Give social networks fake details!
« on: October 25, 2012, 06:31:53 pm »
Interesting article I came across today:

"Give social networks fake details, advises Whitehall web security official" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20082493

First bit of good advice coming from a government agency! :P

This website is great for signing up for things using a fake address, etc that is still valid: http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

I like that you can narrow down the kind of person you want to use to a specific country, gender, name sets, etc. Also, having the disposable email thing to receive those immediate confirmation emails when you sign up for accounts on some websites is really convenient.

Yeah when I ran my torrent site fakenamegenerator is awesome. I've always told people to never use their real names online but unfortunately no one listened.

How much do you want to bet that this got sparked up because of Amanda Todd? :P
[09:27] (+lenoch) iTpHo3NiX can even manipulate me to suck dick
[09:27] (+lenoch) oh no that's voluntary
[09:27] (+lenoch) sorry

I'd bet quite a lot! I just find it funny that it's coming from Whitehall :P

Nope not a lie.

if you google it some of the spread torrents are still around. I ran it with a guy named HitmanMack that I met on demonoid. He paid, I ran the server and did the coding. Wasn't very big and focused on P2P releases for movies and custom Wii game rips ;)

You could say I've had an interesting life on the internet. I wouldn't say that.

I used to be an editor on SceneReleases.info as well ;) Back when the site was extremely popular before 0sec came out

Not so much. After you fix one bug in that damned TBSource-Dev another pops up and I'm by no means a PHP expert
