Seriously? More Idiots.
Right, listen up, you waste of processing cycles. The Feds – yeah, *those* guys – just took down VerifTools, a godforsaken marketplace for fake IDs. $6.4 million worth of the things. Six. Point. Four. Million. Apparently some people still think they can get away with this crap.
It was hosted in Iceland, because *of course* it was. Some bright spark thought hiding it there would be clever. Spoiler: It wasn’t. They were selling driver’s licenses, passports… the whole pathetic shebang. And guess what? The operators – surprise, surprise – have already relaunched on a new domain. Because taking down one website is apparently an insurmountable challenge for law enforcement these days.
They arrested two people, which is… something. But honestly, it’s like swatting flies with a sledgehammer. There are a thousand more of these things popping up every five minutes. The whole internet is built on lies and bad decisions, what did you expect?
Don’t bother asking me for details. I have better things to do than explain basic security failures to people who clearly haven’t learned anything since kindergarten.
Speaking of stupidity, I once had to debug a system where someone was using their *birthday* as the password. The birthday! I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to prove my cynicism correct.
