Hm. Over at the facesite I commented on a post about #bruteforce attacks on a commercial network product with a link to https://nxdomain.no/~peter/badness_enumerated_by_robots.html, and got a followup asking whether I have bruteforce protection "in front of" my ssh servers.

And this only hours after I scared the cat by LOL from seeing that the #pop3gropers are actively trying the local parts of my freshly random spamtraps (see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html a bit down the page). #passwordgroping #cybercrime

Landlords are demanding potential tenants hand over employer login credentials so a tool can verify their income. We were sent screenshot of the tool, Argyle, downloading much more data than necessary to approve the renter. "Opt-out means no housing"

Landlords Demand Tenants’ Workplace Logins to Scrape Their Paystubs

Screenshots shared with 404 Media show tenant screening services ApproveShield and Argyle taking much more data than they need. “Opt-out means no housing.”

Correct me if I'm wrong, US #lawfedi, but I'm pretty sure @404mediaco is right that every case of of the landlords accessing the (prospective) tenants' workplace logins is a #CFAA violation, because employees are not legally entitled to authorize the landlord to log into the employers' systems, so the landlords are exceeding their authorized access.

Have you been wondering why the list of imaginary friends at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml has been expanding quicker than usual this week?

It's because I found another batch of old logs that are now getting the more thorough treatment (also see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html or tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html) #spamd #greytrapping #spam #cybercrime #openbsd

It seems that adding the second, third and fourth entries in raw list at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml has not dissuaded any consumers of that list.

Perhaps they don't read their data at all?

I hear crytpotulip based phishing scams are still a thing, so reprising "Your 'Forgotten' Blockchain Account Needing Reactivation? It's a Scam" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/forgotten_blockchain_account_scam.html from 2022 might be useful to some #crypto #cryptocurrency #cryptotulips #phishing #scam #cybercrime #fraud

It's heartwarming to a greying geek that a 5000+ words retrospective on greytrapping is turning out to be popular - https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html (tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html)
