How can you say that a list of IP addresses is meaningless without investigating who was behind them? There can be a lot of information there.

The idea that someone would set up some kind of hacker convention and offer a reward for hundreds of experts to parse through gigabytes of random fake data that they intentionally created sounds beyond insane. What is the motive for that? I didn't even hear about this convention, so it can't be a PR stunt...

It's just not believable. If that's where we're at, we might as well believe the majority of conspiracy theories which are less far-fetched than this.



>What is the motive for that?

Isn't that obvious? Create enough smoke to make people believe there's a fire.
