oh my god if we can get screenshots of them discussing spoofing...

The archduke has been shot.

ok. If anybody is waiting for a response from me on something, or think it's weird that I haven't reacted to something, please let me know. I feel caught up, and that's probably not a way I should be feeling.

I was waiting with my favorite gif ever and I missed it

🔔 done!

Count me in

Maybe that's a better bell-ringing!

Sent as well

Double green check means Krug has seen the message, right?

Yes.

I'll keep an eye on it.

ok WB is ready for a TG chat. In order to create the new group, I need at lease one person to add on an initial basis. Is anyone definitely willing to join a group chat with WB?

Backlogging now

oh, wait I'm being an idiot

I'll do it

Sure, no problem.

I'm your huckleberry

There's one screenshot that needs extra censoring

Sher

The riot one with a bunch blackouts. The URL is exposing the search

Honestly, it'd be great if WB can remain completely anonymous. I don't wanna know anything about them, for fear of cracking under torture.

ok thx

Can we do that through the TG?

The new riot screenshot list seems to have new people in it.

If WB does his tg name as WB

I actually want to thank them for the stance on anti spoofing anyway

@Semiotiq I know there was a ton of backlog for you, any thoughts on going to kotaku to see if they are interested in a story?

I don't have the ability to do so - lost the password to my sock account and work busy all day

That's my take. If I say anything the first thing will be "thank you."

Also when you push, aim for 9am. statistically more likely to get social media views.

Sorry if this is redundant, but the new Riot Member list doc in the RIOT docs folder has new names in it.

👍

I'd like in that group chat. I'm at a work event but checking in

WB needs to make something anon from that too.
If he has contact info w/ any of those folks on the list and they see that name (they get notified when a contact joins TG)

ok thx

ignore that last, bad paste

There's no way to completely shield WB. If we remove her from the list, that will blow her cover to RES sure as anything.

If you would like to chat with WB

Consider your anonymity and make decisions that are right for you.

Well, shit.

She's going to take some undeserved lumps. All we can do is be apologetic.

join link added to pin

she's clear about this. She knows she self-implicated.

Well I hope none of her teammates go full-on sociopath because of this. There are gonna be a lot of upset people and who knows if they're unhinged.

So, to be clear, if we join the chat with WB it could be seen by others not in the chat? Or just potentially shared by people within the chat?

I'd do it

no. The join link is not to be shared outside of this room. Provided we maintain that integrity, the only people able to join the chat are those of us here.


Joining would simply mean that WB knows you're in this working group.

Oh, no, sharing that link outside of here wasn't a consideration at all. I just wanted to know if there's any way for someone outside of that chat to see who's in it.

So I think that clears it up. The answer is "nope".

Everyone, I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but just in case anyone hasn't thought about this already - information gets out. It's safest to assume that the RES who are about to be vilified will get a partial picture of who we are and the work that we did on this.


It's time to change all of your passwords and perform a general personal infosec hygiene pass.


This is something that we should all do more often anyway. So do it.

@LilJimJim and @GreatNorthern were talking about contacts and removing WB from a list. Didn't quite get what this could reveal to outsiders.

There was new data today?

RES have their own complete list. If we release a list with n-1, or even n-5 names, they can quickly zero in on who we omitted and why.

Just to say, wb changes tg name, everyone she has a chat with will see the new name

Sending messages to Kruk put us at that risk.

If WB is smart they set up a new TG

This too.

indication from WB was that she wasn't on TG previously. not sure if true.

yes check the root folder for 'riot docs'

This

Typing for those who can't listen to voice message... If she anyone has her contact info they will see she joined TG

We need to remove any labelling of Whistle Blower or whatever she used as a TG handle from the public website

Then, no issue

People join tg every day

👍

PS Krug still hasn't read mine

Likewise.

same

good note james thanks. I've passed this along.

Np. Keepin things secure :)

Whoa! rubber duckie 65 is My alias

😂

It's actually my password.

I've also used pink fluffy Bunny slippers Twenty three

whoa you too

For all this automation she's described the RES certainly haven't taken advantage at anomalies.

thanks

and also...ohboy

Right?

Well that will go well if he's on vacay and there's no Niantic response until Monday at the earlies.t

Krug responded

alea iacta est.

Why was Ozzy on the history channel?

One vacation is a quip sarcastic response

[[Photo]]

I sent him a quick reply...


"Absolutely. Thank you for the reply, I'm certain you have a long list of things to do."

Indeed

Awaiting my imminent account termination email from Niantic lololol

I don't think that is terribly likely to happen in this situation, but I could be wrong.

It would certainly be an interesting response.

I really don't either but that would be an amazing niantic response

Wait we are talking about niantic. It would take them three days to do anything anyway
