mastodon 4.6.8No Trace Project news in English.
No trace, no case. A collection of tools to help anarchists and other rebels understand the capabilities of their enemies, undermine surveillance efforts, and ultimately act without getting caught.
We've added a new tool to our collection: the Infiltrators Database!
It's a searchable database of cases of long-term infiltrators in the 21st century, currently referencing 74 cases from 12 countries. For each case we provide a brief description, sources to learn more, as well as the infiltrator's name and pictures, if available.
Access at:
https://notrace.how/infiltrators
http://i4pd4zpyhrojnyx5l3d2siauy4almteocqow4bp2lqxyocrfy6prycad.onion/infiltrators
As usual, we will maintain this database in the future, and it is available as a printable zine. Please tell us if you know of any case that's missing and that matches our inclusion criteria (infiltrator, not informant; infiltration lasted at least 3 months; 21st century; well documented).
Pictured: three cases from the database.
We are considering adding a calendar to our website home page listing bookfairs and other events, anywhere in the world, where zines from our database/project will be distributed. The goal is to help bridge the gap between our project and local communities.
If you know events where our zines will be distributed, please let us know! You can contact us on Mastodon or through one of the methods listed here:
https://notrace.how/contact.html
http://i4pd4zpyhrojnyx5l3d2siauy4almteocqow4bp2lqxyocrfy6prycad.onion/contact.html
We would add the calendar once we have a few events to list.
Do you have access to court documents that show the surveillance techniques used to investigate or catch anarchists or activists, anywhere in the world?
We may be able to use those documents to add a new repressive operation to our Threat Library, allowing comrades internationally to learn from your local experience of repression.
Send us documents (in any language) at notrace@autistici.org or through our new contact form (no email address required):

We currently reference 36 operations from 16 countries:

We are trying to confirm the name/alias of the person who infiltrated the activist organization Attac in Switzerland from 2005 to 2007, as described in this German-language article:
https://woz.ch/1135/staatsschutz/vom-pausenplatz-direkt-zum-geheimdienst
and this French-language podcast:
https://rts.ch/audio-podcast/2011/audio/attac-suisse-infiltre-par-un-etudiant-genevois-25227005.html
We're almost sure we have the right name but would like a confirmation. Can anyone put us in touch with people who were active in Attac or anti-globalization circles in Geneva or Switzerland back then? Our contact information:

We've published a text describing recent targeted spyware attacks against Italian comrades, likely originating from State actors.
These attacks featured fake technicians pretending to work for mobile network operators, and we would like them to serve as a reminder of the importance of spreading awareness of social engineering attacks within our movements.
