...weird, indeed. Since the OP published the article implying such a grand circumstance, and commented "I assure you it was not posted publicly by any of us. Newly created URL and link c/p to fb chat.", I believe that there are still a few basic questions in order, in any case: 1. What "link generation" program was the OP using? Is it possible this program streamed its output through something like Pastebin - without the explicit knowledge of the OP - and if so, can we verify this is the case by following up with an example? 2. Can the representative from Recorded Future comment on whether or not this site, Pastebin, is being monitored? Thanks all, for what we'd surely hope to be a trivial, if unusual, case of software being stealthy...
