Discord messages may be sold through a scraping service


Recommended Posts

  Quote

Joseph Cox at 404 Media confirmed that Spy Pet, a service that sells access to a database of purportedly 3 billion Discord messages, offers data "credits" to customers who pay in bitcoin, ethereum, or other cryptocurrency. Searching individual users will reveal the servers that Spy Pet can track them across, a raw and exportable table of their messages, and connected accounts, such as GitHub.

Discord has always been a spy program.  From the beginning they emphasized how secure their end to end encryption is.  Yet at the same time they tell everyone what you are doing and track your program use.  You can tell them not to tell everyone, but they never stop tracking your program use. 

 

Blame Warthunder, it's been responsible for 9 leaked documents in 2023 alone.  Officials have talked about how discord has flown under the radar.  So there's a demand for access to messages.  It's a national security demand.  Suddenly we have this.

Nothing would please me more.  Maybe just adding a simple old school teamspeak server with the IRC for chat. 🙂  

Actually yes please, could we all switch back to that instead of discord?  🤣

I love IRC. I believe that if the iphone hadn't been created mid 2000's that IRC might still be popular today... 

 

I mean, coming from ICQ, AIM, etc... i yearn for the old style BBS messaging systems. Kinda like answering machines. 

 

Oh, you called? Must've missed it. Oh, you texted? Sorry, forgot my phone has been on permanent DND because while I love connecting via voice and text with family and friends, I'm tired of being called by robots, spammers, scammers, and polling bureaus. 

 

I'm not asking for 1988 and Gremlins back.. but... I think it's still fine not knowing where people are 24/7. Or getting ahold of them.

 

SLOW DOWN EVERYONE. THE SUN STILL COMES UP EVERY DAY. 

 

for now...

I still have a dumb phone.  Only changed from it last year to a Pixel 4xl.  Kind of thinking of going back to the dumb phone, I literally don't even use the smart phone lol.  It's connected to my router as a backup internet source, that's about it.  I get phone calls sometimes.  I can do the same things with a dumb phone.  🤣  I might pop my sim card into my dumb phone again.  Sigh.

True, but I think the blame really should be attributed to the idiots who shared classified information. While we probably can't be absolutely sure any of those people did so with harmful intent, their punishment should fit the crime.

 

As for Spy-Pet itself, I can't help but wonder if its existence is more attributed to profit-taking than most anything else. Seems to happen quite a bit these days. For example, during the pandemic, existing clients of mine in search of profiting off the situation had me scrambling to put together a web site that they could use as wholesalers of protective medical gear. I got them started, but eventually dropped them because as people started getting seriously ill and dying everywhere, I really didn't want nor need that kind of money.

 

That's just one example; and I'm not the only one who's acutely aware that a lot of people are in a hurry to get as rich as they can these days (not necessarily a bad thing, mind you), but those certainly are the times we live in now, as we have in the past; it's more or less our nature and the way we've been for centuries, to varying degrees, and for varying reasons.

 

...whether altruistic, or not.

Well when people get annoyed/bored enough at Discords ways, we can always move to onsite chat, fortunately there is already a well put together solution for this platform : 

IPSAPPZONE.COM

Coded with ♥ Chatbox+ is an application that uses Ajax calls to the server to get new messages. Supports room chat, club chat and the private one-2-one chat. The chat boxes can display in widget, new...

Man I don't know, Teamspeak always sucked when I used it for MMO/guild stuff back in the day.

I actually would love nothing more than to see dedicated server options return, and yes that's for our voice comms too.
