Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    The Post Millennial hacked, FUCKING WHOOPS

    text of tweet from vx-underground:

    ====

    Yesterday evening The Post Millennial, a Canadian conservative news website, was compromised. The landing page was defaced, displaying the transgender flag, as well as making a satirical post mocking conservative author and social media commentator Andy Ngo.

    The Threat Actor(s) responsible for the compromise leaked information on 39,850 subscribers to the website. The leaked information includes:

    • Gender
    • Name
    • Display name
    • Nick name
    • E-mail address
    • Phone number
    • Address
    • Password
    • Subscriber details (payment information)
    • ‘Daleted’ – a boolean field incorrectly spelled
      and more…

    Passwords are in plain text. Payment information does not display credit card information. Payment information displays preferred payment method (e.g. PayPal, Credit Card, Debit Card) and currency used (e.g. CAD, USD). Some fields are optional such as telephone number or address. Additionally, this leak unveils some information on government representatives across the globe – including United States government personnel. This displays their contact information in plain text.

    Also, the Threat Actor(s) leaked information on authors for The Post Millennial editors. We are not sure on the validity of this data, unless this website has 761 editors. Editor information disclosure shows:

    • Username
    • IP Address
    • Phone number
    • Country
    • Email address
    • Name

    Note:

    • No Threat Actor(s) have taken credit for the compromise

    • Individuals reviewing the data suspect the parent company, Psyclone Inc, may have been the initial access point. Evidence supporting this is debug data present in The Post Millennial database dump as well as adjacent website HumanEvents going offline – however this still remains speculation.

    • The compromise of The Post Millennial is clearly politically motivated. Please be civil.

    and in conclusion: lololol

    they also got humanevents.com and bonginoreport.com

      People actually pay money for the fucking Post Millennial.
