BTW, the URL in the mail is wrong:

http://www.livejournal.com/user/phantomhack

should be

http://www.livejournal.com/users/phantomhack

in case you're clicking through.

I am looking at this when I should be sleeping.

Subj: Free Ireland Forever

The situation is in hand. Your
Passphrase is secure. There
Is no need to worry. Check
The account logs again to be sure. Remember,
Subject matters like this should not be repeated. Fall in
Line on this operation, Mick.

The only repeated letter in the subject is 'E'. "Fall in line" down the message and add "E" and it anagrams to "SPITTLE".

I've emailed to ask for the stegged file.

Going down the lines, the first words spell 'the passphrase is the subject line'.

Just on the off-chance that hadn't been spotted. I expect you'd noticed, but since it wasn't explicit... Smile

I just looked through his LJ and hes got abit of a theory on the email:

'I don't normally spook that easily, but hell. "Dannyboy" saying Free Ireland Forever talking about orders involving an embassy as a target? That's fucking scary. I'll be checking with some sources to see what the hell is going on. I hope I'm not reading this right.'

i thought it was interesting, but maybe this 'embasy' isnt an embasy in the building sense, but represents something else? I thought this because the text in the stegged file uses pretty good puncuation - capital leters on names etc, but not for 'embasy'. Were my years of english lessons wasted on me or should this have a capital?

Paranoa? i think so!

The more i looked through his LJ account, the more it seemed like a game. Esspecially his most recent post (10 Aug). It sais he got another email from them, and he suggested he should 'skip town for a while'

Let me just point out that sending around emails talking about embassies and what can happen to them, and which sound real-world-ish, is way less innocent-sounding than rabid Halo fans discussing bees and AIs and blown up space ships. The NSA email sniffers look for some things, you know.

Be circumspect, or better still make sure it's clear you are playing a game!
