> This data center provider was recently outted as part of the #BlueLeaks breach, because all 78 DHS Fusion Center sites were hosted there.

What's that?

I'm a little lost. Could you spell it out for someone who has no familiarity with any of these operations? (I.e., What exactly was the NSA doing, and what was its relationship to Data Foundry?)

I submitted a Cryptome post that might help some [1]. Scroll down and read points 1-5.

Being familiar with the original #BlueLeaks story is also helpful to understand [2].

Thanks for the tip. The Cryptome archives are a treasure!

You're arguing the NSA is aiding Child Sex Abuse because they had a machine colocated in the same datacenter as a usenet provider?

I must have misunderstood something. I'm not a fan of the NSA but that sounds ridiculous. Even if it were true (which is likely) it has nothing to do with them

> Recently a local data center provider in Central Texas was found to be a major nexus for Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) material. Data Foundry, formerly known as Texas.net.

There’s CP on usenet? shocking

> It also now appears to have been a major collection node, codenamed WAXTITAN, for the NSA's BOUNDLESS INFORMANT program

You have no idea if this is true, you’re just speculating based on the appearance of a single Data Foundry IP address in a leaked NSA slide which you don’t understand.
