Are they really checking or simply *collecting* usernames themselves. Looks like a nifty toy to do that with. On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 9:09 AM, xgermx <xgermx at gmail.com> wrote:
http://www.usernamecheck.com/ is a simple website that shows where you have a username registered (checks against 75 different sites). To a normal web user, this probably seems bengin, but from the attacker POV this is gold. Pauldotcom - registered on 13 sites, that leaves at least 62 opportunities for social engineering. _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
