Via #LLRX - @psuPete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, June 15, 2025. llrx.com/2025/06/pete-recommen
Four highlights from this week: Protect Yourself #Online; Study: #OpenAI Has Been #Breached More Than 1000 Times; #Feds warn: Hang up on #phone #scammers pretending to be #borderpatrol agents; and #Cybercriminals Are Hiding #Malicious #Web Traffic in Plain Sight. #cybercrime #cybersecurity #breaches #internet #malicious

Got spam emails this morning by someone who opened an issue on GitHub with what was probably a very unsafe link and then just tagged dozens of users over and over and over. Why we needed 50 copies in a row of the same notification, IDK. Thankfully, the account is terminated already, but if this starts to be a regular thing, I might have to abandon GitHub altogether.

Does anyone know of a reliable reverse image search site equal to Google or better?

I'm going to tell you exactly what my use-case scenario is:

I use reverse search to catch scammers on dating platforms. See scammers often steal the pictures they put in their profile from various websites.

Sometimes those pictures are pornographic in nature. I've recently noticed that Google no longer allow reverse searching for porn. Actually, it also rejects pictures of people clad in swimsuits.

I don't know of any setting I can change. Every week, I got scammers tossed off platforms using this method. However, I can no longer do this, due to Google's ongoing enshittification efforts.
