#22I can't help but laugh. I always joke with my irc buds that we are chatting in a NSA honeypot. Maybe it's actually true? lol I think I'm actually disillusioned now. Just another example of why you should never put information you wouldn't want someone to know on the internet.
Your think Harold Finch was joking in person of interest when he said he invented social media to provide data for the machine

If there's information I don't want someone to know, I do not write it down, I do not talk about it, I do not express it in a game of charades.
And what exactly do you do when there's information that you want one person to know, or maybe two people to know?

#24I don't think a "honeypot" is protected by law for any criminal activity it engages in.

Express it in a game of charades, obviously.

#26I'm confused by this. This guy has publicly admitted, in detail, that he started a site specifically in order to facilitate copyright infringement. Regardless of his view of his own "intention", this is a violation. He's enabled piracy and has stated his specific intent to do so, and he is not a government agent.
What if someone started a club where drugs were sold and then publicly announced a year later that is why they started the club? Except it was supposed to be a citizen's sting operation? And he was trying to get a payout from the feds by providing information? Does he think that provides immunity? My guess is they'd nail him to the wall while laughing at him.
Hasn't this guy opened himself up to legal action, both governmental and private, by his statements? He has stated publicly that he enabled "illegal" activities IN ORDER TO MAKE A PROFIT.
What about Nuke Piracy's complicence through acquisition?
On another note, that is in no way an analysis or conversation starter, or even constructive: what a prick.

#28CAUTION: if you follow links from that article, prepare yourself for some extremely fucked up shit. I was wondering how CashWhore doxxed so many people, so I followed the link to WJunction, then clicked on one of the threads. There was a link to a site with young girls without much clothing. I had to close my browser immediately. Just wanted to put that out there, if anyone is browsing from work or doesn't have a str…
No adblock installed? It's just a one-of-many-of-its-kind boring forum when I clicked on the link? Also; fucked up shit; I guess you are talking about 'normal' modern porn? Where they let 20somethings look like 16-18? Or it is something else / worse?
I have adblock. I went to the forum and clicked on a 'technical support' thread to see what kind of things people were using.
What I saw was not that 'normal' stuff. It was clearly prepubescent and sexual in nature.

Such a class of information doesn't exist. I tell them, and then I expect that anyone else who might be interested will find out. The information is no longer secure.
The key to operational security isn't that no one ever finds out; it's that no one finds out until it's too late for them to stop you. Perimeter security is a war of attrition: you will take losses and you don't get to pick them.
I have confidences I've given to friends. I don't expect them to share those secrets with others, but I'm also aware that they very well might, even accidentally. (Or the sharing got MITM'd.) Thus, instead of using shared confidences as magical shibboleths to friendship, I use them as the first step on increasing my comfort level with sharing them publicly. For instance, I was extremely ashamed of the fact that I watched porn when I was a teenager; now I can say it freely on a public forum with my name attached. There are a dozen steps of infosec stepdown that occurred as I grew up between then and now.
