With all the conspiracy theories surrounding some high-profile deaths in recent years, how can you, theoretical whistleblower with highly sensitive documents, be assured that your information gets leaked if you're murdered in some government conspiracy? A new dark web service says it's got your back.
'Dead Man Zero' [deep web link] claims to offer potential whistleblowers a bit more peace of mind by providing a system that will automatically publish and distribute their secrets should they die, get jailed, or get injured.
“So what if something happens to you?” the site reads. “Especially if you're trying to do something good like blow the whistle on something evil or wrong in society or government. There should be consequences if you are hurt, jailed, or even killed for trying to render a genuine and risky service to our free society."
"Now you have some protection. If 'something happens' to you, then your disclosures can be made public regardless,” the site promises.

all from the above link... so is it just my paranoia kicking in or could this be a honeypot seeking out potential whistleblowers?
thoughts?
I would never trust a single source. Best to distribute encrypted data to many sources.
