Originally posted by Lanny yes, surely the youth would be in such better shape if they just used shittier slower computers with outdated software.
you're being sarcastic but I actually believe people would be more inclined to properly understand what they're doing if they were forced to use the terminal -

Has WikiLeaks already 'mined' all the best stories?
No. WikiLeaks has intentionally not written up hundreds of impactful stories to encourage others to find them and so create expertise in the area for subsequent parts in the series. They're there. Look. Those who demonstrate journalistic excellence may be considered for early access to future parts. -

2017-03-08 at 2:52 AM UTC in BREAKING: CIA turned every Microsoft Windows PC in the world into spyware. Can activate backdoors on demand, including via Windows updateFair, but he's been remarkably inconsistent when it comes to that. I guess a lot of it depends on how he views their current attacks against him - whether they're a tool being used by people who want to attack him or dangerous and uncontrollable by design.
It's also interesting that a large volume of Trump supporters seem to support the betabet soup agencies unconditionally - there will be a large split between 'small government' constitutionalists and 'america firsters' in the Trump camp, so the path to alienate the least of his followers would probably be to make a spectacle of it that gives the illusion of justice without making any real change.
Though... He's not stupid. I suspect he knows people would see through that, especially the people who voted him in on the basis of 'cleaning up' or even just 'shaking up' the political system. -

2017-03-08 at 2:28 AM UTC in What type of assault rifle should I buy?you mean a drum magazine?
as far as I know magazines are only restricted in some places by the number of rounds they hold, not their type or construction. -

Can activate backdoors on demand, including via Windows updatewhether you agree with him or not, he's gone a lot further in trying to realise his election promises than any other politician I can think of.
I'm not saying he necessarily will, by the way - I'm saying that he now has what he needs to do it, so the world will see how committed he is.
The best outcome is a new Church Commission, ideally reigning in the intelligence agencies and potentially laying criminal charges against the intelligence heads.
The more likely outcome is this being used as leverage to quietly push out Obama's holdovers, replacing them with Trump-friendly managers and business continues as usual.
I have very little faith in the public initiating a push against the intelligence establishment. -

2017-03-08 at 1:05 AM UTC in BREAKING: CIA turned every Microsoft Windows PC in the world into spyware. Can activate backdoors on demand, including via Windows updateThere is some important new information in there, but for the most part, it just reinforces what we already knew as a result of previous leaks such as Snowden and Binney. It gives concrete evidence and examples of their internal operations that we had to take on good faith previously.
I'll post a more detailed thread once I've read more of it but I think there are two major political points here:
1. Trump now has what he needs to prove how committed he is to 'draining the swamp'.
2. The evidence of direct attacks against so-called allies in the European Union is sure to cement Le Pen's victory and stir up even more anti-EU sentiment, leading to more right-wing and nationalist governments and hastening the collapse of the union. -
2017-03-08 at 1 AM UTC in Is there any proof that Russia was behind the email hacking?
Originally posted by SBTlauien What I read is that a certain cyber security firm that would only benefit greatly by saying that this particular hack by Russia happened, said that it happened but wasn't able to provide any proof what-so-ever.
I think it would have exploded by now if it did actually happen.
sort of. I read the initial crowdstrike report from when the DNC servers got owned; they basically said that the techniques, attack vector and VPN/VPS service the attacks were staged from were consistent with another group (FancyBears) that they believe to be FSB/GRU. FancyBears have never been proven to have government ties and have denied it publicly.
In short - the attack was similar to an attack mounted by a group they believe to be linked to the Russian government without any factual basis. This was the initial report that the 'Russian involvement' story was based on.
I said at the time that it seemed to me that there was a definite trend of security companies attributing attacks to 'state actors' based on weak or no evidence - a sort of way to deflect their own failures; they try to give the impression that 'it's not our fault, how are we supposed to stop an adversary with so much training and funding?' to stop their clients from dropping them. -
