Exposing the Website that Stalks You in Discord!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- There is a website called spy.pet that claims to have 4 billion messages saved across Discord. With this, you can "see what your friends are doing on Discord". Now lets cut the nonsense, this website scrapes messages on Discord servers (invading your privacy) and will show them to anyone who is willing to pay a fee.
But what if I told you things go deeper than that.
In fact, there are some hidden intentions of the website. Which combined with the legal issues of selling people's data, leads to a recipe for disaster. So buckle in boyo, you're in on the trainwreck early.

Oh a nice update, 404media did make a follow up article today www.404media.co/spy-site-selling-discord-messages-linked-to-kiwi-farms/ and it's really good!
They found that the spy.pet admin email was used to sign up for a kiwifarms account, most likely the one I showed in the video.

Ok
being transgender and transphobic at the same time has to be the biggest plot twist ever
blare white ah person
surprisingly common unfortunately
i accidentally fell into a 4chan thread once and its apparently a common thing there lol
based
Im...surprised that that's even possible, sad that there are hypocrite fellow trans brothas and sistahs
If you see a person with a cat pfp, there's a 50% chance they're gonna be the nicest person you'll ever meet, and a 50% chance that they're gonna be a psychopath.
wrong stupid
Frrrr
Given that I use pictures of my cat as pfps almost everywhere... Yes.
Hi
40% chance they will be nice 60% they are a skid
2:41 The fact they write "Are you a group of feds looking for a new source of intel?" as if the three letter agencies won't just find where you live within a few days and force you to give up the data..
Dude had the (I hate to use this word for obvious as fuck reasons) "gl*wie" memes on their freakin' Mastodon page/instance. Of *course* they'd use that phrase.
I feel really awful for even using that word. I don't care what context it was in, I just feel so awful.
@@daviddebroux4708why are you censoring glowie lmao
Just because they can get the data themselves doesn't mean they won't take it when someone is selling?
Like bruh what are you even talking about, FBI won't magically materialize your deleted messages without having to subpoena Discord and waiting god knows how long
@@Archimedes.5000 He's probably one himself
@@Archimedes.5000 tf does glowie even mean?
FYI: this is extremely illegal in the EU. Especially that "removal" page. If you report it to the appropriate authorities, it will get taken down.
You act as if discord isn't also selling / shifting data around to people they really shouldn't be. Don't be mad about it now, its the future you chose.
@@DickButtox what a load of BS you just said
stay ignorant; but you're extremely stupid if you think discord isn't already selling your data/letting its parent company snoop in on what they have.
@@Honza368 what did they say? they deleted their message lol
Looks like that’s what has happened so thank god for the EU.
The fact that the creator of a stalker site that got stalked with the same techniques is just gold irony.
Ikrrr 😭
Not the same techniques at all?
I wonder why unknown goes to such a great lengths to be a asshole to all the trans folks, when they can just go to a public forum event (like many other people who had a second gender crisis do) to speak out how changing their gender didn't work out. And let of all hurt they experienced 'cause of it out there to help people like them deal with it and make money of that. Like it's capitalism 101, it's not that hard and makes you feel better inside too! Why do you think people who experienced trauma go around to all the podcasts to "tell the story"?
Lmao what are you on about? These "techniques" are completely different.
@@ltsMeNoodle it's still funny, they thought they were invisible and noone would dox them.
I tried looking myself up for the fun of it, and I apparently dont even exist
well now im curious
Same 😂
I'd do the same but apparently the website is already down cus that braindead edgy unknown is such a pussy. Which is fitting.
yo me too
It just can log public servers and public places, it can't access things like private servers and DM's
The dude was probabaly likes "NTTS MADE A VIDEO ABOUT ME LETS GO-...THAT'S MY FUCKING LOCATION..."
LMFAO FR
LMAO FOR REAL WHAT AN IDIOT
To explain the being trans and transphobic thing, a lot of people, especially people on kiwifarms, will pose as a trans person to get close to real trans people. The pixiv pfp is usually a giveaway (some real trans people use them but a lot of people going undercover to stalk trans people and make fun of them immediately go with one) so honestly if this person has a whole website dedicated to stalking the lgbtq+ community, I wouldn’t think it was wild to assume they weren’t a trans person at all and were just disguising themself as one to get into trans spaces and servers to be a creep. It’s just full on stalker behavior and obsession. Especially knowing they’re on kiwifarms and used chris Chan as an example thing- they’re trying to find the next Chris Chan so they can harass them and laugh at them.
someone invading thousand's of people's privacy getting shocked when those people invade the invader's privacy is funny af

@@Archimedes.5000 did you watch the video? you could clearly see they were shocked and mad, and trying to mindlessly insult them in their blog.

"PUBLIC MESSAGES ARE PUBLIC"

Imagine you are unknown you sleep peacefully and wakeup next morning having this guy leaked almost everything about you
The website may also violate Australian APP laws which require that the person whose info is being collected and shared to others domestically or internationally, be notified of this beforehand as well as give consent. Additionally selling this info for profit without consent also violates Australian federal law as well like European law selling the information of minors with out any form of consent or knowledge of this from either their legal guardians or own person can put this dude into some deep shit.
Note: I AM NOT A LAWYER THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION BASED ON THE Privacy Act 1988 as well as a few other Australian legislations DO NOT TAKE MY WORDS AT FACE VALUE if you live in Australia and are worried about this website my suggestion is to get a lawyer or wait and see if discord will take action.
yeah it is violating the laws of 160 or so countries
This is an instant multimillion sue in the EU lmao
Let's hope XD
Not if the site isn't hosted in the EU. People who don't live under EU laws aren't bound by them.
@@n0pe578That's blatantly false. Any party processing data on EU residents must comply with relevant EU law. You are only exempt from EU law if you do not operate within the EU.
Fun fact: you can opt-out!
It even says that EU residents can fill out a form to get removed.
If you‘re not an EU residence you can explain why you‘d like to be removed and _he will think about it_
@@GurkenbauerTim I saw that but its still an illegal piece of data collection since:
1. Theres no actual use for it besides "haha you can see what your friends are doing" (which is null in front of the law)
2. the user whose data is being collected never has gotten any notification, agreement or contract formed for this at any point.
Theres been these cases where technical public information has been mass collected and the EU has been pretty strong against these cases even defining them as full trust public information in some cases.
The form you can fill out is for 2 reasons:
1. Collect more data (and potentially threaten with it)
2. Scare users from making a mistake by reporting it to authorities.
From "unknown" to "well-known"
You didn't even finished the best part! Some nice people discovered an API exploit that managed to uncover all of spy pet's tracking bots on servers, and guess what their profile pictures also are? Exactly, very cute cats.
Is there a repository of them? I'd love to be able to spot and ban them if any are still around.

Do Europeans have class action lawsuits?
I’m gonna move to the EU just to sue this guy.
@@OctyabrAprelyayes, but violating the GDPR goes directly to the European Court, you don't need class action. Current fines run at a maximum of €20,000,000 or 4% of annual worldwide turnover, which ever is greatest. The current highest fine is Meta (Facebook), €1.2 billion.
Bro there website just got ddosd because of TTS LMAO there website isn't working because of how much traffic this video gave them that's wild

It's just cus everybody wants to know if they are going to jail
i bet somebody just sent 139 million requests to their site:)
It was already down yesterday
@@007serialgamer I can't go back
Websites like this are the reason why I put heavy emphasis to people on not sharing any info in public servers, you never know if there's someone doing stuff like this. Great video, thank you for spreading the word!! Hopefully the site gets taken down soon.
Yup. For every 1 idiot like this making themselves obvious, there's a dozen others quietly collecting information and probably doing more damage with it

@@user-a0d9w0ec9wiej that's not how normal people talk about doing things offline. Period.

His digital foot print is bigger than my carbon foot print.
Saw a website just like this years ago. Complete with the same exact message when you try to opt out (or simialr, bottom line it was a "shut up lol" meme). DIscord eventually was able to get the site taken down, so yeah this one isn't going to last very long.
"in light of recent controversies" also tacitly admits that opting out wasn't available until recently. Big brained move to tell the world you were definitely being illegal in yet another official avenue.
I think the funniest part of this is that the EU regulation doesn't say to anonymize the data, it says to ERASE it.

@NoTextToSpeech UPDATE as of April 22, 2024, the site is now taken down, porkchop, the registrar has been contacted and informed about the abuse and multiple privacy laws violations the platform was doing against EU Users and elected to take it down entirely.
The site is still online, instead of "spy .pet" is now spy .pm"
Yea
It seems now (May 6th) the website is back up, and provided by a different Registrar

@@barrettross3772 It's a good idea, but there are unfortunately some that don't care, and will only remove sites if there's a law enforcement cases surrounding it
I think a lot of people are overlooking just how targeted this is. Someone is scraping all of the publicly available information about you and allowing people to buy it for literal pennies. Sure, your twitter posts are public, as is anything you post on social media, but those are things you intended for people to scroll through and see. Difference here is that you only wanted that information shared between yourselves and the member of the community you joined, regardless of whether or not it was public.
Right, like somebody who won't or can't join Discord or join the servers you're in shouldn't be able to see your messages. If that was part of Discord's brand then it would be closer to Reddit if anything.
I would say its pretty common to have terminally online trans people who also absolutely hate trans people, you are more prone to find people like that online than irl.
Terminally online trans people hate literally everyone and everything that moves and/or makes sound. It's the most hate-filled group of people I've ever interacted with.
Yeah, sounds like terminally online behavior
It checks out with some of the online people I've met, but it's really rare.
What's more common from what I've seen is trans MtF being intolerant of others. Almost always see MtF too
@@translatedbird1162 MtF being more common is probably largely because women being more masculine is for some reason generally seen as more socially acceptable than men being more feminine
its almost always gonna be the people who peruse /lgbt/ boards on 4chan too. self hate is a crazy drug
i have a weird explanation for transphobe being trans thing. it could stem from internalized self hatred, brainwashing (for the lack of a better word) transphobia from family and community, envy/ jealousy of others, or just the right mix of some or all of those. its sadly common and can lead to a very fast downward spiral. also its hilarious how many tracks they left uncovered
That or they wanna undo it and decided to take their rushed decision off on everyone else.
@@JewelWildmoon or they we were likely infiltrating deep into another server and weren't actually LGBT... which... seems more in character here tbh
@@JewelWildmoon tru i guess it depends on which came first the chicken or the egg
this is very real, esp in people who are at risk of being recruited into far right circles. I once had a friend who was a trans woman and a TERF, brainwashed into it via their constant involvement in far-right dominated forums and spaces.
or a religious thing, christians actually, does not like lgbt, its well known, especially the radicalist orthodox and they prob dont support harassment, and also other religion like islam, it is known to not like lgbt but it is also not in support of harassment/bullying anyone, and probably the hindu's too.
no way someone would actually spend $400 on a HANDLE. like what a (stupid) waste of money and intelligence.
“waste of intelligence” implies there was any to begin with

Don't know if Discord took it down or something else but what matters it that it no longer exists.

It would be a shame if someone were to post copyrighted material (for example, the entire Bee Movie script) to Discord which this site would log, and it would be a further shame if the copyright holders were to be informed and issue a DMCA takedown on this site, inconveniencing the site runners (I don't know if the copyright holders of the Bee Movie would care, it's just an example).
Which would then also get Discord in trouble...

Are you going to talk about the new addition to discord's privacy policy that basically doesn't allow users in the US to sue them?
After this video, I have a slight suspension that, behind the cute voice, NTTS has many hacker contacts that could erase anyone from existence, but he chooses to use it only for fun and, sometimes, help common discord users
Or he can be a mastermind hacker, upload his mind to the cloud, replicate himself and then investigating everyone at the same time 😅
99% of this is just googlefu.
He’s mr 4chan himself, inventor of 4chan
He reminds me of those youtubers who narrate reddit stories.
The issue with transphobia isnt the fact that you have to like everyone. its the fact that you go out of your way to interact / harrass them, if you dont like it, just don’t interact with them, since you dont like them. its very simple.

I mean if people actually cared about privacy, I don't think chrome & windows would be the most used browser & operating system...
Because they don't, except when it affects them directly. Same reason so many of the same people would most likely support the leaking of servers or groups they greatly disagree with politically or morally or whatever (applies to all sides btw), and even potentially support the dokxing of users they really don't like (or at least wouldn't criticize or denounce it happening to them)
I think a lot of people care about privacy, they just don't care enough to opt out of basically every service because everything these days intrudes on your privacy. Just having a cell phone is already a big privacy invasion.
Somehow the worst people are so stupid and leave so many breadcrumbs behind them that it’s almost too easy to find them sometimes. They use the same usernames and handles so it’s like they want us to find them. And good work NTTS, you’ve inspired me to learn how to shut down over 20 homophobic and racist pages in my free time lol❤️

"Always assume that someone is gonna save your message" Epic quote

You don't need a coomer autistic discord youtuber to point that out
I love that the people here screaming "its public messages" have no idea about what they are talking. When you post on discord, you do so by accepting Discord ToS. Things you post o discord is actually private in a way that it is between you and the company system, in this case, Discord. They are the ones allowed to broadcast that information and other can use their system to see that information, but if you make your own system to use their system to scrape that data, you are going against the law by gathering info from other people without their consent, because the consent was between them and discord, not you. So, if you think this is ok, do the same and wait for the feds to get to you, because this is probably what is going to happen with this individual.
Very important distinction that the comments seem to be misunderstanding, I agree one hundred percent.
In addition, they asked people to submit links to servers that are meant to be private too.
Except this is completely false?
If I take a screenshot of discord messages and send it on a different platform then I'm not suddenly breaking the law for "circumventing the system" or whatever.
I aquired public (or sometimes even not public) information through the system and I can brodcast it wherever I want.
Also terms of data processing are not in Terms of Service but in Privacy Policy, which says something completely different than what you did:
" *Be aware of the Discord spaces you choose to participate in*
You can choose what spaces to participate in and what information you add to our services. You can choose what messages to send or post, who to engage with (e.g., one or more particular users or a potentially unlimited group of users), what information to include in your profile, whether to connect any third party services to your Discord account, and more. For example, if you share content in certain spaces, such as servers listed in Server Discovery or with public invite links, your content may be accessed by anyone. "

The system and website's actually well made, I'll be fair. A lot of dumb opsec mistakes -which could be intentional altho I don't think so-, but the only thing linking all to their real identity from NTTS' investigation seems to be the Coinbase KYC system.

Regardless of them getting consequences, the web's gonna be nuked. The database could still be sold tho so eh.

You shouldnt ever count on that though.
And leaving your door unlocked does not mean your house should get broken into. But you should still close your door, otherwise you invite nefarious people to break in.
I disagree with the statement that the journalist is stupid or dumb for not giving an opinion. Journalists aren't supposed to give opinions (unless it's specifically an opinion piece), but be objective. The fact that this is one of the rare few journalists that stayed objective should be commended!
Just because most "journalists" write what can only be described as subjective blogposts, doesn't mean that it should be the norm. Journalists should write objective and factual news pieces and let the reader make their own opinion from it, not provide a opinion that you should adhere to.
That being said, the spy.pet guy is an absolute asshole and it is against GDPR to not allow deletion requests.
I'm a journalist, and I appreciate this. The distinction between reportage and editorial has evaporated. I'm not certain whether people by and large remember what these can look like separated.
When i searched up the site i immediately got a warning that the place was malicious and probably would try to install viruses.
part of me thinks that unknown claiming theyre transgender is so that they can go into places to act awful and "stereotypical" to affirm peoples bigotries. then theres the other part of me who's been trans and online for 8 years and have seen the depths some people in my community are willing to go to to get acceptance from their cis peers, so... dont really know what to think with this one. awful person all around, whatever the case. i hope this scares them so bad they quit all this for good, however unlikely that is.
hey NTTS what did you use for the investigation part it looks pretty awesome
They added a pinned comment, it's excalidraw in case you haven't seen it
"They also said intended customers could be people interested in what their friends are up to."
And why would anyone stay friends with someone who is constantly under their ass?
You can now "opt out" of your messages being logged, but the creator of the website has to deem it "necessary"
Can't do anything for private servers. They probably just have a bot sitting in tons of popular discords saving data and all of the messages that get posted. This only affects public servers who give out their invite links.
The website is already being blocked by my ISP LMAO
im concerned though now bc there were several users in my discord server who never grabbed the onboarding role and have just been sitting there, went ahead and removed them from the server bc they matched the "weird names with a bunch of random numbers" thing
inactivity should be the basis, and it is completely up to the moderating teams discretion
Dude, you're a legend. Thank you for bringing visibility to all this.
His Github profile says that he is registered under CET ( Central European Time ) zone.
I mentioned this on a previous video, and it came up here! An LLM based on Discord messages would be absolutely crazy so MEE6 would love to implement one!
As someone who is transgender... it's surprisingly common that people who are lgbt, and dislike that they are not "normal", are very commonly transphobic and homophobic as a way of coping. It's just jealousy that people are comfortable being themselves.
or mental illness (usually personality disorders) which cause this behaviour. most people ive seen act like this have shown alot of traits which link to some sort of personality disorder
quite literally becoming what you hate lmao and the fact ive seen this happen alot too with some of my old friends
Wait my comment shouldnt go to you, instead to the chocomilc guy, sorry
@@ChocoMilk.o_ohail satan
i mean if you're going on kiwifarms and harrasing trans people you've probably detransitioned and turned far right or something at that point rather than self deprecating tbh.
The thing is, why am I not even surprised that a tool is being used for harassment because someone doesn't agree with something and personally wants to go out their way to whine about it. Keep taking the site down, it shouldn't exist.
Thank you NTTS For making it now so its impossible to moderate users with now an "unknown ID"
What is the program you use to draw lines and connect evidence to one another? :)
I am used to Maltego but i truly liked the look and feel and simplicity of your program you were using :P
excalidraw
Discord is just a mess and it going to continue to be a mess. They don’t listen to us and never will. As a company they should listen to the consumers. But what company in the United States does that. Thanks for the amazing video NTTS.
sooo what does that have to do with the video?
@@ShadowOfThePit Giving out our information. What you even mean? We have told Discord as consumers to do something about these websites having our information and they don’t do anything.
@@xrd_robinhood im sorry but did you even watched the video? the website only takes messages from public servers, public means everyone can see it meaning that anyone can archive these messages if they are smart enough, that means your dms and other stuff is safe lol
@@xrd_robinhood Buddy did you even watch the video? It just said the bot is scraping public information and compiling it on their own. There is nothing you or Discord can do about it.
@@xrd_robinhoodthis is just an automation of manually joining every server someone is in and searching up every message they have send there
Yes, it's scummy, and should be taken down, but discord is at no fault here (besides not having already taken it down)
18:13 "I got NTTS IP he's not compared to me" got me chucke a bit.
Please keep us updated on that topic
4chan to the guy behind it:
Oh you’re a villain alright! Just not a super one!
Pretty sure journalist arent allowed to really give an opinion when making a news article 😂
Imagine spending 430 dollars for the username 'transphobic'
“Om the transparency page there nothing”
It’s just super transparent, you just have to squint at it
