My blog post yesterday regarding NSA's corruption of IETF mentioned that there's a current stealth project to silence dissent in IETF. This project aims to change IETF rules so that new censors can permanently ban people from IETF participation simply for (e.g.) objecting to NSA's proposals to weaken cryptographic standards. The new rules will go into effect unless enough people hear what's happening and file objections by Tuesday the 7th of October, which, at the time I'm writing this, is still in the future.

How do you even get your lemmy account hacked? And why would it be even used lol

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

They do get hacked, early during federation there was someone hacking accounts by dms images to accounts and if they looked at them they could access the account

They were use to spam but in axis.world they got an admin account they used to spam anti-semitic stuff

Trying to wrap my head around people hacking Lemmy accounts to crypto shill but I guess anything is possible.
