A very similar drama is unfolding around smutty: a porn-op is sending out numerous reports of abuse to OSINTers' hosting services and domains. But it has affected us less.
On fake WAAD:
In 2024 we got 2 requests: imgur.com/a/BJbvhsp
Both target pages from OSINT probe into a pornsite op: one with ad-codes, other - public company registry.
The style matches our WAAD: vocab, Lyon, bold font, French&English, view from porn industry infobubble,..
Cloudflare DNS issue persists due to double-locking:
in response to my non-answering to their requests, they implemented infinite TTL for my domains, remembering the IPs forever.
So, IPs in 1.1.1.1's responses are often obsolete or not mine at all, beyond my control to alter.
Someone is spamming with messy emails from a "feminist association" accusing us of cryptoscam, Windows virus, torture, rape, pedo/zoophilia, ... everything at once.
Shockingly, some recipients seem to believe it.
Something from Kiwifarms?

It is interesting that @waybackmachine fell into this trap and was used as a credibility booster.

This is funny, unfortunate, and also, an example of a much larger problem: The internet is a collective hallucination that is fading away thanks to link rot. vice.com/en/article/qj8xz3/a…
Whole .ws zone is down for many hours and there is nothing in the news or twitter (8.8.8.8 might return cached results for some domains. "dig +tra website.ws" fails for every domain in .ws)

In 2020, Google AdSense recruiting publishers using email spam.
I remember the times when it was a privilege to get an account there. Weeks-long approval queue. Random blocks.
Twitter is blocking archive DOT ph links from being posted and throws a warning when you click on archive DOT today links.
