  • I enjoy that they’re focusing on ‘promoting pirated software and game cheats’ before talking about malware first.

    Cybersecurity ethusiast Karol Paciorek who spotted the playlist said, “cybercriminals exploit Spotify for malware distribution. Why? Spotify has a strong reputation and its pages are easily indexed by search engines, making it an effective platform to promote malicious links.”

    That’s a very different, more helpful story. “Watch out, Spotify links are being used to distribute malware to your computer.”

    When abusing platforms, spammers and scammers leave no stone unturned to promote their agenda.

    Money. They aren’t doing this as part of a ‘peons of the world unite to steal software’ scheme. They’re doing it to generate traffic so they make more ad revenue.

    They’re just also just borderline disgusting now. All of the ones around me have the same shitty old grey carpet. They aren’t clean. Most of the aisles look like warzones. What little staff is there have that ‘please help me’ deer in the headlights look.

    And don’t get me started on having to wait an extra 5 minutes to leave because the 75-year-old grandma has absolutely no idea how to use the self checkout.
