That seems WILDLY unprovable. Tell me; how did The Daily Beast, an org that has Chelsea Clinton on their board, get the external IP addresses of the Russian Intellegence headquarters?

  Did I post something incorrect? Do you want to explain who maintains the current and past list of external IP addresses belonging to Russian Intel?

    You are not as anonymous as you think when you are online - An IP address can easily identify a particular office in a government building There are many, many cases where a journalist has tracked down specific wikipedia edits to a particular office or intranet in a government building all from their IP address You can find a ton of stories with a quick google search: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/government-wikipedia-edit-scandal-grows-beyond-hillsborough-as-more-changes-emerge-9291988.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/government-w... https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/investigation-into-offensive-wikipedia-edits-made-by-public-servants-staffers-20161026-gsassd.html https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/investigation-into-o...

      Yep. I agree - it's pretty easy to slip up and public IPs are fairly easy to monitor. It reminds me of this project https://github.com/edsu/anon https://github.com/edsu/anon which "lets you tweet about anonymous Wikipedia edits from particular IP address ranges" You can see it working at Congress Edits - https://twitter.com/congressedits https://twitter.com/congressedits
