I'm a Hacker.

I attend DEF CON every year.

We play a fun game called "Spot the Fed".

Last week, the Department of Justice released three million pages of Epstein documents.

I read them professionally.

Not for the names.

For the tradecraft.

The tradecraft is immaculate.

But here's what made me put down my coffee.

An FBI informant told authorities in 2017 that Epstein had a "personal hacker."

An Italian.

Born in the southern region of Calabria.

I've met hackers from Calabria.

At DEF CON.

At Black Hat.

The informant said this hacker developed zero-day exploits.

For iOS.

For BlackBerry.

For Firefox.

The informant said this hacker sold the exploits to the United States.

To the United Kingdom.

To an unnamed central African government.

And to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah paid with "a trunk of cash."

That's not how the US government pays.

The US government uses purchase orders.

But the exploits were the same.

Same zero-days.

Different payment methods.

Different clients.

Same hacker.

Speaking of hackers in Epstein's emails.

If you've been to Black Hat, you know the name.

He's on the Black Hat conference board.

He co-founded Trail of Bits.

He co-wrote the iOS Hacker's Handbook.

On April 14, 2018, the hackersent an email.

To jeevacation@gmail.com.

That's Epstein's personal email address.

Subject line: "New Yorker."
