HF wikipedia page - tripleseven - Feb 7, 2022
Was just checking the wikipedia page of HF when I stumbled across this:
"On 29 October 2018, Vice Media reported that Saud Al-Qahtani, advisor to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and one of the alleged masterminds behind the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, was heavily active on Hack Forums for many years under the username Nokia2mon2, requesting assistance in hacking victims and purchasing malicious surveillance software. There were rumours among users of Hack Forums that Nokia2mon2 was connected to the government of Saudi Arabia and he was using the website as a resource to perform espionage on journalists, foreigners, and dissidents."
I mean I knew about luminosity link nanocore etc but this was still new to me.

I find it a bit odd that he would resort to this forum.
Not that there is anything innately wrong with it, but I kinda expect them to have better connections rather than to have to resort to this public place.
