      I didn't even know these kinds of things existed.

      Getting pretty sick and tired of these kinds of hidden aggregators.

          There are many words in my vocabulary spanning rail crews, construction crews, and a couple decades as a mechanic, in several languages, that are still too polite for what I think of this and the peeps behind aggregating.

            I also got a notification from haveibeenpwned that quite a few of our user's email addresses were affected. What a perfect way to start out a Monday!

                  Yeah and they weren't even bothered to whitelist IPs.

                  They should have SSL and strict whitelist preferably to a VPN IP that requires authentication.
