Slater's
messages
with
former
prostitute
revealed
Hacker
dump:
Ex-PM
staffer
in
the
spotlight
Four
years
of
Slater's
email
communications
with
an
ex-prostitute
were
made
available
for
download
from
the
filesharing
site
Mega.co.nz.
The
hacker
community
is
notorious
for
its
mischievous
humour
-
the
choice
of
Mega
was
practical
as
the
only
cloud
storage
offering
user-based
encryption
but
would
also
drive
theories
among
some
that
its
founder
Kim
Dotcom
was
behind
the
hacking.
Dotcom
has
denied
the
claim.
Other
in-jokes
popped
up
when
the
hacker
set
up
the
@whaledump
Twitter
account,
from
which
he
said
he
would
release
further
information.
It
called
itself
"a
wholly
pnwed
subsidary
of
C&M
Ltd"
-
the
"pwned"
being
hacker-speak
for
using
computer
skills
to
dominate
an
opponent
and
C&M
Ltd
being
the
title
of
a
chapter
in
Hager's
book,
Chaos
and
Mayhem
Ltd.
Further
hacker-humour
could
be
found
in
the
encryption
key
-
it
resolved
to
Winston
Peters'
Parliamentary
email
address.
The
hacker
dumped
information
online.
Then
the
person
emailed
the
only
public
comment
they
intend
to
make,
denying
political
motivation
but
a
desire
to
"take
down
this
corrupt
network".
"My
next
batch
of
leaks
will
prove
this."
