A post on LinkedIn's blog this morning announced that data had been released which "claims to be email and hashed password combinations of more than 100 million LinkedIn members from that same theft in 2012" A hacker known only as "Peace" was offering the complete dump on a darknet marketplace The Real Deal for the price of 5 Bitcoin. While LinkedIn claims to have increased security measures since the 2012 hack many users were still using the same password, likely across multiple sites. Passwords from that breach were unsalted, making it likely the majority were cracked within a few days after the hack. The company said there was no indication that any new security breach had occurred.

Transmayos Throw Wrench In Hussein Bahamas' Bathroom Brouha
Last week much of the American media's news pipelines were constipated by the announcement that President Hussein Bahamas (WOT: nonperson) intended to make the etiquette of bathroom selection a Federal matter with strict rules enforced by the criminal gang in Washington DC. The crux of the move by Hussein Bahamas is to ensure schools are compelled to force students to use bathrooms that correspond with the student's outward gender expression. Hussein Bahamas' announcement however regressively adhered to a male/female gender binary ignoring the increase in individuals who have transitioned into the mayogender (archived). Continue reading
Hussein Bahamas "Justice" Department To Jail US Citizen Indefinitely Without Charges
Former Philadelphia police sergeant Francis Rawls has been held at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center for seven months without any charges being filed, and lawyers from the Hussein Bahamas "Justice" department are seeking to have him continue to be held until either he surrenders encryption keys or Mr. Rawls body ceases to continue sustaining his life. Prosecutors have no evidence that Rawls committed any crime, but they insist they would have an abundance of evidence if only Mr. Rawls would just incriminate himself by disclosing the means to decrypt this volume. The 5th amendment to the United States consitution normally constrains prosecutors and courts from compelling defendants to incriminate themselves, but the last supreme court Justice died in February and lesser appellate court judges who could intervene are too busy refereeing sportsball.
Countable ClassicCoin Nodes Dropping
Supporters of the failed "Bitcoin Classic" fork are likely feeling dismay as they awoke to the news that Classic node count was down over 40% in the last 24 hours. Reddit users supportive of Classic blamed the fallen node count on "unreachable servers" and other technical maladies, and are likely to spin up another thousand AWS nodes as a token show of support.
Altcoin Exchange Hacked, Claims $2 Million United States dollars Lost

Bitcoin Fork "Core" Plans To "Open Up" Contribution Process
The "Core" fork of the reference Bitcoin client plans to open up their development process in order to solicit changes from parties uninterested in technology. The move is supposedly inspired by the ClassicCoin coup attempt as developers of the "Core" client prepare their own "CoreCoin" coup attempt. As other hostile social engineers did before, they will attempt to move value from actual Bitcoin to their altcoin by fraudulently misrepresenting their effort as some sort of "natural evolution" or enhancement of Bitcoin.
Unlike the ClassicCoin team this different merry brand of fraudsters will lean on their history of conning the mining cartel1 into enforcing various option "soft forks" unrelated to the actual Bitcoin protocol as a sort of magical token of legitimacy. Nevertheless their claims of "stewardship" over Bitcoin have still less basis in fact than the Australian Fraudster Hoaxtoshi's claims of having created Bitcoin.
The "CoreCoin" team has not yet publically made any content containing statements on what they will bring to the table actually justifying the grave move to hard fork Bitcoin deferring to their need, like Gavin did, to do it so people know it can be done.
The fact that the CoreCoin developers and leaders of the major mining pools have gathered together and entered into contracts together is prima facie evidence that "Yes Virginia, there is a mining cartel." ↩

Incidents Of Ischemic Brain Damage Increase Among Younger Adults In United States
The American Heart Associated is noting that there has been a sharp increase in the number of American between 25 and 44 suffering ischemic strokes, while the hospitalizations among the elderly for these injuries are falling.1 These trends are concurrent with the rise in movements promoting Obeastiality and Transmayogenderism in the American political left.2 While younger persons suffering from ischemic brain injuries tends to recover their mobility faster than the aged, the contemporary average mobility of young American adults doesn't enjoy a much higher baseline than the elderly due to the embrace of Obeastiality by the young.
Insurgent Florida Politician Arrested After Auditing Local Election Website Security
A security audit of the Lee County Supervisor of Elections website conducted and responsibly reported by occasional insurgent political candidate David Levin (WOT:Unknown/Undisclosed) of Estero, Florida lead to Mister Levin's arrest on three felony charges. After disclosing the results of the audit to the current Supervisor of Elections, Mister Levin and David Sinclair (WOT:Unknown/Undisclosed), an acquaintance of Levin's running against the current supervisor of elections for the job, produced a video so the public could see the sort of nuisance website being run by the current office holder, one Sharon Harrington (WOT:nonperson). There is no word yet at press time on possible sanctions to be levied against Harrington for operating a public nuissance. Sorry for your laws.
Abducted Liberty Reserve Founder Sentenced To 20 Years In Prison
Arthur Budovsky, a Costa Rican National living in Spain at the time he was abducted to suffer a show trial in the United States, has been sentenced by said kangaroo court to 20 years in prison. Preet Bharara's (WOT:nonperson) office was naturally involved with the prosecution offering:
Despite all his efforts to evade prosecution, including taking his operations offshore and renouncing his citizenship, Budovsky has now been held to account for his brazen violations of U.S. criminal laws
Even though all of those measures would to the contrary suggest that Budovsky instead simply had no interest in having any relationship with the United States at all. Unfortunately for Budovsky the United States was far less willing than he to end the relationship on amicable terms choosing to subject a man who did everything in his power to cleanly sever the relationship to sanctions as though they were still connected in any way beyond the abduction of Budovsky. Sorry for your laws.
