting subs on Reddit if there are any still, or other sites, or the conservative voice generally? IDK, but this has me wondering now.
Everytime anything brings attention to the Left, I'm wondering. Right now I'm wondering who the DNC will trot out in place of Biden at the last moment as their nominee when the old man shits his pants on national television and blames it on a reporter.
I hear you. I'm seriously wondering if he's going to have a stroke, etc. and "die in his sleep". Or any number of similar things could happen. They might have been able to keep him on the DL and been able to hide him, but now . . . he can't go on making these gigantic errors every time they produce him for 5 min. Seems like it's getting too hard to explain and pretzel logic what he said this time to death, and insist he really was correct and made sense and did nothing wrong at all.
The Reddit security team said the hack took place after the intruder(s) took over subreddit moderator accounts. Several moderators have also come forward to admit that their accounts have been hacked and that they did not use two-factor authentication.
Accounts that had 2FA enabled were hacked on twitter. The Twitter hacker used social engineering to get twitter employees to temporarily change the email addresses of each account.
The 2nd Authenticator (meaning the email that is received upon logging on) was redirected to the hackers email. I'm unsure if he did this will all the accounts, or even if that was all he did.. I'm sure there were more steps, but that was the general idea. The point is that 2FA isn't unbeatable.
When did they change what social engineering means? I'm not convinced they did but you and Tim Pool use it the same way. You guys seem to use it as a stand in for catfishing when no romance is involved. It used to mean brainwashing people subliminally.
Hey man you asked when it changed and I answered from my experience that it's been awhile. You don't have to like it but to be able to properly communicate with others you have to accept that you're not a gatekeeper on words either. Use it(or don't) however you want. That's freedom baby!
Twitter was actually somewhat legitimately hacked.
They got an insider to give them access to the admin control panel and then started changing the email addresses of checkmarks so they could request a password change.
But then that makes me wonder how they got into accounts that had 2-factor authentication.
I read somewhere the compromised mod accounts on Twitter had two factor authentication set up, but had chosen 2FA via SMS.
I am not an expert. But, IMO, any authentication methodology that utilizes such insecure protocols to deliver information is inherently flawed.
I have always felt that way about 2FA via SMS though.
I use an app on my phone that gives me rolling codes for all my sites. Highly recommend using one.
If you go this route, pay no mind to the type of 2FA app the site recommends, or outright says you need to use. You don't need to use Google of Microsoft's authenticator. If you see a QR code to add 2FA to your account, your authentication app will most likely work, IME.
I use AndOTP for Android but am looking to switch to an open source option I watched The Hated One on YT mention the other day. Not sure which one it was but if you are looking to stay anonymous online and secure you'd be well served to watch a few of his most-watched videos. The guy is sage and brings the goods.
"A massive hack has hit Reddit today after tens of Reddit channels have been hacked and defaced to show messages in support of Donald Trump's reelection campaign."
The first comment in the whole thread that is actually logical and it's half way down the comment chain with only 5 upvotes. You are absolutely right it's a fucking set up. Just read the nonsense they wrote in the screenshot from r/Disneyland. (Paraphrased) "If you don't vote for Donald Trump blacks are going to come to your house and murder you".
In some ways this could be a false flag done to provide ammo for more banning of Trump on Reddit. Maybe even the same crowd who are DDOSing The Donald.
Oh but we need big computer words for when someone uses their cat's name as their mod password on reddit and someone guesses it. Can't call it guessing or stealing, it's gotta be HACKING because that sounds cool and mysterious to retards.
I think the proper term is Cracking. A hack is a non-commercial program. People advising you what to type into Notepad, save it as a .exe, then run it in order to stop Cortana or something, that's a hack. See: Life-hacks, cooking hacks. It's a process not being sold commerically, often a computer process but not always. Breaking into things, that's cracking.
It's a Chinese set up. They're talking the way they THINK Trump supporters talk, saying the kind of things they IMAGINE Trump supporters would say. It's a total fucking scam. I don't know what their angle is but they're dirty fucking communists and can NOT be trusted.
It's definitely a false flag either from the chance or somebody else trying to go and say that Russians are hacking things again and trying to sway the election. I really don't understand how defacing a bunch of subreddits will go and sway anybody's opinion on the election unless people are that fragile that they actually think Trump's campaign is out there pushing people to go and deface subreddits
Hahahahaha hahahahaha god I love it. Is it weird that I like Putin and the Russians a lot? Basically I find that whomever the libs hate, I kinda love. The Russian Orthodox way of life is beautiful to me, and it gives me hope for the future.
anarchist false flag alert
NSA probably fucking with Tencent's property, kek.
self sabatoge?
Cold war with China is almost boiling, literally anything could be possible at this point.
Given leftist behavior its been their favorite play, historically.
Underrated comment of the thread.
They cry out in pain, as they strike you.
hey i didnt say it
It's either the ChiComs, or /pol.
This sort of attack isn't our MO... Not enough Burritos.
It's the Chicoms, the messages are written by someone who doesn't speak english.
How yu kno that?
sum ting wong
Bang Ding Ow
U No Dat 2?
you think the neckbeards at /pol/ can speak English?
remember, it's called weaponized autism for a reason kek
You know who else doesn't speak English? Bears.
Yeah our attacks are either dank memes or one of our berserkers in real life laying a beat down on some commies.
It's not Pol.
Agree. Pol would do something funny.
/pol/, have done many wrong things, but always had a specific level of style to it. Spamming engrish doesn't seem very /pol/-like. Not even /b/-like.
Could've been a lone maga wolf with good intentions and bad/basic execution, or it could've been an anarchist trying to rile people up. Either way it's fun to see.
I just figured one of you shit posters got drunk and went on a rampage.
To be honest, I only go there for the porn.
Tencent ban? What happened? Got a link so I can read up on it?
Did you figure it out yet?
Yeah. Sorry gotta get in the habit of checking this more than once a week 😕 but yeah I researched it. Good on Trump, hope he goes after NetEase too. Bungie banned me again for 'evasion' even though I was being absolutely mobbed by trolls. Fuck them, the only reason I still play Bungie is my mom loves it and it's among the few things we can do together where we don't fight endlessly. We hardly get along but she's thus far the only woman in my life who's stuck it out for me when most everyone else turned tail and ran.
The things we do for the people we love right?
We don't. It's their own team doing it so they can blame us.
This exactly
Think of how incredible it is that millions of us are literally just chilling, not out civil-warring against the commies, in order to not fuck up the optics of our 2nd term strike in November
Nobody said to do it, we just kinda know to be cool unless hit with a estro-latte or some shit and even then we have the body cams and the fast hands 😂
Exactly,,, but man I’m SO READY to be out civil warring. It’s like my grandfather was warning me about this moment since I was old enough to crawl.
I JUST sent out my rifle for repairs. No civil war 2 yet please, i dont want to be caught with my pants down.
You only have one rifle......?? Broooo
Sometimes, a lot of times, actually, I feel that way because there’s about 5000 compelling reasons to do it
In reality I think it would suck a lot and take a long time
It’s mostly not fun tbh
Keeping the liberal outrage mob angry for 4 years straight has been one of their goals. They want their own supporters to shut down their own ability to think, because if they think then they might examine the narrative and find it lacking.
You're absolutely correct. They're pissing in the wind.
they still constantly bring up the_donald, some don't even realize it was banned, they've always needed an enemy to get them riled up, and since we ain't thete they gotta fake it
What? I thought I was the Russian bot...
☹
I am Spartacu ... wait, I am Vlad
Greetings comrade. Bleep bleep bloop.
This 👍
We don't downvote aimlessly here, which is why it's extremely easy to spot when a pissed liberal has been through the comments.
How many people still believe the MSM?
It's called a false flag, claim we attacked their site, the news pushing a narrative leftist are told they are under attack by white privilege.
I don't downvote anyone, much less for their opinions, and especially questions. That would make no sense.
If you walked out to your car and found it was plastered with Ke$ha posters circa 2009 to the point you could not open your car door easily or see out your windshield, what is your initial impression of Ke$ha? It is positive? Does it spin you right round, baby, right round? Like a record baby?

I'm probably one of the few people here who prefer pop music
TikTok
Bring back Mueller
Well that's dumb at if true... Cause who but the most left-wing TDS people would even care. Lol
It seems they would have figured that out by now, but they seem to be stuck in that self-destructive pattern.
I’m still asking why we should care
That was answered in my first statement.
It's always more fun when the anarchists and the progressives are fucking each other up - pass the popcorn.
Like watching runny shit dripping through a rusty screen. I’ll make the popcorn!
Ew
Reddit is now irrelevant. No one cares.
Man, it feels good to have so much less censorship.
Because the messages are hurf durf "this is what a trump supporter looks like"
Exactly. Look at the Twitter post claiming responsibility using MIGA instead of MAGA. That is how anti-semitic 4chan users often disparagingly refer to Trump supporters. This was not done by any pede.
You need to go to the top.
This isn't our MO but it is definitely /pol's
MIGA used to be frequently employed by ShareBlue shills and probably still is.
It's probably Hong Kong dissidents doing it.
Maybe if Big Tech wasn't a tiiiiiny number of leftwing activist morons, no 'Supermods' would be in charge of 91 different subs in the first place.
Hacking...the ONLY way to get a pro Trump message on to Reddit. Looks like a peaceful protest to me.
Sad but true.
Are the lib-cunts of reddit not themselves walking, talking Trump ads?
Lol pretty sure Spez did this himself.
I moved to saidit.net for all my non-MAGA needs. Also, username...
DDOS INCOMING!
FUCK THE LEFT!
For sure. They probably did it, to justify (as if they felt they needed justification) a weekend of DDOS attacks here.
It's just pathetic. It's pretty evident the Chicomms did this, the text is clearly not created by an English speaker.
Wait a sec. If anyone remembers, that is exactly what happened w/ the DNC emails I think, that were hacked. I can't remember all the details. I think Guccifer2 tried to pretend he was Romanian, or maybe it was one of the Cozy Bears . . . but whomever said he hacked the, I believe DNC emails, faked that his English wasn't perfect, to throw everyone off as to who hacked the emails.

Beta hackers DDOS, Alpha hackers deface.
Well, guess it's time to help an AI learn to identify umbrellas and trains once more.
Couldn't happen to a shittier shithole.
But lots of hurt feelings and confused NPCs
Not defacing - improving.
Looks pretty good to me!
Fuck reddit.
This is the way. Reddit is China asshoe.
no please, make it stop
Isn't this the same way twitter was hacked?
For increased security, all passwords have been upgraded to [email protected]
Accounts that had 2FA enabled were hacked on twitter. The Twitter hacker used social engineering to get twitter employees to temporarily change the email addresses of each account.
Wait a minute.
How does just an e-mail change let them get past 2-factor authentication?
The 2nd Authenticator (meaning the email that is received upon logging on) was redirected to the hackers email. I'm unsure if he did this will all the accounts, or even if that was all he did.. I'm sure there were more steps, but that was the general idea. The point is that 2FA isn't unbeatable.
When did they change what social engineering means? I'm not convinced they did but you and Tim Pool use it the same way. You guys seem to use it as a stand in for catfishing when no romance is involved. It used to mean brainwashing people subliminally.
It's been used this way for years to describe manipulating passwords out of people. Like at least as far back as early 2000s.
And 'racism' has been used just as long to describe a color blind meritocracy, that doesn't make it correct.
Hey man you asked when it changed and I answered from my experience that it's been awhile. You don't have to like it but to be able to properly communicate with others you have to accept that you're not a gatekeeper on words either. Use it(or don't) however you want. That's freedom baby!
Fair enough on the first point, die in a fire on the rest.
Well that's a bit uncalled for but express yourself however you like.
and the DNC...lol
Twitter was actually somewhat legitimately hacked.
They got an insider to give them access to the admin control panel and then started changing the email addresses of checkmarks so they could request a password change.

Defacing? No no, it's a mural.
De Blasio probably approved of this without having filing a permit
As soon as I found out about this I went over to the nfl sub
“Honk honk”
Banned. Lol
RUSSIANS
It has to be Russian bots! The corporate tech giant social media censors tell us so.
Дыши со стороны дороги
Those slippery Cossack sluts.
The reeee’s are glorious.
some would call it a mural
"Defacing the debased" has a nice ring to it.
So... Restoring.
(Consults Alinsky, hands out cans of spray paint)
This isn't vandalism, this is FREE SPEECH!
Many people think Mr 4chan is a basement dwelling nerd, but I have confirmation from the best sources that this is in fact Mr 4chan
Identity of the shooter—ahem—I mean hacker, confirmed.
He can't keep getting away with this!
It isn't Pol.
"Defacing"
Takes a couple key stokes to remove a background image faggots. It's not like this is a federal court about to get burned down.
Half baked. They didn't deface /r/Politics. So yea, false flag.
Yeah if any of us were after Reddit that would be our goto
EXACTLY.
Defaced??? I beg your pardon.
Welp.
That's too bad.
You mean installing murals?
I like the way you think.
"A massive hack has hit Reddit today after tens of Reddit channels have been hacked and defaced to show messages in support of Donald Trump's reelection campaign."
TENS OF CHANNELS. TENS
I hate when people say tens. Why not dozens? Does their vocabulary suffer that much? Some journalists. Dozens just sounds way better.
If you're going to ditch "dozens" and go metric, the proper term is "decapeople".
They are setting us up...
The first comment in the whole thread that is actually logical and it's half way down the comment chain with only 5 upvotes. You are absolutely right it's a fucking set up. Just read the nonsense they wrote in the screenshot from r/Disneyland. (Paraphrased) "If you don't vote for Donald Trump blacks are going to come to your house and murder you".
Upgrading Reddit
Glorious.
The NFL one's hilarious.. they are trying so hard to paint theirselves as victim's it's beyond punchdrunk. "WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO US!"
What's on r/NFL some Bubba Wallace nooses ?
Not a hack, just subs moderated by pro-trumpers
In some ways this could be a false flag done to provide ammo for more banning of Trump on Reddit. Maybe even the same crowd who are DDOSing The Donald.
Stop hitting me !! Reeeeeee!!
They weren’t even hacked. Just got in as a mod and changed the back ground.
Oh but we need big computer words for when someone uses their cat's name as their mod password on reddit and someone guesses it. Can't call it guessing or stealing, it's gotta be HACKING because that sounds cool and mysterious to retards.

“defacing”
Meanwhile defacing statues and tearing them down is reported as “peaceful protest”.
It's a Chinese set up. They're talking the way they THINK Trump supporters talk, saying the kind of things they IMAGINE Trump supporters would say. It's a total fucking scam. I don't know what their angle is but they're dirty fucking communists and can NOT be trusted.
I bet that would legit cause suicides from the triggering
Inside job. Someone within Reddit is based and sick of their bullshit.
Yeah, if one us had done it we'd have posted memes about spez and/or biden. Low energy, very obviously not one of us.
Anyone notice the message on Twatter states "MIGA".
This attack is from India soil, as India is strongly pro Trump.
This is one of the posts left in the Celtics sub. It's hilarious! http://removeddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/i5eltu/we_stand_with_donald_trump_miga2020/
What the fuck? I am so confused.
It's definitely a false flag either from the chance or somebody else trying to go and say that Russians are hacking things again and trying to sway the election. I really don't understand how defacing a bunch of subreddits will go and sway anybody's opinion on the election unless people are that fragile that they actually think Trump's campaign is out there pushing people to go and deface subreddits
I think they mean enriching reddit with diversity. Isn't that how it works?
You love to fucking see it.
Hahahahaha hahahahaha god I love it. Is it weird that I like Putin and the Russians a lot? Basically I find that whomever the libs hate, I kinda love. The Russian Orthodox way of life is beautiful to me, and it gives me hope for the future.
Lots of Christians still in Russia. Now you know why the communists have to keep us divided.
i dont understand why we are supposed to hate russia. they act like being allies with russia is evil
Regardless of who did it, I don't think those channels were defaced...they were obviously greatly enhanced and made BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Bigly!
That was my thought too, haha.
FUCKING AWESOME. BANG DING OW THE COMMIE BASTARDS WHERE IT HURTS!
I think you mean decorating.
Fuck Reddit
