The file which contains source code for older titles plus development kits for the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, is encrypted and SuperDaeE claims that it is his insurance in case he gets arrested."

    I have 2.0 GB of source code for Windows 8, Windows 9 alpha, Call of Duty Ghosts, World of Warcraft Annihilation and Donkey Kong Junior. I have encrypted the file and am withholding the key in case I get arrested. But trust me, it's all there.

      You needed Donkey Kong Junior just to make you hit 2.0 Gigabytes exactly. Right?

      If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

      Please, if you're going to steal something you should check to make sure it's of real value to someone first. Donkey Kong Junior is perhaps the biggest ticket item you've mentioned!

    "Listen up, world! I've got evidence that the senator's been holding a human trafficking and slavery ring in the #7 warehouse on the docks, as well as papers showing the exact schedules of these activities and how they've helped his campaigns! And here's all of that evidence for download! I'm using this as insurance against him arresting me for my breaking and entering into his office to get this information!"
    "So... how is this insurance?"
    "Because if he tries to arrest me, I'll release all the information to the world!"
    "But you just did that."
    "Of course I did! That way he knows I'm not bluffing! If he tries something stupid, I'll release it all again! So you see, Senator, I hold all the cards!"

    At least we know this hacker isn't Canadian. With our current ISP plans, it would have taken 1.5 years to upload 1.7TB of data without busting the bank in extra fees for bandwith.

    I've released a file which contains the complete plans for the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator which can blow up the earth.

    The file is encrypted, and if the local parking meter attendants put anymore tickets on my suburban, I'll release the passphrase.

    I really, really will!

    That is all.

      I cracked your encryption, and built it. Then I tried it out.

      To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Where was the KABOOM? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering KABOOM!!!

    Repeated 1024 times to account for the 1.7TiB of data?

    Because yelling a passphrase is easier than yelling out 1.7TB of data on the spot?

    They're trashing our rights, man! They're trashing the flow of data! Hack the planet!
