mrsulfat2937ySounds like a hard way to trick people who actually knows a little about computer. But how?
Who wouldn't be weirded out if the server had no login!
They could be spear phishing attacks, but how often do you receive shh info on your email? -
so you would have to still connect to an unknown server for that to happen, it would be only problematic if you connect to unknown ssh servers or if some vps hosting gets hacked, though then you have much more problems, right?
