In my #inbox today
---
From: Lindsay
Thank you for making it so easy for me to see that you have hacked into 3 of my very own devices throughout the year. I'm going to be holding onto all of my finds that have your name all over it and not by me because I have absolutely no reason to hack my own belongings. I will be adding this to stuff I have already for my attorney.
(plus another 40 lines of rambling in the same style)

But jokes aside, every time i talk to someone maintaining a public E-mail for some Organisation they drop stories that make me doubt humanity.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •This is strangely similar to Acme Software's Attack of the Repo Men. TL;DR: Acme makes a tiny http daemon (thttpd), some idiots in the repossession "industry" got hacked, found traces of it on a Russian forum with the data "hosted by thttpd" and all of a sudden its author starts getting threats from these idiots who just can't be reasoned with.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •hey i'm just a random curl user so feel free to ignore me but posting that email publicly makes me a bit uncomfortable. i understand getting mail and legal threats like that all the time is awful, but this person is obviously not well and it comes across completely differently than some idiot corporation thinking you owe them support.
at best we're having a laugh at the expense of their apparently severe life issues, at worst they're gonna find that post and get even more paranoid. idk.
