Been up all night with friends going through the unpleasantly long lists of infosec people in the Epstein Files.

@hacks4pancakes But in what context are they mentioned?
As in they one time went to an event hosted by/involving Epstein, or as in they were (allegedly) complicit in his crimes, or something in-between?Is this the latest dump of files or the older ones?
Thanks
In slightly related topic, in the latest dump, there was a report from an informant claiming Epstein had a private hacker who also sold exploits to several governments: https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/30/informant-told-fbi-that-jeffrey-epstein-had-a-personal-hacker/
The name was redacted though and its unclear if the FBI was able to verify the informant's claims -
@hacks4pancakes @FeloniousPunk yup. If you don't think you're vulnerable, you're already fucked.
@hacks4pancakes @FeloniousPunk not to somehow indicate I think the fuckers on that list were innocent rubes, duped, mind you. Was just thinking about our community's hubris aloud.

God, having that conversation feels like yesterday. I was already feeling one billion years old when I told people not to fall for it and end up a patsy. It’s not some stupid CTF or CVE brag to try to outsmart actual dangerous criminals.
Discussions started with this if you haven’t seen it: https://www.wired.com/story/epstein-files-tech-elites-gates-thiel-musk/
Cryptocurrency, infosec, and quantum computing were the big targets and definitely looking the worst.

@hacks4pancakes "but I'm immune to social engineering and propaganda because I knoooooow about it."
Uh huh. Yup. Right

@hacks4pancakes i'm disappointed, but somehow, it explains a lot of the past decade

The emails about them considering going to DEF CON (likely to build support for election distrust) are absolutely wild and good on the goons for making them uncomfortable. Always make pdfs uncomfortable.

Been up all night with friends going through the unpleasantly long lists of infosec people in the Epstein Files. Yikes, guys. I knew some of them were pieces of shit, already - but too many other people fell for a transparent bid to illegitimatize elections, and I said so then.

@hacks4pancakes yuck

@munin @hacks4pancakes yeah this almost seems like it wants to be a wiki, structurally

️@hacks4pancakes Relatively new to the space, and I do so love having to go Ctrl-F the most disgusting pile of emails to make sure I'm not considering any of these people as inspirational goals.

is there a list collated yet? I really don't want to have to search thru manually.
@munin@infosec.exchange @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange If you do end up searching manually, https://jmail.world/ is a very handy way to do it.

@hacks4pancakes I didn't need to learn that meaning of "PDF" today. *sigh*

@emma @grrrr_shark @hacks4pancakes Good thing I am immune then. Wait...

@emma @cR0w @grrrr_shark @hacks4pancakes I don't follow.

@Amoshias oh hai 4chan.
@emma uhh... what?
the purpose of telling someone they are not immune to propaganda is to help remind them that they need to be alert at all times, that you can't just relax and think you are better than all those dummies who fall for it.
this statement seems to be saying "that's wrong, don't believe it, just let yourself chill out and not worry about propaganda." that doesn't seem like a message that anyone on Mastodon would be particularly in favor of.
so what am I missing?

@hacks4pancakes I offer solidarity in the form of "wait, *how* many quantum computing people are in those files?"
