The only passenger in the car when an American citizen was shot and killed by a federal officer in South Texas last year had planned to speak up and contradict the government’s account of the shooting. However, the passenger, Joshua Orta, died in an unrelated car crash over the weekend.
Abso-lutely. Western governments like USA and the UK learned the wrong lessons from the end of World War II and have practiced security through obscurity for decades since cracking the enigma machines codes and keeping that a secret during and long after the war. They sit on vulnerable exploits under the false notion that they’ll be the only ones to ever find the exploits and use them. Instead of taking security seriously by reporting exploits when found, they use them in stupid fucking hacking wargames that make the whole world more vulnerable. Security through obscurity always works right up until it doesn’t.
