I have read somewhere that ISIS mostly runs on cryptocurrency now because it's harder to block.
Oh here
> They delve in weapons and human trafficking, sometimes take part in drug smuggling, more and more engage in crypto mining and frauds related to the crypto industry - the whole Islamic State is now operating by crypto, whether it’s various European countries, West or East Africa, Asia, or such weird places like Costa Rica, Brazil or Argentina.

edit:
but it seems they have mostly moved to Monero

I feel sad honestly.
Yes all the bureaucracy was annoying. But when I asked on Stack Overflow, the same question is there 5 7 10 years later, queryable by everyone. Ironically by LLMs too.
While when I ask LLMs - as I do now, of course, nobody has time for SO nowadays - nothing is left, everything is ephemeral, LLM forgets, the world doesn't learn.
Oh well. They will surely bolt LLM to SO one day as Quora did already.

Oh it's Minecraft! I didn't realize what is this about for the longest time. I thought it's their own game named "blocks".

I have no idea! I just react to the claim that this is not a real person. I have no idea if there is a PHP exploit, I have not looked that hard; but it is interesting nobody actually linked one so far, and all the write-ups people link are obviously LLM generated.
But again this is very very simple to refute by actually linking a working PoC.

There is something called "wrapping/unwrapping" - you encrypt the key, move it to the other HSM, and it unwraps it. So what moves around is encrypted. I don't know enough about HSMs to tell you if it's done using symetric or asymetric crypto, but no the key should not move around in the plaintext.
The write-up from eMudhra mentions something about wrapping/unwrapping ceremony failing.

Yes there was something about key names in the write-up (which I cannot find now)
oh here

It seems there was some issue with the ceremony with some wrapping/unwrapping scripts.
They explicitly said they wanted to export the keys from the HSM; the keys were intended for USA/Europe (for sovereignty reasons) but were never actually used.
It seems the HSM itself worked, their ceremony around wrapping/unwrapping didn't.

Well, if you use Brave, Tor is just one click

Well humans should NOT glance at private keys! That is the whole point of HSMs!

It has parts that are human written and parts that are generated. I couldn't tell at first, but now seeing it in Pangram, it's kind of clear.

I don't know, I just consider quitting, but the money is still keeping me here.
...but that's literally LTSC.
