>this fan was legit, they even gave me that swatting video>The only people who had that unlisted Youtube video and knew where to look were harassment collaborators>i see no issue with mentioning a random fan reached out to me>It's not a random fan is my point>its irrelevant>this random fan does something to establish credibility, then uses that credibility to feed disinfo to the target. He was told he was talking to one of the swatters, didn't believe the guy, published the video anyway, and made the situation worse as a result.
>>29674651Not all phishing scams are handled the same way. The vast majority of them yes, do involve making a public statement so people can be aware, but most phishing scams also only want your personal info to commit theft and nothing more. Once they get that they get the fuck out and don't care what happens, so warning the public is advised. When dealing with people whose goals are serial harassment, swatting, doxxing, and gaining notoriety, you don't give them what they want, and never reveal your hand until you have enough to bring the entire group down at once. Unironically the same tactics used for terrorist cells, and it's basic cybersecurity knowledge. The people being dealt with were after the latter, not the former.
