Are the crypto addresses known/recorded anywhere? would be interesting to see on the blockchain how much was stolen this way.


The code in question is here: https://pastebin.com/raw/mc7psaNF

It appears to be normal Adform code plus two appended chunks at the end.

   Bitcoin: bc1qmplgt0hcg62jc2guz86wn2sms7tqrsulkkrrls
   Ethereum: 0xE7983E69df17079ADb0aD7b3458488Cac0dBc573
   TRON: TW4AgGnDc2Pk6YAynCtjCKzoKYWPg7nJe (?)
Edit: Activity for those addresses:

~$110k bitcoin

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qmplgt0...

~$55k in ETH

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/eth/0xE7983E69...


It's absolutely nuts that there's so much volume of low effort cryptocurrency transfers that replacing clipboard contents with a different wallet address on people not blocking ads on a specific ad network nets anything at all


The bitcoin one has moved the bulk of the funds (minus like $500) to this address: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/BTC/bc1qjekyd0...


love this, never seen it before. thank you for making me aware of it



Yes! It's the longest line of sight in the UK. I grew up in Wales so it was one of the first I looked for.


nice project! reminded me about https://tilde.club/ in the same vein


The metrics for that were pretty much: 2 World Wars and 1 World Cup.


Congrats on your imminent acquisition by the New York times (a'la Wordle)


cool bro


when 550 of 700 employees back Sam its hard to argue with


550 Employees who want to get rich on a IPO, versus Scientist who worked for 20 years on AI and wanted a non profit...Who upsets most the Silicon Valley intelligentsia ?


Hard to say, actually. There is very little inside information. My first thought was exactly the same, but I'd probably also be upset if instead of guaranteed millions in stock options I was suddenly offered a choice between becoming a Microsoft drone vs scrambling for live in a doomed organisation. All this really depends what sort of communication happens within the company - something most of us here simply are not privy to.


But employees are motivated by money and the perspective of more. That kinda casts doubt on the whole angle really. At least in my book.
