  • Thank you for sharing this. I found it very touching - especially his response when he was tracked down years later and reflected on the moment he asked the question:

    "… I think it’s an affront to play the game of “you don’t have the ‘need to know’” for someone who’s doing one of the most serious, grave jobs that there is in the armed forces. I have to say, I feel I do have a need to know, because I am a human being.

    It is inherent in an officer’s commission that he has to do what is right in terms of the needs of the nation despite any orders to the contrary. You really don’t know at the time of key turning, whether you are complying with your oath of office.

    I am left with a deep and growing hunger for peace among people at every level. It seems urgent to me that we find ways to become a more tolerant and forgiving people.

    Perhaps, I was not a good match for duty as a missile launch officer.”

    Such a very good man.











  • The campaign has been codenamed SANDWORM_MODE by supply chain security company Socket. As with prior Shai-Hulud attack waves, the malicious code embedded into the packages comes with capabilities to siphon system information, access tokens, environment secrets, and API keys from developer environments and automatically propagate by abusing stolen npm and GitHub identities to extend its reach.

    “The sample retains Shai-Hulud hallmarks and adds GitHub API exfiltration with DNS fallback, hook-based persistence, SSH propagation fallback, MCP server injection with embedded prompt injection targeting AI coding assistants, and LLM API Key harvesting,” the company said.

    The packages, published to npm by two npm publisher aliases, official334 and javaorg, are listed below -

  • The files show that Smolin continued to correspond with Epstein, and the two made repeated efforts to talk by phone and meet up, until at least 2013 — five years after the latter pleaded guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor and another criminal count. The paper trail appears to contradict Smolin’s own account of his relationship with Epstein.

    Imagine continuing an association with a child rape trade ringleader after learning of their heinous crime. This is horrible.
