Windows already gave up the GUID tracking capabilities to FBI earlier this year and it allowed them to track a user even past a VPN, the “scattered spider” scandal.
Something more interesting, I think, is how quickly Take Two was able to get info out of Discord. That platform really has turned into a shitshow cog in the machine which is Peter Theil’s surveillance state.
Basically end to end encryption doesn’t protect you if your endpoint is exposed, and that’s the case with Windows because they’re shipping your unique identifier to sites you visit.

Has Discord already handed over info? Nothing in the article about it
I find it difficult to imagine they could Identify 3 specific servers in association with the leaks oterwise, but I guess it’s possible.
Are the leakers primarily publishing on Discrd? That would just be silly.
Fucking hell. How did that ever came to this /r
