STINC’s sign-up process has been one of the most exploitable processes in this ecosystem. They routinely allow exploiters to create hundred- or thousand-account bot-nets. One was able to grow to over 20,000 accounts.
They need to get out of the account creation game until they have at least some kind of adequate measures to prevent obvious exploits. It’s sad that this continues. And it’s even sadder that they wanted the ability to create these accounts for free...so that they can assume zero responsibility AND pay no price for it.
