    *He's the hero the internet deserves, but not the one it needs right now.*
    *So we'll watch him. Because he can teach it. Because he's not our hero.*
    *He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A real engineer.*

    • @OriginalLyricLantern
      @OriginalLyricLantern 4 года назад +23

      It will definitely stop them from doing it again if they get reported quickly. Alle the work & hassle to order a new domain and phone number and install your phising template on the domain is very annoying to them. If they can only fool a handful of people per domain it won't be worth it for them.
