What's your你對此有何 #twitterpornname #twitterpornname ? To find out hook together the name of your first pet + the first part of the street you grew up on.要找出共同的名字勾你的第一個寵物+第一部分街道你長大。 Mine would probably be Bunsen Lynx, which doesn't sound half bad for a scientwist.礦山大概會本生猞猁,不健全的一半壞了scientwist。 That said,儘管如此, raimalarter raimalarter deflated my ego a little by telling me that name reminded her of The Muppets character.癟我自我一點告訴我,想起她的名字提線木偶的性質。 Thankfully Bunsen Lynx is not my genuine porn name, read on to find out why it's probably not a good idea to reveal your幸好本生猞猁是不是我真正的色情的名字,閱讀,看看為什麼它可能不是一個好主意透露您的 real porn name真正的色情名 in public.在公眾。

It's not an original idea (Sciencebase ran a post about a similar game in August 2005; and wasn't the first), it used to be pet and mother's unmarried name or something similar.它不是最初的想法(Sciencebase跑後的一個類似的遊戲在2005年8月,,是不是第一次),它曾經是寵物和母親的未婚名稱或類似的東西。 It's almost funny, sometimes.它幾乎可笑,有時。 However, it always struck me as a bit of但是,它總是使我覺得有點 social engineering社會工程 to get hold of people's hidden keyphrases that are usually associated with their bank accounts.掌握的人民所隱藏的關鍵字句通常與他們的銀行帳戶。

Indeed, now that the phrase “twitter porn names” is doing the rounds I mentioned this on Twitter and several people agreed with me.事實上,現在把“嘰嘰喳喳色情名字”正在流傳我提出這個Twitter的幾個人也同意我的看法。 After all, what are the secret questions that most logins ask you to store?畢竟,有什麼秘密的問題,大多數登錄要求你商店嗎? Name of first pet, Street address, mother's maiden name.名稱的第一個寵物,街道地址,母親的婚前姓。 You see where I'm coming from?你看看我來自哪裡?

wav4rm wav4rm certainly agreed that it could be a scam, and suggested that even if it weren't devised as one, it could still be easily used as one after the fact.當然同意,它可能是一個騙局,並建議,即使沒有設計為一體,它仍然會輕易作為一個接一個的事實。 It's a convoluted scam, but anyone looking for ways other than bruteforce password cracking will use any social engineering tricks at their disposal to find weak points in your online security.這是一個令人費解的騙局,但任何人尋找途徑以外bruteforce密碼破解將使用任何社交工程技巧其掌握的薄弱點,找到您的網絡安全。

So, if you told the whole twitterverse the name of your first pet, and where you were born using twitterpornnames, now is the time to amend your login details, choose a tougher password, and switch to the name of your second pet as your security question instead.因此,如果您對整個twitterverse的名稱,你的第一個寵物,並在您使用twitterpornnames出生,現在是時候修改您的登錄信息,選擇更強硬的密碼,並切換到你的第二個名稱寵物作為您的安全問題代替。

    I think this is a bit of a stretch.我覺得這是有點一口氣。 Almost no street names are unusual enough to provide any information about where a person was born.幾乎沒有街道名稱是不尋常的,足以提供任何資料的人在哪裡出生。 (Even given the big assumption that the street would be in the person's birthplace.) Without city and state information it would be virtually impossible to find what street the person was referring to. (即使這大假設,街道會在人的發祥地。)沒有城市和州資料就幾乎不可能找到街上的人是指。

    When you add to that the fact that you don't have the street number or date information I don't see anyone could make any use of the information.當您添加到這一事實,你沒有在街上數字或日期的信息我不認為任何人都可以利用任何信息。

    I can see how something like this might be used to lure someone into revealing something useful face to face, if you already know their basic information: name, current address, current phone number, age.我能看到這句話可能被用來引誘別人有用的東西洩露面對面,如果你已經知道自己的基本信息:姓名,現住址,目前的電話號碼,年齡。 But I don't see how a pornname could “easily” be used for a scam.但我看不出如何pornname可以“輕而易舉地”被用於一個騙局。 Even if the person's twitter ID is their real name and their bio tells what city they live in now, you're very far away from getting into the person's account in an unknown bank.即使該人的嘰嘰喳喳ID是他們真實的姓名和他們的城市是什麼生物告訴他們生活在現在,你很遠離了如何把人的帳戶內一個未知的銀行。

    Are there any examples of anyone actually using information gained from a pornname to pull off a scam?是否有任何人的例子,實際使用獲得的信息從一個pornname拉過一個騙局?

    Here's the name of a real street that I really lived on as a kid: South 4th Avenue.下面是一個真正的名稱街道,我真的生活在一個孩子:南第四道。 Where was I living?哪裡是我的生活呢?

    Great catch.偉大的漁獲物。 Behavior-based security attacks have been tried before on Facebook and other places, but Twitter makes it way easier, when it comes to scale, reach and data mining.基於行為的安全性攻擊已經嘗試過在Facebook和其他地方,但Twitter的使它比較容易,當涉及到的規模,範圍和數據挖掘。 I think like any other scam-like Twitter activity this is only a preview for thisngs to come.我認為,像任何其他欺詐像Twitter的活動,這只是一個預覽thisngs來。

    Yuri, I suspect this was initially done for fun, but now that I've mentioned it could be a scam, someone will start datamining those tweets you can bet…尤里,我懷疑這是最初做有趣,但現在我已經提到這可能是一個騙局,有人將啟動數據挖掘的鳴叫你可以打賭...

    @Robin You're right. @羅賓你說得對。 Although I bet I could dig around and find out where you actually lived if I really wanted to.雖然我敢打賭,我可以挖掘,找出解決您實際居住的地方,如果我真的想。 But, any tiny nugget of information can and will be useful to a scammer.但是,任何微小的金塊的信息,將有用的垃圾郵件發送。 They could focus on batches of ten tweeps say, visit their websites sites, their facebook pages, their flickr accounts…etc etc and find all kinds of details and minutiae that might ultimately give them have enough information to open a simple account on a website, get a spoofed email address or something and then work their way up to opening a full identity theft and empty your bank account…ever read Red Paperclip?他們可以集中於批10 tweeps說,訪問他們的網站的網站,他們的Facebook頁面,他們的Flickr帳戶...等等等等,發現各種細節的詳情,以及最終可能給他們足夠的信息來開一個簡單的帳戶在網站上,得到一個電子郵件地址或欺騙東西,然後工作,跑的全面開放和空洞的身份盜竊銀行帳戶...讀過紅色回形針?

    Seems like PCworld and Mashable have finally caught on and published their own take on this “scam”.好像微電腦和Mashable終於抓獲並發表自己承擔這一“騙局”。 Like Robin said, it's a useless scam really, although it could have potential.像羅賓說,這是一個無用的騙局真的,儘管它可能有潛力。 I suspect it's just a twitter game that went viral, no one will actually benefit from it other than twitter who will be able to show another big spike in interest when they talk to future advertisers and investors.我懷疑這只是一個遊戲,嘰嘰喳喳了病毒,沒有人會真正從中受益以外嘰嘰喳喳誰就能顯示另一大穗的興趣,他們交談時,未來的廣告客戶和投資者。

    Hmm … my first pet was named Mr. Big Stuff and we didn't have a street name.嗯...我的第一個寵物先生被任命為大東西,我們沒有一個街道名稱。 It was so rural that it was an RFD address – rural free delivery.它是如此的農村,這是一個溫哥華地產報告-農村免費送貨。 Mr Big Stuff definitely doesn't work for a woman.議員大東西絕對不適合女性。 ;-)

    Since so many women keep their own names now, won't mother's maiden name become useless?既然有這麼多的婦女保持自己的名字,現在不會母親的娘家姓氏變得毫無用處?

    Mr RFD Big Stuff sounds great for a bloke though!主席溫哥華地產大東西聽起來很不錯的小子,雖然!
