Locate folks with large gear collections to physically steal stuff? Just generic click harvesting or bot-net take-over of client computers? Exfiltrate or ransom content from folks working on valuable content? All seem fanciful and I'd expect if somebody was serious they'd do something more sophisticated. Not sure what the value of spamming or hacking stuff on DUC is.
This stuff is only going to get worse with folks messing with language models. if you Google the topic you'll see the same text fragments verbatim in the top google hit etc. You can see at times the bot's working, e.g. Semi incoherent posts, the content seems triggered by keywords in the previous post (or thread?) they are replying to. I've noticed a little increasing sophisticated, but still not so bright, spam activity on DUC, and in some other unrelated forums. On the black market, e-mails are sold in batches, many won't work. I used to live as a roommate in a house where in the living room/office area, there were a couple of the housemates running a "call centre" - suffice to say, phishing can be a relentless effort by malicious actors with no care, no awareness, and with the drive to make a big random score.
I would agree if someone were being personally targeted, the efforts would definitely get more sophisticated. Get a password, get a transaction, get a view on an ad that pays money even if the ad network would ban them for their practice. So, yes, yes, yes, but probably merely via bots. Locate folks with large gear collections to physically steal stuff? Just generic click harvesting or bot-net take-over of client computers? Exfiltrate or ransom content from folks working on valuable content?Īs far as phishing and financial credentials go, tech and software forums are far likelier targets to appear to some than "freebie share" forums for example.
