    Sure, but that's just one of the many Playpen cases.

    I wonder how would they decide if other defendants would try to follow this path.

    Any chance, I wonder, if this hack is in upcoming Wikileaks dumps? Since I live on TOR this attracts my attention. Always highly compartmentalized OPsec, but I still want to know.

    As I understand FBI was behind this hack. IDK if they share their tools and hacks with CIA.

    I doubt very much if NIT would pwn Whonix, even on a Linux host in VirtualBox.
