The Dark Overlord Decrypts More 9/11 Insurance Files

On New Year's Eve, Motherboard broke the news that a hacking group known as The Dark Overlord was threatening to release a cache of stolen insurance and legal documents related to the 9/11 attacks. After distributing a small preview set of files, the group has now publicly released a decryption key for more files, meaning anyone can download and read them.

[...] Twitter banned The Dark Overlord's account on Wednesday. Reddit followed suit shortly after. In response, The Dark Overlord is now publishing its announcements on Steemit, a blockchain-based and harder to moderate platform. The Shadow Brokers, a self-described hacking group that released a slew of NSA hacking tools, used the same platform for their communications.

The stolen data itself allegedly comes from a legal firm that advised Hiscox Group, a Hiscox spokesperson previously told Motherboard in a statement. The previously released documents included presentation slide decks, legal correspondence between law firms, and letters from a handful of government agencies. 9/11 conspiracy theorists have been particularly interested in the release of the documents, with internet commenters and several conspiracy-minded YouTubers making videos saying that they hope they will somehow reveal a vast conspiracy around the attacks.

[...] The group released the data after receiving 3 bitcoin, or around $11,000, as part of its self-announced crowdfunding effort.

Does anyone have a link to these documents yet?

Also at the Miami Herald.

    Did you look into the evidence that people heard explosions, when the official report denies there were any such sounds heard (whether actually due to explosions or not)?

    What of it? I'm not going to dig into a he said/she said situation. If you had more than unreliable eyewitness reports, you'd have mentioned that instead.

      It is all on the site. They were very thorough.

        Where is the relevant video? I'm not waiting through 10 minutes of propaganda.

          See, you'll just dismiss anything. It isnt ten minutes of propoganda, it is ten minutes of video explaining the evidence. Whatever, if it ends up mattering at all, it'll be your loss.
