He's likely to be identified as he gets more brazen. Even authoring this volume of text is risky, and there are other notes from the same author linked within. Spelling can be used to approximate region and phrases or errors such as "the hard of the business" ("heart of") and "passtime" ("pastime") are even stronger markers. Of course there's no way to tell if these are unintentional or planted errata.
I'm grateful for the information. It's incredibly interesting, but it might come at great expense to the author.
This text is a translation. The original is in Spanish. It might have its own mistakes and traces, although I am not knowledgeable to detect country-specific patterns. http://pastebin.com/raw/GPSHF04A
Presumably, given that they talk about EU culture^W^W^W^W (see comment below) have a https://securityinabox.org/es/… link, the author is from Spain, which would make it easier to pinpoint an origin, as Spain has a wider spectrum of language differences than in most other Spanish-speaking countries.
Since there is a link to http://madrid.cnt.es/, they maybe live in the capital, which weighs 3 million inhabitants.
That's an error on the translation, "EEUU" is the Spanish acronym for "Estados Unidos", referring to the United States of America, not the EU (in Spanish, "UE" for "Unión Europea")
Did you verify that the stuff you refereed to as only being known if you follows Italian news is not on the net? Don't those Italian news outlets have websites?
This guy seems to be pretty good at googling around for stuff.
You comment about spelling and phrases reminds me of the NYT's Dialect Quiz Map. I tried it and it was accurately able to guess where I was originally from. While not useful by itself, I could see it being handy as part of an overall investigation.
Hadn't seen it before and so looked it up -- pretty neat. Unfortunately the "results page" was broken, but the individual questions & associated heatmaps were still very interesting. Thanks!
Thats the thing, HT or Gamma without the co-operation of international law enforcement presumably would have a very hard time finding these people in a legal manner. So whats going on up there.
