Laughed out loud with the “Customer support tried to flirt with me when attempting to report the issue”, “I want to be your gf, you very smart” lol the print looks like Kik Messenger?


Glad to hear you enjoyed it, it was a messenger called "Line"


Ah nice! This brings back memories. I think this is a very popular messenger app in SEA region?


Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong mostly.

SEA used a mix of messaging app, where Whatsapp > Line.


We believe the gambling ring is based in Indonesia, which is uncommon to use Line, but they seem to be using it here for all of their customer support across all sites.


Not really used in Hong Kong that much anymore apart from a small subset of people (WhatsApp is king). It's also heavily used in Thailand.


They must have trained their customer support AI with a database stolen from dating sites.


Can't blame a company for trying to make their AI charismatic :D


I feel like we need more followup, so come on, dish! Where are you taking her for that first date?


This is the best reply to a vulnerability disclosure I have ever seen so far. Wow.

"Your firebase allows anyone to read information"

"i want to be your gf"


TBH, that's still better than most of my interactions with customer support when I tried to report bugs. In most cases, they just don't have a script for this and have no idea what to do about it, even if I manage to convince them it's the app that's wrong, not me.


yeah that must be some weird ai thats misused here


Must've used the twitch chat dataset


I'm either very old or very western. What is duckling with bat communicating here?

edit: oh wait. Did it hit itself with the bat?


It has an "angry vein" on its head, it's threatening (someone) with the bat.

I have no idea what they're trying to communicate lol. In my experience Line stickers are often used the same way "huh" is, when you don't know wtf else to say but you'd like to terminate the conversation somehow.
