    I suspect the reason it spread so easily was that people wanted to believe.

      I think the fact that people have been located through even more obscure methods helped spread the lie. Remember when 4chan located a flag via Shia LaBeouf’s twitter and plane contrails. Somebody fucking up infosec with a pizza box is honestly quite believable.
