Wasn't there something around it where it didn't make it to market after, or got bought and suppressed? I worked for someone who worked on it, and I remember his view was it got sabotaged somehow. 1993 was peak ECHELON conspiracy theory and really, that was an era of fax machines and mostly rare 300-1200baud modems. Commercially available hardware included the Cray EL90, and the Sun SPARC lines. Knowing what we do now, as a capability, even just trolling through basic fax OCR, aided by some traffic analysis, and a reduced list of potential targets (early social graph analysis), it seems plausible that a probabilistic and unreliable fishing expedition version of this existed - and then after some "limited hangout" leaks, there was also plausibly something on the traffic analysis side that detected anyone exercising any opsec capabilities at all in response to it, and then they focus workflows on those people. It's as simple as getting phone records into a Sun workstation, sending an asset into the area to a pub to spread the rumor calls are being monitored, looking for a change in behavior in the data, then focusing on whoevers records change after your asset is sent in. Not saying this happened, but if you're in the threat hunting business, it seems like a pretty obvious low cost win within the capabilities of the tech at the time.
