Crushes and Squishes (1/14)

Her feet in the water, Kyra stared out over the sea. It had been one of those perfect summer days when the pressure of school obligations were left behind, the weather was just that sweet middle of wonderfully warm but not too hot and the company had been just right.

She smiled. The company had been just right. She was still thankful every day for the connection she and Malik had made a year and a half ago at that awful birthday party at Holly’s. He had proved to be the most awesome friend in the world. And they clicked on so many levels. Okay, he didn’t share her obsession for horses, and she didn’t really get those RPGs he played, but when it came to the real stuff, they understood each other. They could talk for hours about anything and everything. It was a shame he would now be on holiday for two weeks.

She knew about the rumours going through the school saying she and Malik were secretly hooking up, and they had a good laugh about that together. A relationship? A romantic one? Them? Ha! That was never going to happen. Not only did Kyra not feel attracted to Malik in that way; he didn’t feel attracted to anyone in that way. He told her months ago he had come to realise he was aro/ace. Aromantic and asexual. Malik hadn’t told a lot of people about this, just some of his online gaming friends and Kyra. Not because it was a secret but mostly because he didn’t feel like explaining. From their research online, Kyra and Malik had found a lot of misunderstanding, especially for young aro/ace people. “You just haven’t met the right person yet.” This made Kyra angry, but Malik shrugged it off, saying, “Maybe they’re right, maybe there is someone I match with. Maybe I will find I’m demisexual or grayromantic or vice versa or whatever, but that doesn’t make me less aro/ace. I know my truth.” This was the true spirit of Malik: somewhat stubborn but always confident.

Found another odd tag — keyed off the word "hiding" — and this time it's a long one!

So, the full tag is:

#blac chyna is hiding true feelings about her ‘rebirth’ makeover – her ‘lip clamps & droops’ are the proof

This sounds like a celebrity gossip headline! And sure enough, this tag is full-to-bursting with this article exclusively.

I got this from the desktop site, because it's wild to see. It's just a wall of the same article, all the way down, for multiple pages.

They're all from early November 2023, and all from blogs with names that end in *-polycom, *-mag, or *news. It seems fairly self-evident that this is the work of some kind of tabloid, but I'm a curious cat. I want to dig deeper.

Digging Deeper

Most of these posts tell you (they don't provide links!) to go read the full article on POLYCOM. Ok, what is a POLYCOM? I don't think it's Poly Inc., maker of video- and teleconferencing appliances, but a few cursory Google and DuckDuckGo searches yield no evidence of anything else.

The most recent post tells us to go track down the article ourselves on "IN TREND", but provides no URL or link. Searching around for "IN TREND" on the web is fairly difficult, returning results for well-known fashion publications, trend analytics, and a brand of clothing called "Intrend". Searching for "In Trend Today" returned more interesting results, including an InTrendToday YouTube Channel and Facebook page. The Facebook page seems to have stopped posting in late 2018, but the YouTube Channel last posted a video on Dec 18, 2023. I'll talk more about the YouTube Channel under the cut at the end of this post.

Some of these posts do have "read more" links pointing to posts on Wordpress, all of which claim to be "on MAG NEWS". Each *-mag blog links out to a separate Wordpress account which seems to be re-uploading the same story. All of these Wordpress Accounts are deleted (for violating Wordpress ToS), and all of these linked posts are gone (here are two examples):

Somehow, I doubt this is some covert arm of the Maricopa Association of Governments newsroom.

Digging down into the results on Tumblr, I found a copy of this post made by the blog vouxsportsnews. They link a Wordpress article from another dead Wordpress account:

BUT, their most recent post on their blog (a gossip article about Zendaya posted on Jan 5, 2024) does have a working Wordpress link, to vouxsportsnews.wordpress.com (clever 🙄):

This is an archetypal internet-based gossip rag. I didn't know these still existed! I guess Wordpress is hunting them down for sport?

The "Read More ..." link in the article goes to a website called top.neotrends.today, which is a sketchy link I will not be clicking on. The "full article" is apparently hosted on www.primesky.media, which I also will not be directly navigating to. I did manage to get a screenshot of the front page of primesky today (Jan 8, 2024) using a webtool:

I blurred the article shown on this page to preserve the privacy of the person it featured.

Primesky is hosted on a Cloudflare virtual private server, and no public info is available on who owns the primesky URL. A search for "redroads amag" on DuckDuckGo leads back to primesky. A search of the same on Google leads to a website at www.clickhere.world, which is immensely sketchy and looks identical to primesky. At this point, I'm going to end my search for a culprit.

Conclusion

I thought I could find the tabloid hydra's body, but I just found more heads. I'm not surprised the operators of a gossip rag bot network on Tumblr are also playing dirty on Wordpress, and covering their digital tracks well. Sometimes it's best to just report spam and go on with your day.

It should go without saying, but DO NOT NAVIGATE to these websites! At worst, they will give you every virus. At best, they will mine crypto in the background of your browser (and rot your brain).

The YouTube Channel Digression

The YouTube channel intrendtoday was created on Oct 4, 2017, and it has more than 53,000 subscribers as of my posting this post (Jan 8, 2024). However, the earliest video on the channel was posted on Nov 7, 2023. That is suspiciously close to when all of these Blac Chyna spam articles went up.

Given that the videos posted get less than 50 views on average, I think the grossly-out-of-proportion subscriber count is evidence of bot subscribers. Maybe the channel re-branded and deleted a prior back-catalog? Archive.org has no snapshots of this YouTube channel, but SocialBlade claims they lost nearly 3.5 million video views in early September of 2023 (indicating they deleted a lot of videos).

SocialBlade also indexes this channel under the name "demattradinginfo", not "intrendtoday". Archive.org doesn't have records of a YouTube URL for the channel demattradinginfo, but a Google search of that name shows results for Demat Accounts, which are a type of financial account commonly used in India to hold securities and trade stocks.

It's possible that whomever is behind the gossip news spam is also in control of this YouTube channel. I wouldn't be surprised, given how frequently people offering financial advice on social media are either scammers or spammers (and sometimes both!). However, I have no proof that the people behind this YouTube channel are the same people behind this social media gossip spamming.

When it comes to running a Wordpress website, one of the most critical aspects to consider is protecting it from DDoS attacks. These malicious attempts to overwhelm a site with a flood of traffic can disrupt operations, compromise security, and damage reputation. Implementing robust Wordpress DDoS protection measures is essential to safeguard your online presence and ensure uninterrupted service for your visitors.

If you're ancient and you know it, creak your joints! XD Or, who recognises these old pieces? I finally decided to give my old art a new and permanent home on my Patreon, after erasing one art gallery of mine after another (deviantArt, Facebook, Twitter, my Wordpress site) for a multitude of reasons most artists will be familiar with (bots, spam, hate, AI scraping).

These 2004 era Tolkien artworks are now all in one gallery at my Patreon shop, and more collections are to come! Most of my Patreon tiers get automatic access. :)

When it comes to safeguarding your WordPress website from potential cyber threats and vulnerabilities, utilizing security plugins is crucial. These tools play a vital role in enhancing the overall security of your site and protecting it from malicious attacks. By incorporating reliable security plugins, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and ensure the safety of your website data.

One of the key benefits of using wordpress security plugin for your WordPress site is the added layer of protection they offer. These plugins are designed to detect and prevent security breaches, malware infections, and other potential threats in real-time. By actively monitoring your site's security status, security plugins act as a virtual security guard, keeping a watchful eye on any suspicious activities and promptly addressing them.
