Hello All. This is a must read for everyone on this platform. As you know, the left constantly attacks this platform with DDOS attempts, falsely negative app store reviews, fake sign ups to troll the platform, and even personal death threats to yours truly via email. All that is easily dealt with but today was the ABSOLUTE WORST attack on our platform since our launch in 8/2020.Around 11:50 AM EST, a user with a verifiable Verizon Wireless IP address, proceeded to upload legitimate, graphic child pornography to their profile. Some 20 photos were uploaded at once. Every single photo was criminal in nature, and absolutely the most horrifying thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot in my days. We have certain securities that trip our warnings systems so we were on them in a matter of less than 2 minutes. We immediately removed the photos, preserved them for law enforcement and banned their access to the platform. We then, after tracing their IP address, immediately contacted Verizon Business abuse via email. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a return email back from Verizon within 5 minutes while I was on the phone reporting the incident to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children whom contact law enforcement upon receiving the information. The NCMEC have incredible resources and work closely with law enforcement and are the best entity we know of to report these crimes to. They get law enforcement on these matters far more rapidly than anyone else because of their history with them, and resources provided to them by federal authorities. The outcome, albeit still horrifically bad for the exploited children, was a good one in terms of us knowing this person or people are currently in the process of being apprehended. By us providing the source ip address, source ports, destination ip address, destination ports, log files and photos to law enforcement, these individuals do not stand a chance in Court and we were promised very swift and severe action. While I do not yet know the motivation for today, the left is synonymous with exploiting children, child pornography and promoting sex on minors. Simply just see Disney, the new SCOTUS Justice's history on dealing lightly and apologetically to pedophiles, woke teachers, and the left's bills to change those otherwise known as pedophile criminals to "Minor Attracted Persons." These are abhorrent people and are the main reasons I have zero tolerance for the left. We need your help. Surely, not all leftists are deranged, child sex criminals but ultimately, their views and voting habits do show they support them. It's absolutely disgusting, has Wimkin staff fully enraged, and heartbroken for these children we saw in these photos today. If you wish to help protect Wimkin and children in tandem and advance our growth and shared values, please always do the following: 1) Immediately report anything that exploits minors to Wimkin staff by using platform tools provided to you; 2) For real time emergency reporting, contact us at www.wimkinhelp.com; 3) Please go to your app stores where you downloaded us and provide us with a 5 star review to counteract the plethora of fake one-stars that stifle our growth; 4) Stay diligent and always be on the lookout for these world's worst people and make sure we know about them the moment you see something. We are livid yet saddened to have to report what transpired today to you, but together, we can make a difference and prevent future crime. Thank you. ❤ 🙏 ❤
