People keep talking about this as if there's a 0% chance of being caught if you do this?.
So let's suppose that you did set up the service like this. Can you even make 10 K? What are your odds of getting caught? How much do you value not being in prison and/or having to hire a lawyer to get you out of there?
I’d take the 10k, too, but I think it’s possible to pull this off without getting caught.
It’s a lot more work, of course, but you can scrape some top youtubers first as it seems relatively easy. If you can pull this off you can then try and figure out how to legitimize your offering – I won’t go into details here, for obvious reasons, but now that you have something valuable on your hands it makes sense to spend some time/money on selling that.
You’re talking about this as if there aren’t other countries who actively infiltrate power infrastructure and for whom this is the most low risk mild attack (if you can call it that)
I’m not speaking theoretically, which I suspect most on this thread are.
Okay, which state actor is going to buy this for $100,000? How are you going to sell it to them? What's the risk of getting caught?
Even if someone on telegram was telling me that Russia would buy this information for $100,000, I think I would reach out to Google and "settle" for $10k.
Why a nation state? My hypothetical is a phishing ring that sends an official-looking phishing email to 1000 non-public email accounts that typically only get emails from Youtube.
The exploit can be valued at: number of emails * probability that you'll phish them into letting you in * value of posting a "Free Robux" scam on a channel with 100M subscribers.
Who are you advertising to? What is the risk of getting caught or getting scammed back while trying to receive your payment?
I feel like you are just taking into account the theoretical max value of a bad actor having these accounts, not the cost/risk of using this knowledge.
I could have the master key of a bank safe with 100MM worth of gold in the basement, but it's value is going to be nowhere near that, even to bad actors.
They didn't have to do this. They didn't even acquire Pebble outright, they acquired it through Fitbit, and Pebble was just a part of Fitbit's portfolio from a previous acquisition.
Not the parent commenter but not always. 9 pool just means you build a spawning pool at your main, for instance. This worker-prefix building build-order naming system also breaks down once people start referencing builds like 2 rax academy, 3 hatch muta, etc.
I think strictly "9 pool" means you build the pool when you have 9 supply. However, before you build a spawning pool, the only thing you can build that consumes supply is workers.
Uhh... that's kind of how these algorithms work. I presume you interact (i.e. don't scroll past) with a lot of the English posts. It's going to index on that and show you more English content. When I'm abroad, I might see a few posts in their native language but the algorithm will revert to showing English posts about the city/country once it realizes I'm not really jiving with Portuguese posts, for example.
An illiterate coworker of mine showed me his phone and asked for help. It was utterly amazing, he exclusively got videos from goat and donkey farmers. The most stunning part was that most of the videos were completely hilarious. People talking to their goat then the goat does what they say or the opposite on purpose.
