This software was found on a Pegatron factory Mac mini, from a listing of a number of them I found for sale in China. The drives were all wiped, but luckily not fully erased, and this software was successfully recovered after doing data recovery! Download below! https://t.co/75ke7JnEgJ pic.twitter.com/aKP8DynTbb

They figured it out and shared with me a new code, the download went through but got blocked for potential malware.

This definitely rose awareness, I shared the information with the scammer, he took it through the dev to do some changes.

1. Write about some seemingly powerful tech that creates fear (AI, nuclear, quantum, etc). Fear creates engagement.

2. Do a PR campaign where journalists write clickbaity headlines on a subject…
