The Dark Overlord hacker group has released decryption keys for a second batch of 9\/11 documents, totalling over 7,500 files. Additional document leaks containing \u201cmore secrets\u201d and \u201cmore truth\u201d have been promised, for a price.<\/p>\n
The first\u00a0batch<\/a>\u00a0of the supposed 18,000 documents was made available by the hackers at the weekend, along with a decryption key for \u2018layer 1\u2019 of the dump. The documents are believed to have been stolen from insurance companies, law firms and government agencies, and the hackers originally demanded an unspecified bitcoin ransom to keep them unreleased.<\/p>\n After apparently failing to secure the ransom, the group then took bitcoin donations from the public, releasing \u2018layer 1\u2019 after collecting $12,000 \u2013 but then also releasing \u2018layer 2<\/a>\u2019 on Wednesday despite not meeting its funding target.<\/p>\n So far, no \u2018smoking gun\u2019 has emerged detailing conspiracy or government involvement in the terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n Talking strategy, the lawyers mull taking action against Boeing for not fitting the 757 and 767 aircraft used in the attacks with automatic transponders, which could have alerted authorities sooner that something was amiss, a case that the lawyers admit in the documents was flimsy. The lawyers also discuss dropping a case against the FAA, for fear of rankling the government.Instead, the documents build up a picture of insurance litigators brainstorming to see who they could sue for damages in the wake of the attacks. In emails, the lawyers discuss targeting the airlines, airplane manufacturers, the Federal Aviation Authority, the terrorists themselves, and foreign entities.<\/p>\n Along the way, the litigators discuss whether then-President George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the attacks, or whether the Saudi Royal family was responsible, but this discussion is speculative and no damning new information is revealed.<\/p>\n While the encryption key for the first batch of documents has been scrubbed from Reddit, Pastebin and Twitter, it remained available for several days on Steemit. Dark Overlord\u2019s account was banned from the platform on Wednesday, however, but the documents can be accessed on\u00a0Busy.org<\/a>, a website that runs on the same blockchain as Steemit.<\/p>\n DarkOverlord's account on @steemit<\/a> has also been deleted. So much for centralization. However his posts have been recorded on the #steem<\/a> blockchain, and those posts are accessible via other apps running on the Steem blockchain like @PartikoTeam<\/a> – just download their app pic.twitter.com\/zQQTgFCkfN<\/a><\/p>\n — wethepeople \u2b50\ufe0f \u2b50\ufe0f \u2b50\ufe0f (@armyofpeople) January 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
