# DEF CON Founder Jeff Moss on Epstein Files: "The Beginning of Community Accountability"
Jeff Moss — @thedarktangent, founder of DEF CON and Black Hat, the world's most influential hacking conferences — posted about a tool that cross-references LinkedIn connections against the Epstein documents.

His words: "The beginning of community accountability."
The Tool
The EpsteIn tool (GitHub: cfinke/EpsteIn) checks your LinkedIn network against 329,473 DOJ Epstein documents. It runs on the DugganUSA public search API — the same API that three separate organizations are currently scraping at scale.
The tool is free. The API is free. The documents are free.
Why This Matters
When the founder of DEF CON says "community accountability," the security community listens. Moss has spent three decades building the infrastructure of information security — from the first DEF CON in 1993 to ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee.
His signal boost means the OSINT and infosec communities are adopting Epstein document research as a legitimate investigative practice. Not conspiracy theory. Not speculation. Document-backed, API-queryable, EFTA-verifiable research.
The OSINT Team Agrees
The same week, OSINT Team Blog featured Epstein document tools in their Weekly OSINT Review 2026.06. The professional open-source intelligence community is treating these documents as a new dataset for due diligence and counterintelligence investigations.
The Infrastructure
DugganUSA LLC indexed all 329,473 Epstein DOJ documents into a full-text search engine within 48 hours of the January 30, 2026 release. The search engine is at [epstein.dugganusa.com](https://epstein.dugganusa.com). The API is at analytics.dugganusa.com. Both are free. No paywall. No login. No API key.
The same infrastructure runs a STIX 2.1 threat intelligence feed consumed by 275+ organizations in 46 countries, tracking 879,910 indicators of compromise. The Epstein search and the threat intelligence feed run on the same platform — because document analysis and threat detection use the same methodology.
Two people. $76 a month. 6,085,861 documents indexed.
*Every claim is verifiable. The API is free. The documents are searchable.*
