This turned out to be a useful change.

Big if true. If this is real, is it the first confirmed malicious use of realtime interactive video deepfake?

[trompetenaccoun → mikkohypponen]

No because they also called Vienna and Madrid ;) Apparently the Vienna Mayor didn't notice a thing and even sent out a tweet afterwards. The other two at least got suspicious when the supposed Klitschko asked them weird questions.

[mikkohypponen → trompetenaccoun]

But was it a deepfake or not? This is unprecedented if it was.

[tauchunfall → mikkohypponen]

Klitschko said it was not him who had the calls with the mayors of Berlin and Vienna.

It's interesting that they ignored that whoever pretended to be Klitschko did not speak in German with them.

But I guess this is how it works, when you already trust the other person, you ignore this stuff and invent plausible explanations.

Good point. Doesn't invalidate mine though :)

I believe I have a full collection of the 40Hex zines. Maybe I should add them to this archive.

[jrcii → mikkohypponen]

Jason Scott has some too, I'm not sure how complete his collection is http://www.textfiles.com/magazines/40HEX/

[EvanAnderson → jrcii]

It looks to be complete. Dark Angel's virus writing guides ("ps_vir..." files here http://textfiles.com/virus/) are good for some nostalgia, too.

[tribe → mikkohypponen]

Please do, I think that they would make a great addition.
