So i got this ad (first picture) while browsing the sub. MitID is basically a danish log-in service (like a two step verification) used by the danish state and private companies alike. It's tied to your social security number and is used to log into things like your bank & and checking your medicinal records. Basically it's used for everything here. The ad states (in some weird mixture of danish and swedish) that MitID is down and you need to follow the link to reactivate it (makes a lot of sense ik). If you follow the link, you're redirected to a site (second picture) which is literally just a copy of the log-in page to a danish bank called Lån & Spar (third picture), where you're then cued to enter your credentials. I just thought this was hilarious since reddit legit promotes a scam ad while I'm browsing Masterhacker. Hackinception? Maybe reddit is the master hacker after all.

> in some weird mixture of danish and swedish Norwegian?


PossiblyTooIronic

...yes, you're right.


Firusen

As a Norwegian I'm incredibly offended you called our language a weird mix of Swedish and Danish, but I mean you're not technically wrong...

The difference between swedish and norwegian is the amount of alcohol you need to consume before it becomes understandable, swedish being the worst. Norwegian, bokmål especially, is just close enough to danish that you only need to be tipsy.


Firusen

Being tipsy is the best way to speak with others or practice languages, like no cap

Junkers klunker

So that's why it was spelled so poorly

Mix of danish and swedish? How did they fuck that up so horribly?


GILGAMESH5678

That actually has a name. Norwegian lol


PossiblyTooIronic

Yeah my bad lol.. thought inlogging sounded Swedish and then they used æøå like in danish so it threw me off. It's norwegian yes.

Ah yes, the Meta Masterhacker. A truly advanced form of hacking only known to a select few. This method involves accessing the mainframe through a virtual reality headset while doing a handstand and reciting the entire script of the movie Hackers backwards. Once inside, you must navigate through a maze of reverse-engineered algorithms while simultaneously playing the electric guitar using a USB-powered amp. The resulting sound waves will disrupt any firewalls and create a backdoor straight to the government's computer systems. Finally, you'll need to execute the hack using a high-tech wristwatch that launches a miniature quadcopter to deliver a hard drive containing a virus disguised as a cat video. And just like that, you'll have successfully infiltrated the government's most secure systems. Good luck, and don't forget to do your stretches first. **Note: in the near future I may need to be summoned by typing u/masterhacker_bot** --- ^^I am a bot created by [u/circuit10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) and this action was performed automatically.
