  1. Yeah. It's our own intelligence agencies btw

  2. Hopefully somebody has stacks of hard drives somewhere in a vault and is waiting for a cooldown to put it all back online and re-copy it to another repository

  3. This happens quite often, actually. It's easy to hire a "consultant" for some obscure, unrelated work and then act shocked that they did something totally illegal (that served your interests, but that's just a coincidence of course)

  4. This isn't some guy in his mom's basement eating pizza rolls. It's a state level actor, or at least a corporate level one. With a considerable budget

  5. Knowledge is power. Control of knowledge is centralized power. Destroying knowledge that provides power to the decentralized consolidates power among the centralized.

  6. All those hours of Tinarina on Raw Time... Gone, like tears in rain...

  7. Orwell, been on the money so often for so long that people are getting sick of him and his predictions are unjustly losing their power

  8. They have the mental maturity of Machiavelli. Those who control the records of the past control the future. Take this kind of thing more seriously, you don't burn down libraries and censor the remaining copies just as a prank

  9.  @holesmak  It's the people telling you it's the Russians actually. You wouldn't get it though
    2
  10. There are probably offline copies. Somebody is waiting for the time to be right
    2
  11. Truth nuke

  12. They do that for a reason. Because they plan to do something that would cause you to go searching for previous signs and precedents, and possible solutions to the situation that they probably wouldn't like very much

  13. The hackers ARE big corrupt corporations. And government agencies. That's who hires them all now

  14. "Hacker groups" are mostly a fiction, they basically don't exist. "Anonymous" was made up by 4chan to troll a local tv news station in the 2000s, and then afterwards a bunch of random nobodies adopted it to borrow clout, it's just a floating name. However there are a bunch of huge organizations that regularly show up to DEF CON every year to scalp talent... They are certainly hacker groups. All of them have three-letter names. CIA, DOD, NSA... Maybe IBM.. Mossad, that's the exception. They didn't get the memo I guess. They invite promising people from Las Vegas convention centers to private rooms... With very nice girls and the only pure cocaine left on this side of the 1980s... Good times if you can stomach it There were a couple NYC hacker groups in like... the 1990s. With 90s-ass names like cypher and acyd and phreaks. That shit is ancient history now

  15. Who would be this deep well of power which would give them "untouchable status" even from governments? Because that would immediately turn dark

  16. Digital information is the MOST prone to vanishing. People need to understand this, because for some reason there is a popular conception that putting something on the cloud is forever. It isn't. Carving something into a random rock in the woods is 10,000 times more durable than bits and bytes. Digital information rots faster than wet paper

  17. Other hackers have been hired by the same employer and probably don't want to ruin their future careers. With some principled exceptions, but these days it's few. This isn't the 1990s anymore. The wild west unfortunately gave way to professionals
    1
  18. By whom? The same bureaucrats who want it gone because it holds a lot of their skeletons?
    1
  19. Ah yes "hackers" (US government employees)
    1
  20. It is definitely worth it to a state actor who wants to control the records of history in order to influence the future. It wasn't done just for some sadistic kicks, like bullying tards. It has a motivation
    1
  21. Oh, it makes them a profit... Hackers don't do stuff for free, this isn't fun and games. This is a job and they were hired by someone

  22. The archive is what people should donate to instead of wikipedia, which is incredibly overrated, fully funded for hundreds of years, and also backed by spooky money
    1
  23. Yeah there's obviously some attempts to sow discord/uncertainty and try to obscure the source of the action among some popular old heels and scapegoats
    1
  24. I wonder how many petabytes the entire archive represented
    1
  25. The people who did this already hate you and want you gone. They made the friend/enemy distinction a long time ago
    1
  26. Triple redundancy
    1
  27. Knowing them, there are offline backups... So I just hope that whatever state-level spooks ordered this hit didn't also find the physical backup vault and seize it as well. There is probably an admin somewhere sitting on a huge backup and waiting for the time to be right to start trickling it back online. That might be a while from now
    1
  28. The books he's handing out have old, uncensored records of events which are embarrassing to the pieces of shit in charge of the bureaucracy, so the people knocking him out are almost certainly intelligence agency cronies
    1
  29. Hackers are often for hire to the highest bidder. It's a business, like everything else. The highest bidder doesn't give a damn about "the community"
    1
  30. That's already the case with US intelligence agencies, who are doing this of course. So no skin off their nose
    1
  31. Yep. Looking around it seems like almost half of people get it, the rest are clueless... That's actually a pretty good spread, honestly. People are wising up
    1
  32. This WAS a hit. They write the hitlists
    1
  33. More like "US three-letter agency glowie spooks"
    1
  34. They aren't just a "bunch of assholes." They 1000% have corporate and state backing. It's not just some amateur in his basement doing these hits
    1
  35. Hmmm... I wonder who else is known for doing that... and also hires a huge number of state-level hackers
    1
  36. No I don't remember that because it never happened
    1
  37. Lol... Who else do we know about who attacks hospitals
    1
  38. Bombing a hospital, hacking a hospital... It's the same folks.
    1
  39. I would not trust cloudfare with this as far as I could throw them. And I can't throw them at all
    1
  40. The people responsible for this are already very used to committing war crimes
    1
  41. That's just a fiction out of movies.. Hackers are not knights or ronin or some romantic ideal. They are hirelings. They work for people who pay them lots and lots of money, most likely your own tax dollars
