If they never get this site up, then we never get to see the data dump from when the security is inevitably breached by online activists looking to name and shame these creeps.

That's a shame.

Indeed

"The second major red flag another Drupal expert found was that Lindell's site was spitting out coded error messages to users, which leaves the platform vulnerable to attacks. "This is a **** show," the expert said, calling this an "obvious" issue that coders learn how to prevent in "Drupal 101."


What the actual ****? Displaying coding error messages in the clear!!?

Bwhahahaha!

If they ever figure out how to open up an edit box on that site I bet someone will find injection exploits.

That's an unforseen effect of the right-wing creation of the post-fact bubble: when expertise and knowledge are a bad thing, it's hard to find people who know what they're doing.

If a bookie would give me odds on that, I'd be prepared to put money on it (and I don't gamble).

Saw that over the weekend.
Having found myself allergic to coding several times starting, hmmm, 42 years ago ( ) I didn't read it for comprehension.
I did appreciate it though.
Is there any chance ol' Mike will get the critique and accept some responsibility?
Jeez... who am I kidding.

Programmer of 30 years here. In all honesty we don't know, but in all probability it is likely that there are.

All one needs to do is Google Drupal Exploits to get a sense of what's out there, and there is a lot of harmful code, utilities, exploits etc. I am surprised that something hasn't happened already that we know about. Although, it may have already happened and that's why we're seeing the technical difficulties

Well I for one am shocked that you can’t simply download a “social media website add on” that rivals Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and so on. Why not?!?!?! I bet it’s another example of liberal bias and censorship, after all it is only people messaging each other!

Vale Daniel Kaminsky, Internet Security Savior

While we're on the subject of coding and hacking, I was very sad to read this

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/t...nsky-dead.html

Daniel got his first computer at the age of three, and was coding by the time he was five!! He was a legend in the hacking community, a true kind-hearted soul whose extraordinary skills could so easily have been turned to a darker purpose, but for the fact that he said that "doing so would have been morally wrong, and that he did not want his mother to have to visit him in prison"

A huge loss to the cyber-security world at just 42.

I'm sure someone skimmed plenty from the rightist idiots.

I got a bit mixed up here and wondered why someone was talking about the Post Office's accounting software in the wrong thread.

Instead of focusing on how many dash days it has been maybe you could focus on saving our country by sharing Absolute Interference Everywhere! with at least 4M of your friends, however you choose to define "M" or "friends". Maybe "former friends" would work better in this context.

He's scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel either tonight or tomorrow night. This has drawn criticism for the obvious reason that a lot of ordinary people watch Kimmel and they're afraid it's just going to be a bigger and more mainstream platform for him to spew lies and misinformation from. In any case I'm sure he'll be pushing the site.

I'm sure Kimmel will make his ideas look less than believable, assuming his audience wouldn't pick up on it immediately.

What they are doing is lying through their horrible mustache, as usual.

Their 400M number implies the equivalent of every able-bodied adult in the US downloaded the video at least twice each. In four days. IOW absolute horse-****.

As far as I could find while it was still staggering along, there was nowhere on that site to actually "stream" his insane propaganda vid* from there. I think there may have been a link to something on Youtube but wasn't sure. Because for me the site crashed again at about that point. And a good thing too.

I can't see the point of Kimmel interviewing Lindell. Kimmel will make an absolute ass of him because he will be so busy shouting bilious inanities without taking a breath that he won't even know he is being set up. It must surely be for the lulz only.





* I have since seen some mercifully short extracts of Lindell's efforts to win an Oscar, and yes, it's as manically insane as you would expect.

I think allowing Lindell to make a complete ass of himself is the whole point.

If it's soon and the site is still borked, Kimmel should try to load it live during the taping.

The site is down again. A static landing page asks people to text to Frank to receive an alert for when live broadcasts of Lindell ranting begin again.

After several days of exploring 4chan, the general consensus appears to be that Lindell is a fool and the site is to harvest user data to pay off his debts. They don't consider the site to be worth their attention, even to prank it.

So Lindell was a crackhead, and admits he suffers from paranoia... well that certainly explains a LOT!!

Is that “genuine” paranoia i.e. medically diagnosed?

If so then the folk who are enabling his behaviour should be taken to task.

Well this Lindell guy looks like a serious candidate for wearing his underpants on his head, and having two pencils stuck up his nose!

Yeah but it's definitely not influencing his actions right now. He's clean now!

He might very well think that, but you and I both know that it isn't how these things work.

I started to watch the interview but it was a bit too much like when a mentally ill person starts talking to you on the Metro. It's really uncomfortable; you can't move and just want the episode to end.

Same here. I read before hand he behaved himself, but I could only take 5-6 minutes of it, even so.

He behaved himself? I shudder to think what he'd be doing if he didn't.

I watched the clip of Lindell on Kimmel, and I thought Lindell seemed manically overcheerful. He laughed at all the mockery and insults. I don't think he can laugh his way out of the consequences that are coming his way, but I'm pretty sure he's going to try.

The suits against him are by no means slam-dunks, though. Defamation is a hard sell in America.
