Soooooo, reading someone's password then using it is "hacking" now?
Yours,
Schwim, Master Hacker
Yeah, much of "hacking" is lamer than the movies show.
Rami Malek did a decent job of making "real hacking" look cool in Mr Robot
That was mostly the production crew who took a lot of time to use real hacks and UIs to recreate them live.
I was moreso getting at the social engineering bits. But yea the writing and production was well done for sure!
If you can read, you’re now a hacker. Which means a good percentage of Trump voters can’t hack.
Bro, I just hacked MYSELF
Bro.
Bro
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something because no one here has mentioned the obvious:
Did we acquire the full unredacted set of his emails ?
Seriously, wouldn't this be kind of huge news if we suddenly had access to the evidence they tried to hide? Too bad this is a news article and someone probably changed the password by now.
There's no news on it and I have to assume it's because if that is the full unredacted email there's probably a ton of CSAM. If so it's technically illegal to own and anyone who is downloading it might be opening themselves up to arrest or legal challenges, even if they're a journalist.
I would presume IF this is a full release of the Epstein GMail account, and IF it's not a honeypot op of some kind from CIA/IDF/SVR/whoever, and IF it's legit... then this is big. Nearly all American news orgs have been gutted though, and I doubt any billionaire that owns the news orgs would be ok with having their wealthy cohort exposed.
Whoever might be investigating this would almost certainly keep quiet until all of their ducks are in a row because the second they publish, they're going to be arrested for CSAM. Unless they're in a country with no extradition treaty with the US. And even then they'll be subject to extraordinary rendition cause Trump don't care about US law, why would the lack of an extradition treaty stop him?
It's ridiculous that evidence of the crimes they committed is going to be used to arrest anyone who tries to uncover evidence of who committed those crimes. By ridiculous I don't mean I don't think it will happen. I think you are right about that.
I mean, I know there are some people who would definitely do the wrong thing and that's why it needed to be released carefully to avoid this kind of mess and why normally this kind of digging would be done by the government or trusted investigators, but it's troublesome because the established power structure (regardless of party) are some of the same people who committed these crimes and we clearly can't trust them to do the right thing.
From what I remember, the guy said that not much was left and most of the emails were deleted
Nobody hacked anything
People found account credentials and tried using them. Nothing nhogh tech here
Hunter2
All I can see is *******
yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
So every other child rapist's name gets redacted but they can't even do a scan for passwords?
Apparently the word “don’t” can also be found redacted.
Because they did a regex for Don(.)T and didn’t bother to check
They were so busy hunting for the rapists they completely forgot about passwords......or we've got some decent folks weaponizing "incompetence"
I'm convinced they used AI to redact everything, and didn't double back and check them until after a particular page made headlines.
I've seen numerous videos where they program a script to remove the 5-6 different ways "redactions" were added and they make no sense from a technical stand point, leaving me to believe that someone non-technical told AI exactly how they wanted to redact, and then put those files in their outbox.
They uploaded the Bash 3.3 reference manual and even that had some redactions so your theory is almost definitely correct
Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn't have it honestly
If they'd stop talking about Linux or posting furry porn for a minute they would.
/s
No /s needed here
I love us
Thanks but I’d much rather see furry porn and Linux BS over here at pawb. If you want Epstein and his CSAM, you’re free to keep it over there at .world.
Didn’t the Maxwell mod come back to life a few weeks ago?
Edit - no
The mods have posted a followup about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1qwt4pb/epstein_deleted_posts_and_our_thoughts_moving/
Did anyone scrape and archive the contents?
was this the jmail thing?
No.
jmail is just taking the existing released documents and putting them into a gmail looking thing.
What is jmail, like "jewMail"
Might a reddit mod/admin be trying to delay the discovery of their name on a list?
Since I got banned for saying that the current CEO was a mod for r/jailbait... I'm guessing it could be related. Just a guess.
For those that are fortunate enough to not know... r/jailbait is for posts depicting women that look so young they could get you in prison if you liked looking at them... Ala "jailbait"...
Are you a bot?
It was for pictures of clearly underage girls that were dressed provacatively or doing suggestive poses.
