Whistle Orga

Not logged into Reddit and with set to All States, I do not see it on the front page of Hot, Rising, or Controversial.

Yeah, I don't go anywhere that stuff. There's some scary shit on there, to be sure.

Oh I didn't think you would

😊

It is top of r/Ingress

Yup.

Well, the one by tehstone

Tku - I'll reshare once it's public 💚

make public thing do nao

Name linked via riot.one is not on the list of names on the website

interesting, maybe he wasnt in any of the channels

Maybe it's a chain of leaks

But WB doesn't disclaim. Also, WB's English is very American if native Polish.

very

I'm curious about their reaction as well (using the gender-neutral pronoun for WB now, fight me). It doesn't fit quite right.

What's going on?

they found WB

he seems to admit the game is up

It was more of a shrug really

Oh?

Not sure it changes anything.

well that was quick

opsec is hard.

Their identity is pretty irrelevant to me

Yeah

In a community like that where everyone has to have a chain of people vouching for them... you know who's disgruntled. And yeah, opsec is hard.

and if thats really how they found him, covering it up would have involved major data manipulations

OK, action item suggestion.

hiding every time stamp

They repointed riot.one to a G+ account.

Dislike of intrusive surveillance tactics comports with Central Europe.

Is it possible, without affecting WB, to frame that as a demonstration of vindictive behavior on the part of the admins?

We're sure it's real?

he has all but said it is

No way to call attention to it without calling attention to WB

I am sure that the riot.one admins redirected their site to a G+ account they believe is the leaker.

it does mean that we can tell the WB story now

@Semiotiq

I can't think of a way to avoid calling attention to WB.

I was just about to say that

Are they right, though? Do we have any idea?

Don't know, don't need to know.

They could be fishing

lets measure fifteen times and cut once

Well, if we share WB's quotes and they have the wrong person...

Agree.

But it is consistent with the creep show we've seen from Res Brokers so far

we are not in a hurry anymore

I think my suggested action item is bad.

Something here is a trap

Keep in mind, WB said they knew what they were getting into, and felt the risk worth it.

Elaborate

Everything is always a trap. Knowing this is how I avoid the Spanish Inquisition

I don't know, I just feel that we should be very careful

I have a weird feeling too

We broke the urgent news. We can slow down

Yes

After 5 east coast now.

Should we encourage WB to speak to Krug?

Why?

He's on vacation

In case there are other details that NIA Ops needs in order to pursue this?

Just spitballing

Like they want to bait someone into saying they got the wrong one

Is Niko on the list?

Interesting.

Yup

Very yes

Cover.

But admitting that's what it's for and not a fake

Yeah. Well.

He hunts

*Marginal* admission of the tool as a guardian hunting tool.

Ugh, it won't let you change the distro on desktop either

I can see it now

does this in fact warrant a press release? io9? Buzzfeed?

Is it time to spin up a swarm?

Get the signal boost machine going?

Wait we aren't sleeping yet?

Charlie did you sleep

I've been here all day XD

I think we should float the story, yes.

If no one wants it fine

Can't sleep, omnivores will eat me.

@theprevaricator what's the unique visitor count up to? (when you have a moment)

My tech friend is off work now and said he still has a private server if it is needed, but with the number of hits he may need to put an ad at the bottom 😂

It should

12.8k and 232k

1 and 5 of those are me.

engadget, techcrunch, ars technica

If only to get a multi-day cycle going about it that will be hard for Niantic to continue ignoring.

A day 2 story could be, "messages from WhistleBlower"

Or, share your favorite guardian hunt story day.

so someone sent cleaningress a fishing link

to try to get my IP

at least, I think it is

Get a VPN and click the link from China.

Or Russia.
