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.
Probably a false flag operation to identify potential whistleblowers. :-)
By implementing Obamacare, Obama has saved more American lives than any other person in history. Fact.
But only to build his army of gay-married socialist drones.
In certain circles there's no such thing as good news.

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.
Anybody truly paranoid and knowledgeable would not touch this with a 10 ft pole.

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? :-)
You don't even have to split the image, you can split the key using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm, which gives you a way to split information into any N pieces with a minimum of M pieces necessary to reconstruct it for any M = N (or some similar secret splitting method with the same properties). That seems much more practical to me, and you can simply keep redundant data copies around since nobody will have access to the clear text without the key anyway.

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.

I'm unsure home how that compares to the millions of lives W. saved when he invaded Iraq ;)

This is exactly the problem. Sure you could devise a scheme that would be reasonably safe. But the moment you rely on somebody else to do it and you hand him over the entire lot in the clear you are lost. That is the high value place where you can bet all your fortune on the fact that the NSA/CIA will have tapped that spot. For me this kind of service looks like a "whistleblower detection service" for the NSA/CIA. Even if they don't reed the data (they don't need to), they can detect any would be whistleblowers by monitoring the communication channels. One they have a fix on the individual they can talk to them about patriotism and possible health issues of their loved ones.
