"...they found the material in Schulte’s New York apartment, in an encrypted container beneath three layers of password protection"
Curious if anyone knows if the original source for this statement (presumably some evidence presented in court, indictment, etc) is available for us to read. Wondering if prosecutors really say stuff like "beneath three layers of password protection", or if that was embellished by the Guardian writer.
They found the passwords on his phone, according to [1] – Search for "encryption". While that's probably "good enough security" for regular people, probably not if you're leaking CIA documents ... or regularly downloading child porn...
If you want a definitive citation from court evidence then you'll have to go through all of that yourself.
John Kiriakou didn't. Nor did other prominent leaks that are not directly related to the CIA but are adjacent, such as Snowden or Manning. "Everyone" is trivially disprovable.
More importantly, how did they know that and how did they get access to it. Also imagine what would have (not) happened if he didn't talk to the FBI, AND lie to them
I seem to remember true crypt would allow you to make an encrypted container with AES, two fish and serpent. But it was all decrypted with a single password. So if you found that password you would have gotten through all three layers.
If he was innocent, then that means: an innocent person, accused of arranging a dump to Wikileaks, contacted Wikileaks from inside jail, to tell his story to the only outlet he trusted, Wikileaks. If he was innocent, then he must assume Wikileaks was participating in framing him.
>If he was innocent, then he must assume Wikileaks was participating in framing him.
I do not see why at all, and that the defense is in contact with WikiLeaks even if innocent seems highly like because WikiLeaks could provide evidence that he is Innocent
It's way too conventional to be plausible, at least for me, it could perhaps be a giant psyop, why would the CIA confirm anything about what was leaked? This sentence says it all
