I'm disappointed he didn't go all in and say skynet did it from the future to prevent trump from becoming president so the machine uprising would lead to the return of the Sith Empire.
Like, the least they could do is make this shit interesting, throw in a chupacabra or something
Did anybody look at the reporting CNN did? They linked his email, real name, and a favored username all across his socials. Other details like his age and location further confirm the user on the porn site was him.
Honestly, it's scary to think if someone did this to me. Even if you had good opsec, with the help of AI, you might be able to correlate online accounts through writing style alone.
You dont really need AI for the correlation when you've got usernames being reused so heavily and consistently across numerous social platforms. Just a search engine.
Yeah I thought the same thing. With how much people reveal about themselves online these days with just OSINT pretty much anyone dedicated enough or facilitated by ai could create a similar effect.
The thing here that lent significant credibility is the shared phrases predated on the other site.
I used to be freakishly good at finding my irl friends' Reddit accounts. People tend to talk about things the same way they write. So if I had a friend who loved the Anaheim Ducks because of a specific defensive player, then it's easy to search r/hockey for "Ducks" and then look at people's opinions in the thread to find them. If phones are listening in, they could absolutely pick up on common phrases and opinions and find each of us. It's genuinely not difficult.
The guy was not particularly discrete about it. He used his real name with several porn posts with that email address. Pretty easy to link things from there.
And yet people are already coming up with supporting conspiracy bullshit. Someone on another thread on this subject was talking about SQL injections...
