Dunno, I found this. Part of the text messages. Doesn’t prove anything Russia related but he sounds like a piece of shite reading this

Apparently made his wife participate in group sex to keep their marriage "interesting" etc and she didn’t like it. Juicy personal stuff that really is none of our damned business, I’m interested if there’s any bigger things in em.

So 285000 texts were obtained when one of Manafort's daughters phone was hacked?

The texts have been out there for years?

If there was anything relevant or newsworthy I am pretty sure we would have heard about it before now.

The person who got these just published them and talked shite about wikileaks having and not publishing.

The reason they did not was clearly because they did not feel they could verify them with 100% accuracy.

If legit, those aren't Manafort's texts. They are Manafort's family members' texts!

Manafort apparently says his daughter's phone was hacked, and that is the source. Question obviously is "by whom, and for what purpose?"

Very serious stuff, regardless of content.

Hackers Easily Guessed Paul Manafort's Cringeworthy Password and Found Daughter's Shocking Texts

— but especially computer security researchers who worked to uncover Manafort’s James Bond-inspired email password: “bond007.”

It wasn’t hard for researchers to crack that case.

According to Business Insider, the not-so-subtle password hints Manafort set up for his Adobe account included “secret agent” and “James Bond.” And since Manafort broke the cardinal rule of internet passwords — using the same one for multiple accounts — researchers were also able to access Manafort’s Dropbox account using the same “bond007” password.

The puzzle first presented itself in February, after hackers broke into Manafort’s daughter’s iPhone and published about 300,000 of her alleged text messages to the dark web. Among those messages was Manafort’s former email address, uncovered by a security researcher who goes by the online name Krypt3ia. (Manafort told Politico in February that hackers had successfully broken into his daughter’s phone and confirmed the authenticity of some of the texts between him and her, but declined to comment on most of them.)

Without looking at the first text, I doubt they're real. Why are they only being leaked now?

Appear to be real.

The New York Times previously reported that Andrea’s text messages were hacked and posted on the Internet “on a website used by Ukrainian hackers.”

They've been out on the dark web since last year. Franklin Foer reported this in the Atlantic in March:

quote:

ine months after the Ukrainian revolution, Manafort’s family life also went into crisis. The nature of his home life can be observed in detail because Andrea’s text messages were obtained last year by a “hacktivist collective”—most likely Ukrainians furious with Manafort’s meddling in their country—which posted the purloined material on the dark web. The texts extend over four years (2012–16) and 6 million words. Manafort has previously confirmed that his daughter’s phone was hacked and acknowledged the authenticity of some texts quoted by Politico and The New York Times.

Step out of line and we will destroy you.


Anyone ever running for a higher position in government from now is subject to blackmail. They have everything you’ve ever typed into a computer or smart phone. And if necessary they can create a fake investigation and take down everyone around you.

Frightening times.

Idk if legit.. so I'll withhold my opinion on the actual texts. It sounds like someone went after his daughter to try to get to him. It's a pretty vile strategy. A strategy that the mafia, cartels, yakuza, fbi rely on.
