hackandtrip··on Amazon warehouse workers 'peed in bottles' fearing punishment for taking breaks
Even if the bottle story could be an hyperbole, the work conditions for manual work are well known to be sub standard. Italian news [0] already got some articles where employers criticize the conditions. Nothing like peeing in a bottle, but the problem remains and all the comments made here are still valid.

https://keepass.info/ratings.html

As you can read on the keepassXC site, an audit checks only a limited snapshot of code. You can have flaws in the implementations on in plug-ins, for example in the http KeePass plugin (https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp/issues/258).

The Keepassxc-Browser plugin works really great and has security improvements if you compare it to the old Http plugin that you used to connect the database to the browser.

What it's still missing is the possibility to have (almost) concurrent edit on the database, if you sync that on the cloud. Talking about the KeepassXC browser, they are close to a release where multiple users will be able to edit the database without breaking everything.

hackandtrip··on The Follower Factory
Devumi is a reseller. Services they use are near 0.1/1000 follower, even less, with pool of 200k+ users per Services, 3/4 pools (just use Google, for Facebook many are even real, collect tokens is fairly easy). And people that sell these services at those prices, are reseller themselves using API to control those bots, in really EVERY services you think about (even telegram); revenue made by likes/etc may be really a small part, just think about the power in elections + the the really small price
hackandtrip··on On the Darknet, Reputation Is Everything
No one trust the reviews written on the site. They could be easily faked, along with reputation, in most (all, in different ways) DarkNetMarkets. You have to research on communities (on the "white" web, reddit for example) where each sellers has feedback, and famous ones got their products verified by indipendent company.
