The crusade of “ continuesStrip The News" against the Big Brother. Yesterday, Valerio Staffelli returned to talk about possible manipulations of the televoting, perhaps manipulated by fandoms.
The correspondent of Striscia collected some testimonies and the expert in web and television dynamics, Marco Dianda, also confirmed how Fandoms would manipulate televoting through the use of email accounts present on the dark web and stolen from unsuspecting citizens. Here's what one girl said: “there is a list of emails with their stolen passwords. We have access to files containing tens of thousands of addresses, some with 20 thousand emails, others with 90 thousand and even 250 thousand. To avoid being discovered, these emails are registered on the Big Brother website, the verification received is confirmed and then the tracks are erased. It is an illegal practice because credentials belonging to other people are used., literally stolen. The more these email packages are exploited, the greater the impact on the vote.”
