Kim Dotcom says Palantir allegedly hacked

[0xbadcafebee]

Why is anyone upvoting this? It's incredibly stupid. There was supposedly "a hack" of a corporation that specializes in security, and these hackers just happened to discover 1) backdoors in world leaders' devices, 2) an archive of blackmail material, 3) transcribed conversations of world leaders, 4) evidence of the development of nuclear and bioterror weapons specifically for ukraine against russia, 5) evidence of Palantir being responsible for "most" (??) deaths in Gaza, 6) all of this will be given to China "and/or" Russia, but 7) they kindly gave it all to Kim Dotcom for safe keeping.

It's like a 4chan post by an 11 year old. His Twitter feed looks like he's mentally ill.

Kim Dotcom isn't trustworthy for a number of reasons. The prime one being, in this case, that he's collaborating with others to short Palantir stock[1], and accordingly has a serious conflict of interest.

Idk, unfortunately if they are really capable of all this, would sound bullish to me.

Interesting, I always thought of Palantir to be more isolated from possible AI bubble bursts bc of government contracts.

IF the allegations are true this would change things, but I’m not sure if this would be a permanent correction or just a temporary slip.

> An AI agent was used to gain super-user access

No telling if this "hack" wasn't really just prompt engineering followed by hallucinations, particularly if the "hacker" was attempting to exfil data via the agent.

[Trasmatta]

That line also sounds exactly like the pseudo tech BS somebody will come up with to try to make something sound legitimate

I wonder how the AI agent managed to bypass the HTML5 mainframe firewall

[markus_zhang]

He is not providing any hard proof so I just went to Walmart to grab some salt.

[cjbenedikt]

Not sure of the hacking - but wouldn't rule out the Palantir assumptions.

[Trasmatta]

I don't feel like Kim Dotcom is a reliable or trustworthy source. Most of what he said isn't really surprising though, but this completely stretches credulity:

> Palantir is creating nuclear and bio weapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia.

It reads like Kim Dotcom fan fiction. Not even mentioning the gross antisemitism in the replies that he's agreeing with.

I hate Palantir and think they're evil, but this post is just silly.

[arduanika]

Yes. Thank you to hooch for prefacing this submission with "Kim Dotcom says", which really helps us to calibrate our trust of the claims!

[cjbenedikt]

Agreed. Palantir isn't likely "creating" anything but data.

I don't think Kim Dotcom or Palantir are trustworthy. So the information is useless in the sense that it could be truth or lies. The only people who this information might be useful to are probably spies for other countries that would have some idea as to whether what theyre seeing matches other data points. And that aint' me so idgaf.

Kremlin A (RU), Kremlin B (US), and most billionaires are battling for supremacy in a multitude of theaters.

[usrusr]

Given the level of totally bonkers I feel tempted to suggest that it's a hit piece indirectly commissioned by palantir themselves so that they can for once appear as the good guys in a news story

[nick1024]

It doesn't pass the smell test at all...

[starkeeper]

I believe Palantir would be SUPER down as cast like an evil super villian world corporation complete with secret satanic rituals. Peter Theil is Lawful Evil. (or Unlawful to be more accurate).

[FrankWilhoit]

If this were true, the very last thing he would do would be to brag about it -- until after all of the potential consequences of it had been achieved.

[snowe2010]

Somebody said he’s shorting the stock

[MisterTea]

> The Palentir data the hackers allegedly gathered will be given to Russia and/or China.

How is China or Russia more trustworthy than Canada, an EU nation, India, Brazil, Cameroon, etc.? It's like saying "I hacked the Gambino crime family but I'm handing the secrets over to the Bonannos and/or the Genovese." I smell bullshit.

[jhanschoo]

This is like a 4chan teenager's fantasy of what Palantir is capable of.

[HeavyStorm]

Yeah, they are also the devil incarnate and Damien lives at their basement.

[sleepyguy]

If Plantir is helping Ukraine to wipe out Russia, God Bless them. Hopefully Kim gets a nice prison cell where he can rot the rest of his life.

[woodpanel]

Interesting, why would you hope for him to be jailed for life? Bc of a tweet?

... wasn't there once a glitch reported in 2019 which allowed unauthorized FBI personnel to access private data for more than a year [The New York Post] this according to a letter by prosecutors in the Manhattan federal court case against accused hacker Virgil Griffith. Obviously Palantir denied the claims in a statement and said the fault was caused by the FBI's incorrect use of the software ... .. isn't this, the "incorrect" use of a software, always the first entry point of every hack ... ...

Torrent out yet?

somebody needs attention

[13415]

That sounds like major bullshit to me.

[burnt-resistor]

This seems like a (counter-)disinfo campaign.

Multiple, vague, wild claims without evidence are always extremely sus. If (and it's a very big if) it were true, the presentation of it comes across as extremely false.

I'm disappointed slightly, but not all dissidents are created morally or ethically superior.
