Service Promises To Leak Your Documents If the Government Murders You

Jason Koebler writes With all the conspiracy theories surrounding some high-profile deaths in recent years, how can you, theoretical whistleblower with highly sensitive documents, be assured that your information gets leaked if you're murdered in some government conspiracy? A new dark web service says it's got your back. "Dead Man Zero" claims to offer potential whistleblowers a bit more peace of mind by providing a system that will automatically publish and distribute their secrets should they die, get jailed, or get injured.

Wouldn't there also be a group of people (not the government) that might want those secrets out? This gives them a reason to kill you with a guarantee that they get what they want.

Station wagon full of tapes ...

The USA would have the keys to all of them, since they seem to 0wnz the entire world's internet. (NSA spying on all the pipes, etc.)

Believe it or not, it is possible to move digital information (like a key) around the world without using the internet.

Drive that station wagon full of tapes to a port and have the station wagon loaded into a cargo container? :-)

Blackmail Use?

Read the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton". Got the goods on someone? Upload them to Dead Man Zero, set the timer, and then go squeeze the victim. The victim won't retaliate as they then won't be able to stop the disclosure.
