In December 2012, I did something utterly stupid. I found a leaked email list of all attendees of the World Conference on International Telecommunications and gave them my uncensored thoughts on the dangers of a closed and censored internet.
Received back like 30 non-deliveries, same amount of vacation replies confirming to me that they would be at the attendance (good social engineer hack, I suppose), and zero substantive replies.
I assume I'm definitely on a list for several govts since it went out to US/European, Middle East, and Asian govt officials as well as the heads of several private companies.
But now I see I won them all over...I did this.
- sentenza 13y agoCertainly. This explains it all. But more seriously, don't worry. If you are on any list, it's one for activists and the like. At least, whenever you have problems crossing a border or experience "curious behavior" of your computer in the future, you have an explanation. It might console you that there are a lot of people out there that are on lists and don't have the slightest clue. I'm thinking of IT-employees in European/Asian infrastructure companies whose personal access will be attacked should an interested player want to hijack/scrape something running on that infrastructure (as happened in the Belgacom hack).
