    But it has 10k impressions!!! which means that 9k bots scrolled past it and a couple of people had it loaded on their app.

      Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

      I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring

    I don’t understand the point the posts are trying to make. If an attacker can get at the SQL database, they must have remote access, i.e. the system is compromised somehow. What’s stopping them from getting at anything else? Why should we concerned about the database specifically?
