For some reason the other submission is being flagged, but I think it is important for others to see.


This submission has an aspect that is relevant to this community: cybercrime. And Brian Krebs. So it is unlikely to be flagged.[1]

Auditing the Pentagon, to take one example that I flagged, has very little tech relevance. This is not a site for discussing politics: read the guidelines.

1. Despite the fact that it is likely to be character assassination, pretending teenage hijinks are somehow a disqualifying for a job, and only relevant in the sense of the old adage, "set a thief to catch a thief".


There is a post which was flagged twice that was submitted by another user.

That is the reason I actually found the post and was amazed it was flagged so soon, when I got back to HN post after reading it. (15 minutes).

the post does not discuss politics but a certain member of the new team and some of his past, and maybe future.

re 1: why would somebody so respected in the cybersec community go after politics all of a sudden and not simply do that from curiosity? also, why would there be only one of those posts? I would expect more in this case.

I am asking simply to understand, I am not from the U.S and really am not involved in politics.

edit: question to pt. 1 in parent



It's become unflagged again. Enough users must have vouched for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42979187

It may well end up being re-flagged.
