Yea, and sections of the article lend the idea that he wasn't aware he was putting himself in physical danger - when angus warned him he should be aware that he could be violently mugged or have his medications tampered with and he got scared, that would have been one of my first considerations.
He ended up purchasing firearms and bulletproof vests (living in Florida) but continued with his crusade. That's conviction, whether or not it was the most effective path forward.
thank you and yeah, I’ve exhausted every other vector i can think of and i’m pretty well connected in the intelligence community and DoD! So fuck it, I’m not someone that likes to sit around and hope someone does something. Obviously there’s possibly stuff i just didn’t think of but this seemed like a natural and effective way to get people to listen. It worked, they listened but no real funding or action. Now this piece, i’m kicking asses forward to do something! But i’m not afraid to admit that i’m not the pinnacle of intelligence i’m just persistent af and know how to get peoples attention. And i’ve practiced hacking in very very many disciplines my whole life, so i’m not too bad at it.
we all need all kinds of perspectives in the discourse of how to proceed I think! my usage of "crusade" may have been loaded, I can respect your approach
oh i knew haha. It was just made very real by angus and he told me the attack vectors to watch out for. I’m not a gun guy, which is why he told me to get some. Which I did.
I’m not a gun guy either but have had to respond to threats to my safety as well. Good luck and be safe, will definitely be following your journey because I think you are 100% correct.
I think the assumption is that North Korea already knows who he his: He didn't make a big deal of hiding who he was when he hacked them in the first place. Some people within the scene quickly figured out it was him, so it's fair to assume that North Korea figured it out too.
this ^^^^. You nailed it spot on. They knew and have known for a couple of years. Coming out actually makes me a bit safer from them because now everyone knows i’m ACTUALLY affiliated heavily with the IC and DoD. Try murdering someone like that… well that person might have contingencies in place so that things just start to randomly burn down in your country……………
Not to mention any official action of murdering YET ANOTHER US citizen (see the Warmbier case) but this time with very real military connections. May make them think twice.
I’m far more afraid of our own government than theirs to be frank. Though i didn’t break any laws that i know of. I attacked a “country” that we don’t even recognize as a country but a terrorist state! So are they gonna prosecute me for attacking terrorists with a pretty minor attack in the grand scheme of things? I hope not and i don’t think so…. but FBI is gonna FBI.
I fear that you’re setting yourself up for danger by thinking your DoD contacts can save you from assassination… North Korea have assassinated more important people in airports of all places…
> Try murdering someone like that… well that person might have contingencies in place so that things just start to randomly burn down in your country……………
I don't even know where to start with this. The article portrayed your interaction with the DoD to giving them a Powerpoint presentation and making various attempts to catch their attention. Which you've portrayed here as a 'heavy affiliation'... so heavy that the state conducts special operation behind enemy lines to avenge you.
they already knew and have known for a while is why. Putting my name out there actually makes me safer because i have very real associations with the DoD that can be confirmed.
Still a brave, interesting man.
