Max Vision: FBI pawn?
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2001-05-08

Will DEFCON now have a "spot the informer" tshirt contest ? 2001-05-09

Will DEFCON now have a "spot the informer" as well as the traditional "spot the Fed" tshirt contest ?

This case is an example of how the PGP web of trust model can potentially become a "web of suspects".

How will this case encourage anyone to cooperate with the FBI in the future ?
