Hi Ludwig
It's more serious than that, LibreSilicon is right now under a social engineering attack in the Kevin Mitnick style, and I'm afraid that some folks might not be enough resilient against such psychological manipulation.
It's not about malware, it's strategic. There's a guy who wants to tap into the NLNet funds, some of our team members have received.
For this purpose, he's trying to deface our project and lure our team members into groups, like the "libresilicon" group on keybase, which he has created and holds the administration rights, which is totally NOT OK, because he's not an active member of the team, nor did we ever give him the job to create such a group with this name.
I also found out, that he's trying to convince people, that "I wouldn't be suitable for the leading role at LibreSilicon", which shows me that he's scared of me, because I'm a sociopath which means that conning doesn't work with me, and also, that he doesn't understand how our project is working.
Anyway. After he tried to sell me that he could bring online a fiber line, which doesn't exist (which was a trap I had set for him), and asked for 38 Euros upfront, I blocked him on Skype and banned him from the mailing list, as well as his buddy Lawson English.
BTW: Also avoid a guy with the name Lawson English.
Cheers -lev

Do thevscamers receive email and read it? If so you might send them links to malware infested sites. Having qubes-os I dont care for malware, as if it gets exploited, it is only a vm based on a template.
So this would be a way to deal with the problem, just refer them to their friends.
Cheers
Ludwig.
BTW how is youe corona panic level?

Hello The only interaction we should have with Meriks "LibreSilicon" channels on keybase.io and jit.si is to report it as abuse to the responsible admins, because he's abusing our project name for his scamming scheme. I'll probably do that right away with keybase.

Hello Everyone,
I "just" received (actually on Apr. 13, but I did not log in to my
since then, so I just read) a notification from "Keybase" that
"Lawson
English" invited me to a "libresilicon" team. Did anyone got
similar
mail, or can anyone confirm if it is not a scam?
That's a keybase.io "libresilicon" team created and owned by Merik Voswinkel, so whether or not this is a scam depends on Merik. At the moment, I'm in that team and was even given enough rights to cancel your team invitation.
BTW: @David: I wasn't in Jitsi (sorry for that), can you please
wrap up
shortly what the heck happened?
I'll defer my decision how active I want to participate in this keybase team until I have a better idea what the heck is happening.
Regards, Ferenc
