I see more spambots trying to monetize on desperate people. People try the link in the password field, that goes in a rabbit hole of concatenated ad.fly link “shorteners” that only show endless ads
Comment on Bots ruined an once useful website with fake credentials that lead to nothing

Sounds like the security community working together to minimize the effectiveness of a hacking community.

I was thinking that. Flood the market with fakes to deter the average skript kiddie

The logic is a little problematic, because it also means you mislead ordinary users, and honestly the infosec industry has a conflict of interest as well.

I disagree in the infosec conflict of interest. Flooding might even be a product in some vendor.

…well of course it’s beneficial to their product, to a detriment against everyone else, which is why I called it a conflict of interest.
Either that, or you used the wrong word. Care to elaborate?
