EICAR Password Frustration

If you make me create an account to check the status of something on your site, my username is [object Object] and my password is X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS- TEST-FILE!$H+H* Now we're both unhappy. Great job.

A dark-mode social media post gives a website a deliberately invalid username and the EICAR antivirus test string as a password when forced to create an account just to check a status. The punchline is that the site’s unnecessary registration frustrates the user, who responds by entering data designed to cause problems or trigger antivirus detection.
