Conspiracy: Theory and Practice - Continuing Ed — with Edward Snowden
As I found myself made vulnerable to all manner of Internet fantasy, and interrogated by journalists about my past, about my family background, and about an array of other issues both entirely personal and entirely irrelevant to the matter at hand, there were moments when I wanted to scream: “What is wrong with you people? All you want is intrigue, but an honest-to-God, globe-spanning apparatus of omnipresent surveillance riding in your pocket is not enough? You have to sauce that up?”

Mystery as 5,000 homing pigeons vanish into thin air - Wales Online
Pigeon fanciers are trying to work out how around 5,000 birds have disappeared into a “Bermuda triangle” in a single race in what is being called one of the worst days ever for the sport. A race from Peterborough to the North East saw 9,000 pigeons taking part in what would normally be a three-hour competition but more than half have yet to arrive.

Hackers exploited 0-day, not 2018 bug, to mass-wipe My Book Live devices
So why would someone who successfully wrangled so many My Book Live devices into a botnet turn around and wipe and reset them? And why would someone use an undocumented authentication bypass when they already have root access?
The most likely answer is that the mass wipe and reset was performed by a different attacker, very possibly a rival who either attempted to take control of the rival’s botnet or simply wanted to sabotage it.
