FUNFACT: The 'unidentified 'hacker' that obtained the unredacted testimony of Matt Gaetz's victiims didn't 'hack' shit.
Now... don't get me wrong, the unsub may be a 'hacker' but he/she was directed to it from the inside and the documents were very temporarily available to anyone who may have known where to find them.
^^^ TLDR - It was leaked.
@th3j35t3r that it was on an open share is hilarious.
In early college we all had Windows 95 computers. The networking technology of the day was workgroup (omg bad). I changed mine back to the default and suddenly had access to everyone’s files in the local network. I grabbed a bunch of stuff and people thought I was a “hacker”. LOL. Hard no.
Sometimes if you leave the door wide open someone will walk through it.
