The posters are likely automated bots based on the frequency (2-3 posts per minute) and duration of time (6+ hours) the accounts post links. The links (except for the once instance of an image linking to malware on archive.org) direct hardware-gui, which according to who.is, is registered by R01, the largest russian registrar. Given russia's past actions, whoever is behind this has little to fear.

While websites are typically subject to local laws of their registrar, the '.su' domain belongs to the soviet union, and has therefore fallen through the cracks and has ended up in a grey area, since russia just turns a blind eye to whatever it hosts despite having direct ownership. It's supposedly being retired by 2030 but that just means new domains won't be allowed to be made.

What a cringe did I just read? At least you haven't begin telling us that this is all KGB ploy or something, lol.

You're right though that internet full of bullshit and loopholes, which is used frequently by malicious people.

Entire internet is not secure, no country have like iron grip over their networks, even the ones that have security measurements. To have that level of security you must have total control over your section of internet, which kind of not possible because of certain laws and rights of people. This unfortunately allows various "not so kind" type of people to set up their shop and commit various crimes. Those bots could have come from everywhere.

And then, out of blue you declare "It's them, damn russians" and I sitting here being like "What? How do you know that?". Do you have like really solid proof for that? Or it's just comfortable opportunity for you to shit on russians because of your conclusion about register?

Btw "lack of fear" before law or other evil traits of people doesn't depend on nation. You don't need to belong to various countries to be asshole which wants to steal data, money or other things from people.

you seem to have misinterpreted what i said, as you seem to think that the point of my message was "russia is behind this" or "russia bad".

.su domain ownership is not geographically restricted. Where a registrar is located tells us nothing about the domain holder.

The only thing I can imagine you misinterpreting would be my comment on "russia's past actions", which I will clarify: I was specifically referring to their history of not cooperating with extraditions or only partially cooperating with international law enforcement efforts. In addition to this, despite being part of interpol, russia's access to interpol channels have been restricted since the start of the invasion into ukraine.

It does not matter who is behind this, they are masked behind anonymity provided by a registrar, which due to its physical location, and the current geopolitical situation, is unlikely to cooperate with international efforts to find the criminal.

Then next time clarify what you're trying to say more precisely, because your previous message sounded like "it's all commies/russians/chinese/whatever fault!" type of guys, god damned those dumbasses.

As for politics, I prefer to not speak about them in comment section of furry porn game, for many reasons. One of them is leaving possible flood of messages which didn't discuss the game and also it's kinda disrespectful toward developer/author (Raliv). I didn't expect to see comments about politics here, but wow here we are. And any mentions about Russia or Ukraine make me puke, shit about them is everywhere.

So, let's just forget that I misinterpreted your message about malicious malware/bots and don't continue this discussion further.

The original message had nothing explicitly giving an anti-russian sentiment as it was simply stating information. You interpreting netural information in a negative light does not mean the rest of the world needs to start using a clarifying paragraph for what can be understood using just a single sentence.

Don't be a jerk and your first message is not exactly neutral, but whatever
