I Am in the Epstein Files
I Am in the Epstein Files - Schneier on Security
Once. Someone named “Vincenzo lozzo” wrote to Epstein in email, in 2016: “I wouldn’t pay too much attention to this, Schneier has a long tradition of dramatizing and misunderstanding things.” The topic of the email is DDoS attacks, and it is unclear what I am dramatizing and misunderstanding. Rabbi Schneier is also mentioned, also incidentally, also once. As far as either of us know, we are not related.

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

People smarter than me have surely thought about this before, but it seems as if there's such a thing as disinformation through over-information. When you release millions of unsorted documents on the web, it becomes a kind of construction kit for anybody to build their own conspiracy myth
