Apparently there's an imposter pretending to be me and messaging infosec and infosec-adjacent folks cold on Signal (or, at least these are the people reporting it).
So, for the record I will NEVER cold message people on Signal. If you don't know me, or we didn't connect explicitly via a contact or at an event, I will not reach out to you. Ever. I have, like, better things to do, for one...
@Mer__edith yeah, that's what I would have thought...
BTW: thank you for the interview on Logbuch Netzpolitik!
@Mer__edith
would suggest you using #signal hashtag for signal related posts on fediverse. Many people do follow hashtags here and it would add better reach.
@Mer__edith So you don't need me to buy you $10k worth of Robux gift cards? /s
@Mer__edith@mastodon.world
... Do you know why they are doing this? For example, like:

@Mer__edith that must be one of the most thankless jobs in one of the APT’s unit (I presume - scamming infosec people has to be an order rather an “brilliant idea”;)
