  • Some of the Epstein emails were released as scanned PDFs of raw email format (See MIME)

    MIME formatted emails are ASCII based. To include an attachments, which can be binary, the MIME format specifies it must be encoded using base64. Base64 can always take binary input and return an ASCII output. This is trivial to reverse if you have the ASCII output.

    However, the font choice is inconvenient because l and 1 look the same.

    I’m a bit confused by the article is only discussing extracting PDFs while in actuality you can reverse any attachment including images.

    I am also no expert, so a smarter person will now correct me on anything I got wrong.






  • he emailed a lead prosecutor at the Department of Homeland Security, Joseph Dernbach, who was handling the deportation case of an Afghan refugee, identified as H, asking him to consider that the man’s life was in danger from the Taliban.

    That was the content of the email. No threat. No crime. Just telling a prosecutor that he is creating irreputable harm to an individual.

    Both Google and Meta received a record number of subpoenas in the United States during the first half of 2025 as Trump’s second term began, with Google receiving 28,622, a 15 percent increase over the previous six months.

    Bad.
