A few years ago, I forget which leak it was, but there was a report that the NSA had an undisclosed honeypot service which was used by millions of people around the world who thought it was giving them some privacy online. Some people said it was probably a VPN. Maybe it's tor, or i2p? some cryptocurrency? But which one? is it Raddle?? Let's have a good, old-fashioned FUD party.

PS: it might have been the CIA's honeypot that I was thinking of, who knows it was years ago and around the same time as the Vault 7 stuff. You know they probably have multiple honeypots per agency. That's what I'd do, if I was a master spy. Spy master? Surveillance Lady? Baroness of Subterfuge? But this begs the question. Which are the honeypots, which are not the honeypots, and most crucially which are the honeypots honeypotting each other? How often do the intelligence agencies try to hack each other? How many soldiers are injured or killed by friendly fire every year, worldwide, and who's the worst at not shooting their own team? How many cops are arrested or confronted by cops while themselves undercover? How many undercover police shoot other undercover police, or otherwise injure/fight them? How much of this money, time, and resources on policing and military and surveillance is literally just this, worldwide?

Everything Is a honeypot and the internet is never to be trusted.

Its probably some kind of commercial VPN like NordVPN, though, in that specific case.
