      This is going to be another Panama files isn’t it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.

        I’m certain some people will go to jail.

        You can’t just release information about politicians and billionaires and not go to jail.

        I think they were able to recoup a few billion in taxes or something, but like, no arrests or anything. I think one person got killed exposing it too.

        Can people just stop spreading this demoralizing nonsense? Maybe it’s not instant-world-changing, but it’s definitely not “fuck all” either.

          From your links:

          Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

          Original indictment:

          These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

          Make it make sense

          “Not world changing” is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

            Yeah can’t make sense of your last comment, or maybe you misunderstood something?

            I’m saying the impact of Panama paper surely wasn’t instant-world-changing that you might wish for, the world simply doesn’t work that way. Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

            Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.

              Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

              After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.

              To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required decades to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

              Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting

              Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?

                Of course there are far too many frustrating cases than we wish for but still

                Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn’t do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again, focus on what has been done, and pay some respect to the people fighting for you this time?

                  The man running the law firm that managed the fraud never saw a trial, much less a conviction.

                  Your article of "Um, actually!"s doesn’t change that.

              “An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.

              Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.

                It’s funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn’t come across as a “child” as they were older then me at the time.

        To clarify:

        Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this … derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s…

        They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.

        4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed… and then they started their own community ‘Soyjack Party’.

        Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.

        Like… I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts… well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.

        I can’t prove this, because … two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for … less than 24hrs… but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.

        For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.

          Danone is an interesting one. They’re the second largest consumer water supplier in the world.

              Data hoarders defunitely would. Trust me, I’ve got one 14TB HDD just for movies, another 8TB that I now use mostly just for backups, and that gets me probably on the lowest steps of the ladder of people who regularly collect data.

              Also easy to use some Debrid service that would download and store it on the cloud, where you could inspect the files without it all cramming up your local disk space.

        I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?

        Their “vulnerabilities” are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)

              That’s just the output of a nikto scan run on a web server (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/services/nikto)

              It says there are some index files, but you say they’re missing. Did you see the alleged 10TB dump or just the 18GB Mediafire one? If there are index files, there are probably more files.

      There’s a twitter thread. An account named ‘Anonymous France’ has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that’s its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.

      I’d download this but I’m worried it could also contain some form of advanced spyware, and my “security computer” needs a new screen cable at the moment.

        That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.

          well keep in mind that theoretically hdd firmware can hold malware if they get infected

            I remember hearing about that, but I never got around to really looking into it. Can hard drive firmware be infected by data on the disc and/or commands sent over SATA, or is it the kind of attack you need to attach test probes to the controller board or desolder the ROM chip to execute?

              i think oem custom sata commands, but not sure. what I know is that e.g. seagate releases firmware updates to some of their drives

              https://www.seagate.com/support/kb/firmware-updates-for-seagate-products-207931en/

              last I checked it was done by a program running on windows

            I’m curious what you’re referencing. I suppose it could infect the drives controlling chips, but a decent drive should be fine. And if you scramble all the bits I don’t see how there could be malware left

          Old thin clients are good for this. Cost can be as low as $20. With a quad core processor. Maybe not the fastest thing, but can still run linux.

              Hp t620. Best price with a power supply right now is around $30, but recent solds are in the low $20. You can also get an hp g5 sff desktop with a ryzen cpu for around $65.

              I have a few t620s, one with octoprint, and one in the garage for looking up whatever. I think I have lubuntu on it, but I can’t remember. There’s different variants, there’s a dual core and a quad core and a bigger one with a pcie slot. They originally shipped with some lightweight version of win 10.

    A community for discussing events around the World

    Rules:

    • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

      • Post news articles only
      • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
      • Title must match the article headline
      • Not United States Internal News
      • Recent (Past 30 Days)
      • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • 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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19

    • 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.
