KGB did not use or believe in polygraphs. Always found that an interesting comparison to American intelligence.

I would be cautious of using Tor in general. I hate saying this considering I don't have anything else to offer in its place, but looking into the history of Tor...is interesting. The part the US Navy plays in developing it is only a s

This is the only good book I've found on the topic. A high school textbook from 2003: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590704843 The show "How It's Made" is helpful. Also if you li

OpenSSL recently passed a change in their vuln announcement policy to give a major firm, which everyone here knows I think, 7 days advance notice of any zero-day that they were made aware of. This was the engineer who helped set up the new

This is a fair point, but we have seen "faux" shutdowns before of Chinese companies abroad. A good example of this would be Zoom, which was shutdown but then suddenly not in 2019. I have personally spoken to the CEO, Eric Yuan, ab

That is a fair question. My answer is in the absence of evidence, or even any claim that Google specifically makes that X got hired because of Y Google Program and now works at Z. I worked with two good reporters to look into this. There is

Google has tried to do this before and gotten good press with as far as I can tell close to 0 results [1]. Their last program was basically just "office hours" on how to use Google Analytics in libraries across beset former rust b

I had a look at some of the data posted about this leak between reporters and researchers. A few highlights: 1. The FBI does appear to have been a subscriber to Mr. Troia's services. Two FBI emails to agents appear among the list of su

There have been rumors that people are being permanently held in Corecivic prisons, where all their communications are monitored via Securus Technologies. Of course the guards don't know, they're good people...they are just told s

The NSA was something like 50 miles away from where this data was being hosted. It could have all been hosted in the much better / actually CJIS compliant Azure South at 5150 Rogers Road. That some random hosting company Netsential, no

My concern is similar to yours. By hacking and subverting everything, the NSA paved the way / "presented a picture of what was possible" to rogue foreign governments. The US was unprepared for this, and once it was realized,

Let us not forget the Netsential leak from #BlueLeaks a few weeks ago. Netsential.com [1] was a Houston-based software dev, hosting, and cloud provider. I lived most of my life in Houston, and they are loosely connected to an old ISP called

One thing people don't realize about the BLM and the Department of the Interior in general is that they maintain the world's largest airforce. This Airforce exists mainly as a mountain rescue and forest firefighting unit(s). Also,

Yes that's correct. Counterintelligence goes through cycles. Sometimes it produces the best, sometimes it's a point where the worst are parked in. For background, Vladimir Putin is a little unusual in that he studied at an academy

Again, I just saw your reply from earlier, after I made this post. I am reading and thinking now. I've also promised to make no further comments, except maybe reasonable questions in a limited follow up, and then drop it. That being sa

To be clear, I would probably wait a few days. Daniel Grackle responded to the very last comment I made some time ago. Reading and digesting now. Off the cuff, it does seem strange that a new hosting provider hasn't been looked for a w

What is this? I have been investigating the suspicious hosting company behind this whole nonsense for a while. YCombinator's expansion into China as well as its connections with Reddit have made me consider giving up, because now like

If you see this post before the inbound bots come and give it a -4 downvote, M5 Hosting controls this. It's a front company. They have something like 30 names, only 7 employees who can be inferred every really worked at the company + a

Can we also get (I mean this respectfully) a specific answer from YCombinator on who exactly hosts the news.ycombinator.com website? It appears to be the little heard of and quite hard to track down "M5 Security Solutions" also kn

I have an electric stove. My neighbor has a gas stove. Everyone says gas is better. It does get warmer faster + works when the power is out. Then again, my house won't blow up. This seems like a major win. However recently my neighbor

Most of the funeral industry has been bought out by private equity interestingly. A single firm, Providence Equity, now controls most of the "Death Care" industry in the US. Also yes that is the official term. https://p

I would suspect that CanYa is behind this change. They I believe acquired BountySource two years ago, and probably just enough of the old guard has left for them to push this change through internally. Not sure what the motive would be thou

Not surprising. University of Texas has something like 55,000 subdomains. I don't think 50 full time sysadmins/cybersecurity people could keep that secure. Also interesting of note, why does UTexas's name servers point to Uni
