Anouther Burner Burned
| I feel like there's more to your new hacker contact than meets the eye, burner or no. -Neon Knight
| Oh for sure, going to have to vet them and all that. Though, if they are good enough to track me down inside a night and pierce my phone then they are contact worth keeping in touch with.
That said, anyone know about a hacker by the handle AQUILA?
~NeoC
| Doesn't ring a bell. -Neon Knight
| Not one I've heard of either. Sorry. I'll do some digging for you.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| Never heard of them, which is something I cant say about a lot of hackers around town.
Are they any good?
-Kou
| Hmm...Not finding anything on this "AQUILA". At all. This means they're either:
#1. New to the game and don't have a reputation yet,
#2. Going by other handles and simply disguising as this one in order to hide their true identity or,
#3. They're SINless, IDless and as such are total phantoms in the system.
Any way it is, we won't really have a reliable way of tracking them down without turning it into a witch hunt.

Even if they were SINless, I would of heard of them, I have contacts.
Hell, I'm SINless myself
-Kou

No, I wasn't saying being SINless made them untrackable, I was simply saying they must be very good at covering their tracks and leaving no trace. Besides, no offense but everybody has contacts, that doesn't always guarantee you'll be informed of everything, everywhere.

Yeah, sure.
But I pride myself in knowing pretty much every hacker or technomancer on the street, knowing one managed to slip under my radar is making me wonder if I didnt miss any other.

| Update: Some associates of mine in Europe seem to be familiar with the name. Aquilla seems to be part of a hacking consortium; The "information should be free" types rather than the black hat sort.
Beyound that, I'm not a prestigious enough hacker to join thier board or node group. My associates only told me this much because I called a favour in.
Not sure if I want to keep digging. I don't mind pulling the curtains back on a corporate agent but I am curious still.
~NeoC
| Should clarify, Aquilla and the consortium are not corporates. But if they were I would be way more enthusiastic about knowing who Aquilla was. If only to not have my fees for corporate work evaded.
I don't like exposing street hackers. That'sa cop's game not mine.

European, huh? What did a European free-net hacker want with you? And why, if they are in fact free-net supporters, would they be working with syndicates like the one you mentioned you were working for? I'm not sure this entirely adds up if you ask me.

| So, I had a meeting with an associate earlier tonight. Standard stuff, selling info about where some syndicate snitch was hiding out. I figure, never hear from him or his again.
Night goes on, I'm on the subway, and the associate's hacker friend pays my phone a visit. Asking if I'm screwjobing their friend.
Upside, I now have a new hacker contact; downside I had to throw away the phone they hacked.
This is why I always use burners.
