PSA: The @virge account was hacked a few weeks ago. (whatever)

submitted 5.3 years ago by VIRGEisHACKED

A few weeks ago the @virge account was hacked by Soapboxbanhammer mod @Trigglypuff. The account is now most likely shared. The original user who @PuttItOut praised as a Builder is no longer in control of the account. They had been using the account to screw around with, but they recently started pretending to be the real @virge again which is alarming.

You may remember @Trigglypuff as the SBBH mod that doxxed many Voat users, including mods of v/GreatAwakening, and was Global Banned by @PuttItOut, but she cried until he unbanned her. As @PuttItOut and @Cynabuns have been missing for months I thought I should bring this to everyone's attention. We goats have to stay vigilant.

25 upvotes in 13 minutes. I've been watching this shit for a long time and that's the highest ratio I've ever seen.

If we needed any further evidence that the management of Voat has gone Galt and a single user can manipulate the front page, there it is.

In their defense, your behavior has changed pretty drastically since you came back. It wouldn't surprise me.

I've been baiting Virge with comments and ideas that had provoked certain responses from him before he disappeared. He has not reacted in any similar way. This was my indicator that Virge is not virge of old. I believe something has changed but I doubt the SBBH shit is the cause.

It's admitted to being a shared account in the past, not sure if that comment is still up. It was right before it's hiatus.

It's always been a shared account.

That's the joke. @virge is a joke. Literally.

Can you imagine how many laughs Putt must get from tracking device IDs & accounts ?

virge 5.3 years ago

I imagine he's a fair number of them.

I wonder how much HDD space you'd need to OracleBox individual copies with different user-agent and associated browser telemetry.

No clue but if you need custom racking for that shit, let me know.

What would an 80U in 7075 run me? Any bulk discounts? I'm thinking 10+.

Nah man, c-u-s-t-o-m.

Screw that lazer cut & bent sheet metal crap. I'm talking brushed stainless steel tubing with cnc machined rail slots, ballistic grade polycarbonate walls with 779 F9 air filtration.

Mineral oil immersion doesn't require airflow, just non-corrosive materials.

Why not epoxy dip that shit like in a welding machine ? Fucking tough as nails.

It's literally what the account bio still says, for whatever that's worth. Don't look at mine though. It's personal.

Nothing surprises me anymore. I've always had extremely weird vibes from the SBBH crew. They frame themselves as useless shitposters but their users end up being involved in practically every Voat drama, ever, from subverse takeovers to doxxing.

I mean the website is constantly under outside attack, makes sense that they would try to attack from the inside. Inevitable I'd say.

Maintaining one account on a CIA honeypot when you should treat them as disposable as tissue paper is a personal choice to make.

And yet the Soapdox flunkies do just that, and attempt to leverage their account age to creative and shape narratives.

You can't possibly be trying to convince me they're the only player on this particular board.

I am not. However they are one of them.

Do you conclude it impossible the user learned from previous interactions with you and no longer engages the same way? Cognitive bias bites both ways.

Read Virge's bio for starters. He openly claims to be an account controlled by multiple people ever since he reappeared.

I don't claim to know the angle, but there's something very odd about that account. His last post before going bye-bye 6 months ago was that bullshit LARP about his "copy of the internet".

What's wrong with that?

MinorLeakage 5.3 years ago

It's just the answer to your question.

Do you conclude it impossible the user learned from previous interactions with you and no longer engages the same way?

The comment chain started with someone pointing out his behavior changes, and another confirming they noticed as well. The account in question openly admits to not being the same person as before, and now claims to in fact be multiple people. It isn't really cognitive bias to suggest it's not the same guy, it's established fact.

I also just noticed that you are a ripoff/troll account pretending to be /u/ifuckdolphinseverday. Is that related to your impassioned defense of a fellow impostor?

Everyone has "tells" in their writing style. The tells are all different now. No one is capable of completely masking their tells, especially since they may not even recognize they have them.
