bold of you to assume the CIA needs physical proximity
- jeffrallen 2y agoNo, but the FBI does. One time in a data center in Ashburn I read the label on a box in a mysterious cage, and it said WYLTK, LLC. WYLTK means "wouldn't you like to know". I did want to know, and discovered that it's a front for the FBI.
- gunian 2y agodoes it though? narratives can always be spun, enemies crafted, and people killed such is the way of the world no matter how much we pretend to live in a different reality was it cool FBI at least? one of the many nodes for aggregating data perchance or same old SSO
- thefrozenone 2y agoHow did you find out? (If you're able to share)
- jeffrallen 2y agoOpen source intelligence. From the ASN to IP ranges, and onwards to old messages on mailing lists, where the headers leaked the fact that the person sent email from WYLTK, and the person was publicly associated with the FBI by way of speaking gigs.
- melody_calling 2y agoThat's hilarious. For anyone else wondering, it's AS27612 and the registered address is mentioned online -- unsurprisingly -- as the "CALEA Implementation Unit".
- snowwrestler 2y agoAlso bold to assume anyone working at Langley would think going to Ashburn is “convenient.” :-)
