Today no one knows what Jia Tan looks like. That means Jia Tan come back as Gary Smith and work on the next exploit. If we knew what he looked like, we could have at least prevented him from coming back.
- not2b 3y agoJia Tan might be more than one person.
- breadwinner 3y agoRequiring him/her to show their face might have prevented that.
- saagarjha 3y agoWhy? Just have one person show up and everyone else funnel the work through their account.
- kelseydh 3y agoOn open source projects you can vet people based on whether you can personally identify them as real people. Moving forward be suspicious of anonymity for core contributions.
- not2b 3y agoDebian does things that way, their developers have to get their key signed by other developers, and a DD who signs someone's key is supposed to check ID. But there's no similar protection for their upstream.
- xcrunner529 3y agoAnd using a freaking VPN for everything. Definitely more vetting is needed.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThat's still one named person the police can go after, a good starting point for investigation into the criminal network. Also, that's still one named person that no one would like to end up being, so that alone acts as a deterrent.
