Here’s a bit of USPOL crossover: https://twitter.com/officialHJesus/status/1283502856025387008 There’s also a video going around of Carole Baskin from Tiger King wishing a happy birthday to Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile.

Trying to remember where I heard someone wish a radio message for "Best Parents in the World" dedicated to Fred and Rose West, and another for their hardworking GP uncle, Harold Shipmann. [e]: Might be thinking of that then (could have sworn it was a radio message but whatevs can't trust my memory lol) VVV Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jul 16, 2020 |

Someone definitely got Trump to retweet pictures of the Wests (and I think Shipman as well) by saying t they were big supporters

There's something about getting celebs to give shout-outs to horrific people that bugs me. It seems like a lazy way to get a cheap laugh, but I think some of it stems from the fact that most of them are recent and their victims are still alive. I imagine Jimmy Savile's victims, who were disbelieved for years, seeing online that they're being used as a prop in a practical joke, or the parents of one of Fred West's victims listening to the radio and hearing a cheery 'Happy Father's Day' message broadcast for the man who raped and murdered their daughter. There's a thoughtless cruelty about the most devastating moment in their life being used as the set-up for someone else's amusement. But maybe I'm being a delicate little snowflake.

As I recall the deadbeef thing was something I posted in response to someone tweeting #democracyisdead and deadbeef is just the number 3735928559 rendered in hexadecimal, which spells a word, hence it used to get used by computer nerds. Like typing 5318008 on a calculator except requiring slightly more technical knowledge. It's probably a very 80's/90's thing though.

Has there been an explanation for what happened with the whole Twitter back yet? The amount of dickheads replying saying "this looks like a nation state job" and "hmmm didn't touch trunk" reminded me why I ditched that loving service. My guess would be there was no security hack. Either an employee got fired and tried to have one last pop, or someone found an exploit to send messages as anyone via API/SMS/whatever Edit: I just googled, probably should have done that first. OH WELL

The only private equity shorting I think I’ve ever agreed with in terms of ‘end justifying means’ is the time a firm found out you could hack wireless pacemakers and proved it

Not to get too conspiracy theory sounding, but from reading some news reports it sounds like a group paid someone in Twitter to access employees tools to do the hack. (I can't profess to understand the science but I believe that they reset the email accounts associated with the accounts so they could then get around passwords.) But that being said consider this at a basic level. To pay off someone in Twitter, a group would need some amount of money to do so. And even doing that, quite a bit of planning after that would still have to go into how to change accounts, passwords, 2 Factor authentication and setting up Bitcoin accounts. People who do they aren't going to all that effort to make back their money with a Bit Coin scam. (Which supposedly still pulled in $12K.) Like obviously the smart play is to do nothing to call attention to yourself and monitor the Twitter accounts if the worlds most powerful people. But at the same time, my gut instinct says that whomever pulled this off would want more than just embarrassing Twitter. They almost certainly are going to at least claim to have the DM's of the people who have been hacked.

There's other sources saying it pulled in 11BTC, which might be $12k or $50m depending on the time of day, but is about $100k at the moment.

Two options there for me: one is that they're just that stupid. Two is that they got all the blackmail material they could possibly want and are just giving twitter the finger on the way out. One is much more likely; it wouldn't take a huge amount of money to buy off a twitter employee, it's not like they're gonna be paid well, and IIRC this scam has already generated a hundred thousand bucks or so? The most likely perpetrators are the kind of people who use ransomware to demand btc to unlock the computers of people who click on porn ads, or whatever, they probably don't give much of a poo poo about blackmailing a president versus getting a hunddred grand right now.

When I was programming for consoles, we'd fill uninitialised memory with 0xDEADBEEF if the game was running in debug mode. Then when you got an inevitable bug due to some part of the program reading from memory it shouldn't have been, the bug was really obvious as soon as you looked at the memory view.
