That's pretty clever.

If I had to bet money though, I'd assume something more mundane, like they are actually dumb enough to put a name and email on one of those.

Do we have any reason to think that the person posting this is not the FBI themselves? Or some other foreign surveillance types?

this reminds me of finfisher and payloaded media files used to drop the spyware.

thus mass surveilance, or mass botnet

Yeah, that's my romantic view, but probably unlikely.
