Relaunch of upgraded & improved @torstorm_org service in process. Stay tuned...

Anyone able to surface this #TortureFiles situation with #OpFunKill & others active in this space? (perhaps #OpKillingBay?) Thanks in advance!

Happy to announce that AltToken.online is open for business! Proud reseller of @cryptostorm_is VPN access tokens.

Theremin's "Thing" is a timeless reminder that imagination & creativity deliver breakthroughs impossible to produce through application of money &/or manpower alone. (also that clever attacks can hide in plain sight, undetected & ignored; orthogonal vectors ftw) cc @thegrugq

"In a report published yesterday by cyber-security firm ESET, the company details 21 "new" Linux malware families. All operate in the same manner, as trojanized versions of the OpenSSH client." Oldie, but goodie. zdnet.com/article/eset-d…

"Things started getting weird..." For those who have not themselves faced the pressure of organized extra-legal persecution (be glad you haven't), this is an excellent introduction to what it entails. For those of us who have, it's a stark reminder of what we've been through.

Network #injectionattacks are now a commodity service, using civilian DPI hardware. As there is no systematic, ongoing, broad-view (civilian) monitoring for such attacks, actual volume is anyone's guess. Kudos to @citizenlab for this brilliant research! citizenlab.ca/2018/03/bad-tr…

Now domain registrars are offering "VPN service" - complete with "military grade encryption," of course. #peakVPN @cleanvpn

Best. Logo. Ever. ...long live x.org! 😋 phoronix.com/scan.php?page=…

Interesting, & not obviously an evil development. Also an inescapable indicator that #peakVPN has arrived, & that its now time for a phase-shift upgrade of the entire consumer VPN security model - top to bottom... zdnet.com/article/mozill…
