A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Seems too good to be true, the only reason to not release them is to use them as leverage/blackmail. Which they are already being used for by two of the most likely subjects
The blackmailer in chief at the moment is Pam Bondi: she has the goods on Trump, so she's essentially untouchable. Trump will never fire her the way he fired Noem, even though she desperately needs to be ousted and to quit defiling the DoJ.
Just to get at that fucken bitch - and flush Trump out of the White House also - I really hope this story is true and whoever downloaded the files hands them over to the oversight committee and takes away her ability to use the incriminating evidence she's sitting on to protect herself.
Then leak the damned files. Either piss on the pot or fuck off already.
Stop protecting the Epstein class.
Right?
Not much infuriates me more than when an "anonymous" video drops, or some other haxor fucking losers say they got info and the truth will be revealed or some other dumb fuck shit...
If you got it and you're good people, release it.
Otherwise fuck off, you're probably lying anyway. You're not good people.
500TB is a technical challenge to leak. I'm all for it but damn. That's a lot.
The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear to realize they had penetrated a law enforcement server. The hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI, the person said.
The source said bureau officials defused the situation by convincing the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part by having the hacker join a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera.
Every time I think we've reached peak dumb, it keeps getting dumber. Accidentally a whole server and then hop on Zoom with the FBI, sure, why not. It's too stupid to be made up but maybe that's just another way of trying to slip below the radar.
"Accessed a server"
Gee they must have all the files then 🙄
Yeah I'm not buying this bs at all. it just sounds way too convenient for them. "Oh see! Our evidence was tainted and messed with! Oh well! WAAAR!"
Strap in this one is amazing. FBI forensics guy can't get support for RDP he's been dealing with for weeks. Random guy finds open RDP probably thinks he Jack potted masscan. Looks around the server sees all the CSAM, deletes 500TB(possibly after exporting a copy?), and leaves a message on the server telling them he's reporting them to the FBI. FBI then find this guy's report and convince him to get on a Zoom call and flash their badges to convince him they're the FBI please don't delete anything else. And to make it even funnier google cloud helped them recover 400TB, reads like internal IT didn't even try 🤣
Russia was listening
Which state actor would be interested in that information? I could think of two.
