    Good chance it’s for OPSEC reasons and is a small, highly skilled team, not a single woman.

      If it was a team, they wouldn’t allow the craziest person among them to be their mouthpiece

      Yup. My bet as well. People love to place achievements and advancements in technology on one person while in reality there’s always a team behind it. The reality is things have gotten so complex, its damn near impossible for one person to make a breakthrough themselves without building on the work of someone else or fragmenting the work and have it be done by multiple people.

      Frankly speaking, it’s not like anyone on the internet can tell the difference. And, at least speaking personally, it’s not like I need to know. If they crack stuff well they crack stuff well. If their political views suck their political views suck. So be it.

        Yup. Everyone lies on the internet. If they were a group, and stayed silent, people would be more likely to assume they were a group. I just thought it was interesting that their logo is a woman in a crown that’s way too large for her head.
