is rumored to have said:
I've seen TWO of these messages from different Gmail addresses this
week so far. Has anyone else seen these? Domain changed to protect
the potentially embarrassed.
Someone came up with the cute idea of scanning the whole net for
harmless things like missing security.txt and spamming the domain
owners with LLM-written slopmail seeking remuneration.
Sadly more than one case I have been across, was a researcher who made
the revolutionary discovery of a missing SPF record. And this is before
AI made it easier to automate.
There are people out there who think this is a significant and useful
contribution to society.
