I thought I had mapped the space out and reserved the important things.

Can you give some details of the stuff that got wrong?

Because it's interesting from an engineering perspective.

Well, the interesting stuff is that none of these services have a squatter protection.

So I had two browser windows open.

One was like a

an empty account ready to be renamed to Cloudbot.

And the other one I renamed to Moldbot.

So I pressed rename there.

I pressed rename there.

And in those five seconds, they stole the account name.

Literally, the five seconds of dragging the mouse over there and pressing rename there was too long.

Because there's no, those systems, I mean, you would expect that they have some protection or like an automatic forwarding, but there's nothing like that.

And I didn't know that they're not just good at harassment.

They're also really good at using scripts and tools.

So yeah, so suddenly like the old account was promoting new tokens and serving malware.

And I was like, okay, let's move over to GitHub.

And I pressed rename on GitHub.

And the GitHub renaming thing is slightly confusing, so I renamed my personal account.

And in those, I guess it took me 30 seconds to realize my mistake, they snapped my account, serving malware from my account.
