I've had similar problems, which I posed earlier here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29749715

Sadly, no. I only have 2 digits on my email to form a pattern. As said in the post, the guy whose bank statements I received had 5-6 more characters than my name, and didn't even have a number in it.

I've never had such a problem before. My email is just not simply "darshit", but also has a couple of digits. Among the people whose mail I received, one of the guy's email had 6 characters more than mine, and totally unrelated.

We are on the educated side of the internet populace. I can only imagine worse things when this happens to the non-educated, especially in developing countries like India, where almost everyone has an (mobile) internet connection these days.

It's interesting to think about how the very basis of our internet identities, that is the email, can be so easily abused by someone who has bad intent.

In my undergraduate final year project, we used a "variation" of SSS called Thien-Lin Secret Sharing to enable bank locker security! Glad to see SSS being shared here!

I'm curious if the same can be done via an Excel .xls or .xlsx file

I recently applied for the Backend engineer role in Sofia, but received a reply that you require trial work with a candidate before hiring and it would be expensive for SumUp to invite applications from abroad. How will someone get a visa unless you hire them? Seems a conundrum, and I'd like to know if it's the same case here

Are you open to sponsoring a Visa?

Understood! Thanks for explaining!

Oh, ok

> This is what happened when one bad web server decided it was going to fail all of its requests, and would do so while incurring the absolute minimum amount of load on itself.

Good ELI5 explanation, but it doesn't really explain why the webserver failed the requests as it did. Or maybe I'm missing something?
