After a couple of weeks (and finding no more than 46 confirmed "Persons of Interest (by 'State Actors')", I'm at a loss as to why we received it. Looking at the list members and our posts, nothing stands out as being noteworthy.
Except for the fact that there are a lot of privacy sphere and opensource contributors there. Various actors would definitely want to attack and infiltrate such things. #opsec y'all.

They might not want the information (they probably have it any way), but they might want to convince those people to stop doing what they're doing. And chilling effect tends to work for some. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

For some... Trust me.. I know that. From something I just typed to someone offlist regarding my younger daze...
My father, who, as I mentioned, was a US Army-attached coordinator for technical writers during the Gemini and Apollo program, was spooked by the feds and had his security clearance threatened because of my 16 year old asses involvement in the anti-Vietnam War movement brought to the fed's attention by the New York city "Red Squad" (Bureau of Special Services). At that time they didn't know he hadn't seen me in 10 years and had little sway over my life. Today, as Ed Snowden's dox show, they WOULD know, and they can do this sort of stalking to anyone in minutes, if not an hour or so.

it's the same dumb scam that fukerberg is doing. A while back the facebook cunts launched the same psy-op. Hey, we have 'information' that an evil state is 'attacking' you, but that's all we can say. Of course, it's understood that the attacker is russian, chinese, or arab terrists, or something like that. And captain americuntwitter is saving you! Aren't you glad that you live in a liberal democracy?
