Visited pol that day, and saw the article. The first post on the thread was not to click on the link. It begun with: huffingtonpost.co.za . Can't remember the article name, and couldn't find it from the catalog after that.

https://who.is/whois/huffingtonpost.co.za

That url seems to be registered to Huffingtonpost though. If someone knows, is it usually huffingtonpost.com? or something else, can't remember seeing it as .co.za

edit: Saw the thread where the article was posted, didn't visit the article though. That was spammed throughout the day, so guess it was that one.

edit2: Found the thread where someone said that its a virus: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/121064509/huffington-post-blog-suggests-its-time-to-deny

No idea about it though, archive seems to have multiple threds where people are saying that huffpo installs a rootkit. They might be joking though, judging by the rest of the comments.

All I'm seeing is a bunch of threads with OP freaking out, but deflining to offer any evidence.

Allegedly the original op got their computer bricked or got swat'd

I said earlier if I hear of anything else I'll update

I saw jokes about swatting, but nothing to suggest it had actually happened.

If the Huffpo website were actually doing this to people, don't you think we'd have heard more than just one or two channers?

This is why pedogate isn't gaining traction, Henry

It might also be that some very powerful people don't want it to come to light.

And I'm not sure what the Henry is about

This would seem the wrong subverse, wouldn't it?

Do we have any actual evidence of this rootkit?

Anon went dark outta now where

I'd be skeptical too but do you want to risk getting infected with malware that allows for (((someone))) to download cp on your hardrive?

This seems super sketchy especially with the article being redacted. It's almost as if they were targeting white males

Tl;dr- no. Most ppl aren't pedos

Well someone has to prove it's existence somehow. Else it's just a smear campaign on a company that already has no relevance in society today.
