At SpyTalk Matt Brazil reports that the large dump of intelligence on the Chinese that had been post by who knows who on Github and I posted on last week has vanished:
That big data leak of 571 files of data posted on GitHub had researchers and journalists salivating for five days—but on the sixth day, GitHub’s Terms of Service were invoked. The biggest leak of data ever from any Chinese hacking organization was replaced overnight on 21-22 February with this notice:
“This repository has been disabled. Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub’s terms of service. If you are the owner of the repository, you may reach out to GitHub Support for more information.”
That is entirely unsurprising. Clearly, the data’s remaining on Github was not in Microsoft’s interest so into the memory hole with it! If it had not already been copied by one or more of our intelligence agencies we need new intelligence agencies. Further, if it was not copied by one ormore of our major media outlets, we need better journalists.
” Further, if it was not copied by one or more of our major media outlets, we need better journalists.”
Kinda late to the party, Dave. I’m sure this issue predates Biden. But in the current ‘protect Democrats at all costs’ (even at the expense of our franchises) environment, did you really expect anything else?
CBS, NBC, ABC, AP, CNN, MSNBC etc………… ?????????? Really?
