In the private sector, especially financial, regulators would be all over company employees sending work documents with private email.

FSA/FCA archives are full of multi-million fines for such violations, even if they didn't end up in a breach.

But not in public sector in Poland - you can send whatever to whatever crappy private email you have and you're a "victim".

Public gov.pl announcement kind of confirms the leaks were legitimate - and includes rather ridiculous statement about "helping the victims with securing their email" - as a reminder, these officials likely violated Polish law and gov operational procedures.

Presenting them as "victims" is just about as accurate as with someone knowingly driving on a public road in a car with no brakes 🤷

And it's not new - infosec community has been talking about it for years.

Once again alleged leaks from 🇵🇱 gov officials allegedly using private mailboxes for work. Assuming leaks are genuine, who did it doesn't really matter - the root cause is negligence of public officials and they are the only to blame 🤷 And they are to blame for both using private email for work, and for using it without sufficiently strong authentication.

I've just installed Molly, open-source implementation/build of Signal messenger.

In short: it works great.

The only issue was that it couldn't restore the backup created by the actual Signal app apparently due to Molly implementing slightly older version of backup format.

"Fajsławice county also got the bomb threat email but it caused no disruption to the office operations as the email was only read on Thursday, many hours after the alleged bomb going off"

🇬🇧 Dean Morrice: Former Ukip member found guilty of neo-Nazi terror offences

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/dean-morrice-ukip-terrorism-court-b1863274.html

This is a very informative thread in 🇷🇺 tweeting live updates from the trial broadcast https://twitter.com/Mortis_Banned #MH17

So when you hear next time "no evidence for missile fragments from Buk rocket", this is 100% false - there have been hundreds of metal pieces found in the fuselage, plane cockpit, seats, books inside cockpit and pilots' bodies. There have been ~370 missile fragments recovered and the court went through them one by one, comparing them with different missile versions. There also have been pieces of the rocket and avionics recovered.

In general, all claims by official Russian bodies are now taken apart piece by piece, with all, even the most bizarre statements, checked against satellite photos and evidence.

You might wonder why is it even needed if there's overwhelming amount of evidence for Russian "Buk" in #MH17 case?

Russia has claimed "there's no real evidence" and "all Russian evidence has been ignored". This is precisely why the court goes through all these Photoshopped photos where "originals were destroyed"...

* Zaroschenskoe - Russia replied it did not officially collect any witness statement from the Ukrainian officer who claimed on Russian TV he saw "Buk" there

Russian MoD also published some satellite photos of "Buk" at Zaroschenskoe - and here's the best part...

Russia replied it cannot provide the originals of the photos because they were destroyed as cloudy and low-quality.

The digital photos MoD published were however significantly modified, with different elements copy-pasted.

The most telling part is where the court reads official responses from Russian Federation about the theories they have themselves pushed:

* Ambrosievka - no witnesses of any "Buk" presence there and most importantly outside of "Buk" range (36 km)
