"An FBI informant helped run the Incognito dark web market and allegedly approved the sale of fentanyl-laced pills, including those from a dealer linked to a confirmed death, WIRED reported this week. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Customs and Border Protection officers sparked a Department of Justice probe. Documents say that CBP officers in the US Virgin Islands were still friendly with Epstein years after his 2008 conviction, illustrating the infamous sex offender's tactics for cultivating allies."
"WIRED published a guide detailing experts' tips and preferred tools for surveillance-resistant organizing and collaboration. In opsec fails, comments and other metadata left on a PDF detailing Homeland Security's proposal to build "mega" detention and processing centers reveal the DHS personnel involved in the plan's creation. And the Department of Homeland Security is making moves to combine its face and fingerprint technologies into a centralized, searchable database across all its agencies."
An FBI informant operated within the Incognito dark web market and allegedly authorized sales of fentanyl-laced pills, including inventory traced to a dealer connected to a confirmed overdose death. Jeffrey Epstein maintained friendships with Customs and Border Protection officers in the US Virgin Islands years after his 2008 conviction, prompting a Department of Justice probe into those relationships. Operational security lapses exposed Homeland Security personnel involved in plans for large detention and processing centers through PDF metadata. DHS is consolidating face and fingerprint biometrics into a centralized, searchable database across agencies. Other incidents include a public database leaking billions of sensitive records and concerns about drone-related airspace shutdowns.
