The great wall of Orleans... Living abroad, I've been embarrassed by my french passport for a number of years. Our reputation sucks, for a reason.

HackerNews doesn't get charged for DoS'ing under-provisioned web servers either. As others have said, there must be a line between hack attempts and accidents.

It amazes me how compartmented the mind of the West is: the "protector of Democracy" is barely conscient of its own lies... There is no democracy, barely an illusion of one.

If adding something to the context doesn't help, it's only proves you're not adding the right stuff.

I'm adding pointers to specification documents, and it saves me from the /new dumb coding agent that sees your code base for the first time and knows nothing about architecture, concepts, code organisation, etc...

I'm using no cookie cutter directives though (except maybe "do not attempt to deploy, we're using CI CD to deploy" to avoid an automatic "wrangler deploy" to Cloudflare)

I've added support for an adhoc list in addition to the list I'm getting from the disposables... so now it's recognised as a throwaway address.

Well it's blocking the second one. You can't win them all.

As I've said in another comment, I'm offering a free cyber security assessment tool online and 22% of people use a disposable address, meaning they remain anonymous yet they have me scan the internet for vulnerabilities. They're not protecting themselves from me, they're protecting themselves from the consequences of their actions.

You could have asked me what reasonable use cases exist.

There are extremely valid use cases for anonymity in B2C, most likely none in B2B.

Let me explain: I'm operating a free cyber security service and 22% of users use a disposable emails. 22% of emails bouncing is not a TINY inconvenience. Hackers using my service incognito isn't a TINY inconvenience. If you're hiding your identity, I can't offer a safer internet to everyone.

I respect your disgust, and I feel the same towards your entitlement and presumptions.

I'll fix the percentage, it's 0.01%.
