      TechCrunch also sent an email to an address that appears on the public domain records of two of the three websites. The person behind that address also did not immediately respond to our email.

    I’d be very nervous: Did I place enough try/catch blocks in my lol.py?

    Are all the passwords correct before I run it on stage?

    Is this endpoint to delete an email correctly spelled out?

    Does the WiFi of the conference allow connecting to these domains?

    So many things could go wrong.

        That’s basically what I thought when I saw this - there’s no way anything is happening that quickly, this is just outputting “done!” over and over.

    The genius of launching an attack of this scale from an address space that is already jam-packed full of hackers, should not be understated. Id say that, if not for doing it live on stage, law enforcement now has a giant haystack of needles to sift through.

        Imagine calling yourselves the “master race” but forgetting to secure your own website—maybe try mastering to host Wordpress before world domination.

      Yes, it’s illegal, the law absolutely would defend nazis, which is why it does not deserve our respect. Anyone who publicly breaks the law to do a good thing is a hero and deserves our respect.

        It’s okay, you can say it: White Inferiority. We have NOT been sending our best. For a handful of centuries or so.
