Dang. Mark Klein and John Young (cryptome) in two days. Information is going to have a harder time being free. :(
Mark passed a month ago, WSJ just finally got around to writing about it.
Damn, I didn't know that John Young passed.
Why the fuck this isn't on the front page will haunt me until I meet him again and ask, on the yonder side.
I didn't know until I read your comment.
Has it even been posted? I would but I can't find a good source.
I've only seen a single-sentence post on the cryptography mailing list by someone I don't know. (I think the news is true, but it's not the clearest source!)
OK wow had no idea about the Cryptome guy. I haven't been in the fedi lately.
What source can you find for John Young? Except for one extremely dubious blogspam link I can't find anything confirming this.
My only source so far is this anonymous mailing list post.
