I don't see the correlation between a hacked account and someone dying from corona?

I actually expected a more coherent response from yourself - did you just shit-post to get $6 $5 from your signature campaign?

Quite the opposite actually.

keeping it under 100 chars so as to not get paid for a post that's not informative while simultaneously asking why there's a correlation between hacked accounts and corona seemed like the best option to me

So again, with a fatality rate of 0.1%-0.2% between 20-50 year olds, considering 60% of the (active members of the) forum will get it, that'll mean ~ 60 deaths. Unless some high-profile users didn't secure their accounts properly, and then also died of corona (a statistical wonder for now) i don't really see the issue at hand here. Shouldn't we generally be looking out for accounts that seem hacked, etc..?

But, whatever floats your boat.

Can we please have a sensible discussion of this issue and any solutions to identifying UID's that fall silent during this period and are potentially hacked/brought back to life later?

This is not a bad idea, but i think that this is already being practiced.

If the spread of deaths is uniform (it never is) then at least one user on DT1 will die, maybe five to ten depending how old the user really is. For DT2: Anywhere from a half dozen minimum on DT2 through a couple of dozen members.

Okay, so then the account also needs to get hacked, after it has (obviously) been inactive for some time. Again, not a bad idea, but i think we all already regularly look/monitor DT1/2 accounts for irregularities.
(Plus the statistical chance of someone getting killed by Covid, that someone being in DT1, the hacker knowing the owner has died, the hacker actually being able to hack the account, seems pretty low to me. (For now.))

I guess i'm just not a fan of all this fear-mongering and speculation over relatively nothing.
