So it was a state level actor that organized the doxxing campaign?

dxthrwy856on Xzbot: Notes, honeypot, and exploit demo for the xz backdoor

The parallels in this one to the audacity event a couple years back are ridiculous.

Cookie guy claimed that he got stabbed and that the federal police was involved in the case, which kind of hints that the events were connected to much bigger actors than just 4chan. At the time a lot of people thought its just Muse Group that's involved, but maybe it was a (Russian) state actor?

Because before that he claimed that audacity had lots of telemetry/backdoors which were the reason he forked and removed in his first commits. Maybe audacity is backdoored after all?

Have to check the audacity source code now.
