Hoodie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 on a related note, for anyone who says that the cables didn't release anything important or interesting, check this one out: http://wikileaks.ch/cable/2009/06/09KABUL1651.html apparently, the united states actively tried to cover up an incident where a us company, dyncorp, facilitated the purchase of young children for sex in afganistan. i had no idea that this happened, let alone that the united states tried to cover it up. dyncorp has done the same in other countries too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DynCorp#Involvement_in_child_sex_slave_traffic fucked up, man.

lumpenprol Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 It's well known that the FBI monitors 4chan, especially the /b/ board. of that I'm sure, but I mean, I bet they have spies deep inside anon. How would anon be able to background check all of their hackers anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcinsu Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Aren't they all anonymous though? Isn't that the point? It's not like a member registration thing... you are in it, if you say you are. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Aren't they all anonymous though? Isn't that the point? It's not like a member registration thing... you are in it, if you say you are. ? moot has handed over ip addresses in the past to law enforcement, so your identity isn't really protected. however, i think the major implication of the fbi monitoring 4chan is that they know where all those pesky ddos attacks are coming from.

The FRONTLINE facebook page brought that to my attention yesterday, they've done a episode on the practice before. Though it's not specific to this incident.

kcinsu Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 well one would assume that the hackers in anon, would be hiding their true IP, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 well one would assume that the hackers in anon, would be hiding their true IP, no? when conducting a ddos attack? yes. to simply post on 4chan? i don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would anon be able to background check all of their hackers anyway? Having a spy/spies deep inside anon wouldn't make a lick of difference, they make their goals pretty well known. well one would assume that the hackers in anon, would be hiding their true IP, no? when conducting a ddos attack? yes. to simply post on 4chan? i don't think so.

psn Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 regardless, i find that story very worrying. this could be where the decentralised nature of the organisation comes back to bite them in the ass. Specifically, midlevel WikiLeaks staffers have been mostly cut off from communicating with hundreds of volunteers whose contact information was stored in Assange’s private online-messaging accounts, and never shared with others. On the contrary, it is the centralized model that is biting them in the ass now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 yeah the latest twitter postings have been decreasing and sound a bit more undecided than before. But that could also be a subjective impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wikileaks Cable Shows US Involvement in Swedish Anti-Piracy Efforts A yet to be released cable from the US Embassy in Stockholm will reveal that the United States Government was very concerned about file-sharing related issues in Sweden. The US Embassy actively worked with the Swedish authorities to reduce file-sharing related threats, which included The Pirate Bay which was raided in 2006 following US pressure. http://torrentfreak.com/wikileaks-cable-shows-us-involvement-in-swedish-anti-piracy-efforts-101207/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
