Маше Бароновой, в девичестве носившей простую фамилию Чеботарёва, двадцать восемь. Всю свою жизнь она живёт в Южном Тушино. Мама, Татьяна Борисовна, умерла десять лет назад, от рака. Отца Маша никогда не видела. Из детства ей больше всего запомнилось вот что: «Во втором классе ударилась об стенку и вышибла два передних зуба, мне вставили железные коронки, и до двенадцати лет я ходила с железными зубами. Дети — существа жестокие, и надо мной, конечно, издевались». В 2001 году Маша поступила на химфак МГУ. Когда училась на первом курсе, заболела мама: «Диагноз поставили поздно, опухоль была неоперабельная. Надо было ездить за лекарствами, я стала пропускать лекции». В итоге Баронова ушла в академический отпуск и диплом получила только в прошлом году. Параллельно работала продавцом в «Арбат Престиж», потом менеджером по продажам лабораторного оборудования, и так познакомилась со своим будущим мужем, Сергеем Бароновым

Тёма просто читает мои мысли:

As one of the reporters for Sputnik’s wire service, I reported to a triumvirate of editors: Martinichev (who’d interviewed and hired me), Anastasia Sheveleva and Zlatko Kovach. Martinichev and Sheveleva were Russian, and neither appeared to be any older than my (then) 34 years. Nor did either of them seem to know much about how journalism works in the U.S., since they found standard practices—like keeping the names of sources I was meeting with secret from them or using company resources to expense meals or drinks to facilitate the meetings with those sources—to be outrageous.

Kovach, who is Macedonian by birth but also a naturalized U.S. citizen, wasn’t even a journalist, having spent his career working for General Dynamics, which was contracted to run the Southeast European Times, a multilingual website that targeted the Balkans by pushing back against propaganda efforts from Russia and other countries. After funding for that program lapsed, Kovach—who says he speaks six languages fluently—switched sides in the propaganda war.

On 1 April, 2017, someone used an exploit in 8chan's software to gain access to the server, used it to delete the database and take the site down, and later leaked a lot of data copied from the server. Among other things, this revealed the existence of Sunshine.

Sunshine was a system that (unsuccessfully) indefinitely stored the IP addresses of posts. For each post, a copy of the post together with its IP address was encrypted and inserted into a table. The entries could only be decrypted using a private key stored on a different computer. This was done in response to a law enforcement request for the IP address that posted a thread threatening a school shooting, which was received after the thread had already 404ed and the IP address had been deleted from the database. Sunshine was used successfully only once.

Because of the incomplete documentation of PHP's openssl_public_encrypt function, encryption of long posts failed, and they were not recorded. Sunshine never even worked properly.
