Soooooo, reading someone’s password then using it is “hacking” now?
Yours,
Schwim, Master HackerYeah, much of “hacking” is lamer than the movies show.
Rami Malek did a decent job of making “real hacking” look cool in Mr Robot
That was mostly the production crew who took a lot of time to use real hacks and UIs to recreate them live.
I was moreso getting at the social engineering bits. But yea the writing and production was well done for sure!
Bro completely destroyed that poor man’s life
If you can read, you’re now a hacker. Which means a good percentage of Trump voters can’t hack.
Email, dental hygiene, spelling, reality. They just can’t hack a good many things.
Bro, I just hacked MYSELF
Bro.
Somewhat, yeah. A lot of hacking is like that along with social engineering
Basically 80% of the “hacks” in the world find ez password get on lan create admin
Multiple major dictionaries seem to define computer hacking as: “to gain unauthorized access to a computer network, system, etc.” or something similar. So yeah, it seems that using a password you found somewhere to access an account that isn’t yours would indeed be considered “hacking.”
That’s always been hacking lol.
I like that this is the important part, the thing that people are annoyed with. Pff, loser, did you even use the terminal? Fake ass bitch.
Do these emails even matter given that he wasn’t self-hosting?
It’s hacking as soon as it’s uncomfortable for someone with power.
Always has been.
Edit: wow, downvotes. Care to explain?
Legally speaking unfortunately.
Yes?
That’s basically how most “hacking” works through social engineering and phishing.
Yes. It’s also a series of felonies. Having a persons username and password does not give one permission to access the account anymore than having possession of someone’s house key allows one to legally enter the home.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding something because no one here has mentioned the obvious:
Did we acquire the full unredacted set of his emails ?
Seriously, wouldn’t this be kind of huge news if we suddenly had access to the evidence they tried to hide? Too bad this is a news article and someone probably changed the password by now.
There’s no news on it and I have to assume it’s because if that is the full unredacted email there’s probably a ton of CSAM. If so it’s technically illegal to own and anyone who is downloading it might be opening themselves up to arrest or legal challenges, even if they’re a journalist.
I would presume IF this is a full release of the Epstein GMail account, and IF it’s not a honeypot op of some kind from CIA/IDF/SVR/whoever, and IF it’s legit… then this is big. Nearly all American news orgs have been gutted though, and I doubt any billionaire that owns the news orgs would be ok with having their wealthy cohort exposed.
Whoever might be investigating this would almost certainly keep quiet until all of their ducks are in a row because the second they publish, they’re going to be arrested for CSAM. Unless they’re in a country with no extradition treaty with the US. And even then they’ll be subject to extraordinary rendition cause Trump don’t care about US law, why would the lack of an extradition treaty stop him?
It’s ridiculous that evidence of the crimes they committed is going to be used to arrest anyone who tries to uncover evidence of who committed those crimes. By ridiculous I don’t mean I don’t think it will happen. I think you are right about that.
I mean, I know there are some people who would definitely do the wrong thing and that’s why it needed to be released carefully to avoid this kind of mess and why normally this kind of digging would be done by the government or trusted investigators, but it’s troublesome because the established power structure (regardless of party) are some of the same people who committed these crimes and we clearly can’t trust them to do the right thing.

All I can see is *******
yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******
††††***†‡
they just assumed it was one of hunter biden’s kids and waved it through
So every other child rapist’s name gets redacted but they can’t even do a scan for passwords?
They were so busy hunting for the rapists they completely forgot about passwords…or we’ve got some decent folks weaponizing “incompetence”
I’m convinced they used AI to redact everything, and didn’t double back and check them until after a particular page made headlines.
I’ve seen numerous videos where they program a script to remove the 5-6 different ways “redactions” were added and they make no sense from a technical stand point, leaving me to believe that someone non-technical told AI exactly how they wanted to redact, and then put those files in their outbox.
They uploaded the Bash 3.3 reference manual and even that had some redactions so your theory is almost definitely correct
Yea this is highly likely… I can’t imagine how they made it this far being so… Fukkin dum
More likely they were busy redacting Donald from the files - or mark them “Top Secret”.
Apparently the word “don’t” can also be found redacted.
Because they did a regex for Don(.)T and didn’t bother to check
They did bother to check, they are just sloppy. It seems like it’s more that one slipped through the cracks. There are plenty of unredacted “don t” in the files. Looks like they did blanket redactions of “Don T” (and other Trump related names) and then went through manually and unredacted false positives to cover their tracks. But they missed one. It’s still a smoking gun, though, as there’s literally no reason to redact “don t”.
The mods have posted a followup about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1qwt4pb/epstein_deleted_posts_and_our_thoughts_moving/
It’s insane that you’re one of the only comments actually responding to the post itself. I’m starting to think Lemmy is being taken over by bots even worse than Reddit.
Smaller populations make it easier to form social bubbles, I suppose. And this community in particular is focused on not liking something, so it’s easy to throw out a quick “ooh, I hate thing!” To get some positive engagement.
hunter2
*******
Huh?
The link doesn’t seem to work?
There’s an actual word there. Your instance is blocking it or blanking it out. Maybe you have certain words on a do not show list?
I believe they’re doing a bit
You, friend, MUST open that Know Your Meme link and read the entire thing.
Let’s see some names. Time to burn these sadist pedo billionaires.
We already have a ton of names. Nobody is getting burned.
Wag your finger too hard at them and they’ll banish you to Venezuela
Are you stupid? Do you believe that anyone should be allowed to post anything anywhere? Just because the post is about Epstein doesn’t make it appropriate to post in that subreddit. And just because it was removed doesn’t mean the mods removed it, let alone that they might have an Epstein-related agenda in removing it. Just look at the automod response in that deleted thread. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Former Reddit mod of an NHL hockey team and a Canadian province before Reddit purged me from their site. I can say with confidence that the sub mods including myself removed a lot of important content that didn’t fit the sub. There were other subs like /r/hockey or city subreddits that would have been better venues for what they were posting and still got backlash in the modmail.
We’re trying to help run a community and keep it central to the subject matter at hand. We understand this is important but if it doesn’t fit in the framework of the sub, it isn’t allowed.
You probably can’t post a funny comic strip in /r/politics.
Surprised a Lemmy instance doesn’t have it honestly
If they’d stop talking about Linux or posting furry porn for a minute they would.
/s
No /s needed here
I love us
Thanks but I’d much rather see furry porn and Linux BS over here at pawb. If you want Epstein and his CSAM, you’re free to keep it over there at .world.
Did anyone scrape and archive the contents?
remember the windows 7 activation key?
Might a reddit mod/admin be trying to delay the discovery of their name on a list?
Since I got banned for saying that the current CEO was a mod for r/jailbait… I’m guessing it could be related. Just a guess.
Back in those days you could add anyone as a mod in any subreddit without their consent. Spez, despite being a miserable piece of shit, never actually moderated that sub and removed himself from the team after being added.
For those that are fortunate enough to not know… r/jailbait is for posts depicting women that look so young they could get you in prison if you liked looking at them… Ala “jailbait”…
Are you a bot?
It was for pictures of clearly underage girls that were dressed provacatively or doing suggestive poses.
Was it? Last I was unfortunate enough to come across that, I looked in the comments and people wwre mwntioning porn star names which did look identical
Was it as you said before, or something? I only stumbled on it a few years ago
I’m referring to how it was 10’ish years ago. As far as I can tell it was eventually banned. If it resurfaced with a different purpose, I’m unaware of that.
Oh… Yea I didn’t know
Damn
The hacker should send Trump an Epstein Island invite … the old pedo pervert may have a stroke from it.
was this the jmail thing?
No.
jmail is just taking the existing released documents and putting them into a gmail looking thing.
Well, it’s Reddit. What did you expect?
