The keypoint here is, that opsec is all about character. Doing sexpartys on MDMA with random strangers does not fit together with being the superman hacker. I would be interested to know who does the real work at the torproject.
- adrusi 10y agoAre you saying that his partying put the security of the Tor project at risk? For what reason?
- mcguire 10y agoCheck the history of the term "honey trap". Thanks to Wikipedia, I have a new favorite example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu
- asr1 10y agoI mean character assassination tactics did not get invented yesterday. A lifestyle like this puts the credibility of any organisation at risk. I wonder why we even need to discuss about this. In no other field would behavior like this be considered acceptable.
- fixermark 10y agoA quick scan of history would inform you that what is not acceptable in most fields is talking about sex parties publicly. The existence of crazy parties in various industry and entertainment fields throughout history is very well-documented.
- selimthegrim 10y agoThe one exception that proves this rule that comes to mind is Jack Parsons of Caltech.

- noisefridge 10y agoYou don't know what you are talking about. Appelbaum's personality is such that he flaunts his departures from the norm for all to see. But polyamory is extremely common in the security community, as is a skeptical attitude towards the state and its war on drugs. You'll find it in the dreadlocked hacker and the married academic.
- fixermark 10y agoI think you're putting superman hackers in an unnecessarily restricted box. Everybody has a hobby. ;)
