He hacked into Bill Clinton's secret data, then he was poisoned

Have you ever heard of this man?


Lawrence Bonk writes at IJReview.com,

Gareth Williams was a British spy. He was tasked, among other things, with hacking into former President Bill Clinton’s secret data.

Then, 5-years-ago, he was discovered dead and stuffed into luggage:
Gareth Williams (pictured), 31, was discovered in a holdall in the bath at his London home five years ago this month, but the mystery surrounding his death has never been solved.

Williams, who was a math genius and expert cryptographer, left voicemails for friends and family shortly before his death that were later discovered to have been deleted by a third party.

It was also discovered, during an inquest, that there is no way that he would have been able to stuff himself inside of that luggage.

In other words, someone had to have put him there.

...The running theory is that Williams was poisoned, though the perpetrator remains at large.

Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton, who discovered the body, noted that the heat was turned up to its maximum setting, to help decompose the body which, in turn, would eliminate the poison.

"D" weapons

Spiegel Online writes:

According to top secret documents from the archive of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden seen exclusively by SPIEGEL, they are planning for wars of the future in which the Internet will play a critical role, with the aim of being able to use the net to paralyze computer networks and, by doing so, potentially all the infrastructure they control, including power and water supplies, factories, airports or the flow of money.

During the 20th century, scientists developed so-called ABC weapons -- atomic, biological and chemical. It took decades before their deployment could be regulated and, at least partly, outlawed. New digital weapons have now been developed for the war on the Internet. But there are almost no international conventions or supervisory authorities for these D weapons, and the only law that applies is the survival of the fittest.

The US Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force have already established their own cyber forces, but it is the NSA, also officially a military agency, that is taking the lead. It's no coincidence that the director of the NSA also serves as the head of the US Cyber Command. The country's leading data spy, Admiral Michael Rogers, is also its chief cyber warrior and his close to 40,000 employees are responsible for both digital spying and destructive network attacks.
