Like the globe, Cryptome got the COFEE files from Torrent and wanted to see what Microsoft and Netsol would do when the copyfilth snoopfest was offered on a plain-sight website easily targeted. It's been several years since the last takedown notice for Cryptome, none since being hosted on Netsol. There's the result: snarf COFEE.

No, the material was not returned to MS, nor was it asked for, nor for log files, nor has MS apologized for Windows being so bloated, unstable, insecure and riddled with backholes for use by TLAs.

COFEE is a diversion and another example of the complicity ingrained in giant corps to aid official and commercial spying through browsers, ftp, http, faulty crypto, leaky data farms, telecomm splitters, juicy NDA contracts and grants to non-profits, internet nodes, not to say OSs, cells, i-pods, household appliances, e-games, porn sites, anything digital missing from this list.

Honestly, aping this noble forum, Cryptome's only purpose is to disinfo slight resistance to the tsunami of edu, com, gov, mil, intel kind.

I couldn't help but notice that Verio issued the shutdown notice on the same day that you posted the first information from the Coast Guard Deepwater program debacle.

Is is possible that either the Coast Guard or Lockheed is behind shutting you down?

Cryptome answers:

A, you hit the nail on the head. The Deepwater expose, and attempts to conceal it, points to the prime suspect for the shutdown. Verio would not buckle for anything less, based on past practice, and are probably hoping the shutdown would be seen for what it really is: they've been ordered not to disclose anything which would call attention to the Deepwater material and its threat to national security.

The congressional folks may have more to demand answers about trying to suppress Deepwater failures: subpoena Verio, show the defense cartel's dirty fighting is getting dirtier.

The archived Deepwater material will be posted shortly.
