    Strap in this one is amazing. FBI forensics guy can’t get support for RDP he’s been dealing with for weeks. Random guy finds open RDP probably thinks he Jack potted masscan. Looks around the server sees all the CSAM, deletes 500TB(possibly after exporting a copy?), and leaves a message on the server telling them he’s reporting them to the FBI. FBI then find this guy’s report and convince him to get on a Zoom call and flash their badges to convince him they’re the FBI please don’t delete anything else. And to make it even funnier google cloud helped them recover 400TB, reads like internal IT didn’t even try 🤣

    The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear ​to realize they had penetrated ⁠a law enforcement server. The hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI, the person said.

    The source said bureau officials defused the situation by convincing the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part by having the hacker join a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front ⁠of a web ​camera.

    Every time I think we’ve reached peak dumb, it keeps getting dumber. Accidentally a whole server and then hop on Zoom with the FBI, sure, why not. It’s too stupid to be made up but maybe that’s just another way of trying to slip below the radar.

    Then leak the damned files. Either piss on the pot or fuck off already.

    Stop protecting the Epstein class.

      500TB is a technical challenge to leak. I’m all for it but damn. That’s a lot.

      Right?
      Not much infuriates me more than when an “anonymous” video drops, or some other haxor fucking losers say they got info and the truth will be revealed or some other dumb fuck shit…
      If you got it and you’re good people, release it.
      Otherwise fuck off, you’re probably lying anyway. You’re not good people.

    Seems too good to be true, the only reason to not release them is to use them as leverage/blackmail. Which they are already being used for by two of the most likely subjects

      The blackmailer in chief at the moment is Pam Bondi: she has the goods on Trump, so she’s essentially untouchable. Trump will never fire her the way he fired Noem, even though she desperately needs to be ousted and to quit defiling the DoJ.

      Just to get at that fucken bitch - and flush Trump out of the White House also - I really hope this story is true and whoever downloaded the files hands them over to the oversight committee and takes away her ability to use the incriminating evidence she’s sitting on to protect herself.
