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.

    So no source?

    Are you a fucking idiot or what? We know how and why the buildings fell. The only unknown to the public is the financing and internal complicity. Save your bullshit for Infowars!

    Yep, I'm a fucking idiot. I've heard like 5 different theories of why wtc 7 collapsed in this thread alone, all different from the government explanation.

      Just proves the government is wrong, or more likely lying. They had a war and domestic power grab to sell. I don't even give a shit anymore. The sale was made, and here we are.

      Find out who financed the deed and who got rich. Let's hope these docs help us reach that goal.

      I agree. You are a fucking idiot. It's not our job to come up with the one, true explanation for the 911 attacks and why what buildings came down like they did.
