  I listened to the recorded message Matt Blaze links to and, as a native spanish speaker, what struck me most was that the female voice had such a distinctive Cuban accent. She does not pronounce it "Atención, Atención", but rather "Atenció, Atenció" which is how a Cuban would sound.

  That ending was kinda of a let down. I was hoping for a cryptographic attack due to ciphertext being scewed :(

  "Compromised is primarily a memoir of former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok"

  Given how this ex-agent has disgraced himself by his conduct and during his Congress testimony, I wouldn't trust anything he says.
