> WTH is a “bulletproof host”?

A "bulletproof" host or provider is the colloquial term for a business that will not reveal your identity, payment information, provide LEO access, respond to subpoenas, etc.

It's generally used by cyber-criminals as a "safe" vendor, though some privacy-minded individuals like this type of provider as well.

My mind first jump to an old video of somebody shooting a Sun Microsystems machine and the bullets did not in fact penetrate the steel.

Are you thinking of HP or did they both do it?

I forgot about the HP one! I distinctly remember there was a Sun too; it was like a backyard shoot.

There was an awesome viral video of someone offloading their frustration and a full mag on an HP printer. Now I can't find the original because it started a trend of copiers.

LEO is a very well established term, it's not new.
