I found it on twitter, I hadn't seen it before. The guy told me how to fetch the files without the key.
All the files actually had a pdf header (even the .txt file) but somehow wouldn't display in a PDF reader.
I extracted all images with poppler-utils and... there's nothing to see there: http://sli.mg/dT0GUN
I suspect they just use some proprietary menu printing hard/software that uses its own obfuscated zip/pdf format. The same pictures were recovered from all the files.
As much as I hoped this was the ultimate proof and as much as I was scared to open them, this is very ordinary stuff.
edit: This might still be it... the files I fetched all have the same md5sum and sizes do not reflect what we see on the screenshot. Deliberately misleading maybe ?
Here is the md5sum for the bogus files: 40945f377df25ec64457f88e4bcfb40b

I tried downloading the files without a key after it was discovered. Looks like the site requires you to have the correct key, before it downloads the correct file. It always downloaded the same ~7MB zip-file, which was the menu of the place after renaming the suffix to .pdf.
This was after the first image you linked started circulating, so no way to check if the ULDL-area exists, unless you can crack the password to the protected-area.

Indeed... all those files have the same md5sum and the listed sizes do not match.

You can make over $100,000 each child per year. Don't think they'd be hiring amateurs for their operational security... They're opposite from amateurs, professional and experienced mafia. Don't underestimate them.

Those people don't seem to be smart enough to use it. Look at the number of failures in their emails.

You are probably right, but still, doesn't hurt to check. As far as i know, pedostrash love this technique.
Also, i don't believe they'r stupid. I believe they'r just over confident and cheeky

My theory is that they are over confident. They hired someone to do their security so they don't have to. It's a false sense of security trap, and it's in our favor.

Guys are you NOT thinking? This page was exposed weeks ago, why does everyone think James is a dummy even know he is a fucking prick. He MOST Likely moved the files out a while ago and replaced them. Unless the hashes match

If it's big like we think, I doubt they just letting stuff on the server... They know all of this scandal and they know they have to be more discret. But gj ;) I really hope someone can make some really good evidence about all this shit.
