The basically found right person in a database leak (which can be considered open source) and then verified their hypothesis by doing probiv, which is not open source, but is available for anybody with some money for the right person.
- pvg 8y agowhich can be considered open source How can it be considered open source? None of the reports (from several publications) involving the passport applications have identified the source.
- catskul2 8y agoThe method of investigation was to use (mostly) open available sources. There's a name collision where "open source" means something different in intelligence and reporting than it does for software and technology.
- pvg 8y agoI don't see how the 'name collision' is related. It wasn't a fully open source investigation and one particular key source, which the comment I replied to called 'open' is very much not open.
