Hey everyone,

Due to an attempted datamining attack, registration is temporarily disabled.

Please note that the attackers saved a list of usernames, and they'll attempt to cross-check those names with other sites using an OSINT tool.

If you've registered on a non-MAP site with the same username, and posted information that might identify you, I advise deleting the content/account on that other site.

Our team does its best to monitor for threats. Indeed, the attackers were very surprised at how quickly we shut everything down. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own basic OSPEC. If you use the same details both here and at a site where you link to your real identity, you are putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

it's more so "what does this do for me" rather than for minors, since they don't like them too (even ignoring teenagers can be maps).
just like how there's a sense of community here for being a map, there's a weird sense of community over there for being against... anything vaguely map-related above all. both live in completely different worlds.

also considering how the perpetrators are rather well known and public about gong after maps, it wouldn't be surprising that one of the members here were keeping an eye on it. though i won't say the name i found out from a newgon edit today
