Not to complain or disagree but simply just to say, I'd really like if there were also an additional separate recurring thread just like what is described here but without the focus on the technicalities of baking etc. A lounge, for discussion and research and camaraderie. The general does that too but with a certain sense of urgency in everything and it can be fleeting especially when Q's posted recently. In the same way that Kitchen Meta is generalized but focused, let's say, General threads are markedly unfocused. It's a relevant for staying up to date, current event, bickering or shitposting or funposting or whatever. But wouldn't it be nice if there was also another type of thread that combined the two, a place for deeper dives as well as broad conversation, not so slow or restrictive as threads dedicated to any singular topic but slower and chiller than General? Just a thought. Overall 8kun is great just the way it is and I'm so thankful for it.

The leaked campaign to attack WikiLeaks and its supporters

The leaked campaign to attack WikiLeaks and its supporters

Aaron Barr, a top executive at computer security firm HB Gary.

 

(updated below - Update II [Sat.])

 

There's a very strange episode being widely discussed the past couple of days involving numerous parties, including me, that I now want to comment on. The story, first reported by The Tech Herald, has been written about in numerous places (see Marcy Wheeler, Forbes, The Huffington Post, BoingBoing, Matt Yglesias, Reason, Tech Dirt, and others), so I'll provide just the summary.

 

Last week, Aaron Barr, a top executive at computer security firm HB Gary Federal, boasted to the Financial Times that his firm had infiltrated and begun to expose Anonymous, the group of pro-WikiLeaks hackers that had launched cyber attacks on companies terminating services to the whistleblowing site (such as Paypal, MasterCard, Visa, Amazon and others). In retaliation, Anonymous hacked into the email accounts of HB Gary, published 50,000 of their emails online, and also hacked Barr's Twitter and other online accounts.

That tactic they devised to cancel WL is eerilyโ€ฆ the exact same thing, basicallyโ€ฆ we've seen Big Tech & the media deploy increasingly throughout the years since then. Blueprint?
