RE: Bigger Than Snowden? Massive Hack of Secret 911 Related Documents From US Gov / Lloyds of London & Others Being Publicly Offered For Sale!
The payment plan put out by this hacker group starts at $250 for a tiny release and goes up to $2 million for the full release.
I note that the attack surface doesn't increase in size with payment size. Every release is going to have the same potential to compromise their security. Therefore they are utterly invulnerable to attack for the price of $250.
This makes no sense at all to me. Why even bother collecting such small sums?
Decades ago I did some consulting for a political action committee, and remember discussing fund raising with a principal there, who said "I don't write a letter for less than $500."
These guys have gone to a lot more trouble than just writing a letter. I don't think the BTC is their actual purpose at all, and the $250 BTC price for a key is a lot of why I think so.
There's another purpose for this psyop than BTC, even $2M of it. Hell, @ned could pay that and have the entire release posted to the blockchain without having to fire even one more Stinc employee.
That's a paltry sum to challenge the savage bastards that have turned the PNAC into geopolitical reality for decades without even one of their number taking a hit for the team. They're not doing it for money - and I don't think they're taking on that organization.
I think they are that organization.
