TO BE CLEAR: I still use and recommend @signal.org. You are better off with encryption than without, and I trust Signal more than I trust WhatsApp. (There are other good apps but they aren't as widely adopted or as accessible.) PLEASE CONTINUE TO ENCRYPT YOUR COMMS & remember that Telegram doesn't.

I'm very aware that this image gives off extreme goatse vibes. I have no idea if the art department knows what they did.

As always, puppygirls, furries, and everyone else can send me leaks & story tips via Signal signal.me#eu/HNer9mVMN...

This isn't even the first time I've written about the puppygirl hacker polycule's shenanigans.

The thousands of leaked files come from Lexipol, a company that develops policy & training manuals for first responders. "We took matters into our own paws,” a member of the puppygirl hacker polycule told the Daily Dot. www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

Even if they obtained the memo as well, a simple "the memo was first reported on by Ken Klippenstein" goes a long way.

After they were suspended last week, links to their articles about Dittman were blocked from being shared on X. Yet today, those links are no longer restricted. Despite this, @ryan.staticnoi.se & @jsweetli.bsky.social must delete their old posts linking to their articles to be allowed back on X.

Today, @crimew.gay opted to delete the posts flagged by X and had their account reinstated. @ryan.staticnoi.se has appealed the suspension & remains suspended. @jsweetli.bsky.social, who wrote an article about Dittman for The Spectator, remains suspended as well. bsky.app/profile/crim...

It was never publicly reported and had only circulated largely among law enforcement. Also, it turned out to be quite relevant, given that the Las Vegas Cybertruck attacker used ChatGPT during his planning phase.

I had them confirm they were referring to furries when writing. Could also be a mix of both.

Nah, have covered furry hackers extensively. Was an editorial decision, I assume.
