#TwitterNews #SpamNews: #TwitterAbuser got robbed

Nov 14, 2015 16:21

I don't often get to write anything positive about the cyberstalker Mike Broemmel, and this isn't going to be an exception, although this case isn't entirely focused on him. What I've found handy in tracking his abuse has been the fact he spams his ubercode across every single one of his abusive accounts. He may not make the accounts specifically to abuse, but he does use them all for that anyway, and as the ubercode is on his main account too, tweeted at the exact same times as his abusive accounts, it's worked out well in proving the abuse comes directly from him.

However other accounts periodically steal his ubercodes and tweet them for their own purposes. The way I can tell the other accounts aren't his is they only tweet the code once, or not multiple times back to back like he does on his numerous accounts.


The accounts at the top are his, a small number of his Theatrix accounts. He has hundreds of them, about 271 at last count, and he defends this by saying they're for different locations of his work. Though that doesn't explain why he has 2 Denver accounts with slightly different spellings: theater/theatre.

Account on the bottom of that isn't his, it took his ubercode and then replaced the link with one of its own. Which is its pattern, because looking at the account directly shows it's stealing tweets from numerous people but replacing their links to one of its own.


Or sometimes adding its own link while keeping originals from the tweets it steals. This is a bot account which, for whatever reason, is spamming that baby video incessently.

Since I've been tracking Mike Broemmel's ubercode spamming, I've seen this happen before, with his other ubercodes. Once from a taxi company, another time from a cow account promoting milk products. There's likely been more as I don't monitor the code constantly, only when I'm checking it to prove another of his abusive accounts was doing something, for a filed report to Twitter.

If I were to criticize Mike Broemmel for more of his own accounts spamming that code, it would be a matter of timing.


Now, honestly, who wishes people a Happy Halloween on the 1st of November?

ubertheatrix, ubercodes
