How can you find all threads by a member? Namely Josiah Pastor AKA "DarkOwner" at ATS.
I swear I remember reading something here how he was harvesting emails or doing some other questionable technical thing and now that this person has blasted his simulation theory bullshit all over at ATS and is claiming owner status, I find it highly suspicious.
Thanks!
I too find it highly suspicious , not starting a new account on a rudderless ship that's for sure.
Would it do any good for me to try to create a new password, just in case? I don't know how this data collection works.
Data collection is usually accomplished by capturing it "in the clear" during transit from where you type it in on it's way to the hash function to hash it. That hash is then compared to the hash stored in the database for verification of the password.
If I were going to create a new account there, which I'm not, I would at least use a throwaway e-mail address and password. That way, if someone is capturing data, they won't have your original primary address or password for your original account. The only things compromised to them would be the throwaway information. Not much they can do with that other than takeover the throwaway e-mail account.
Whatever you do, don't try to change the password on your original account just yet. It won't work to get you into the account anyhow, and you might just be giving the keys to your account to an attacker for them to take over at will.
