      Someone at securityaffairs found this article that dropped between the desk and wall in 1997 and apparently just didn’t want it to go to waste.

          When I open the article, I’m immediately hit by the strong smell of old coffee, cigarettes, and sadness. Weird.

            Hopefully they screw over whoever stole https://brick.love/ from me. They aren’t even using the domain and it’s got my name on it.

                    Them sniping an expired domain isn’t crooked. Them using it to serve malware is.
