In downtown Porto, in the area surrounding Jardim da Cordoaria, next to Adega Leonor, the Portuguese hacker and whistleblower was quite requested, by unknown people, for photographs, as witnessed by JN on the spot, but he refused all.

The Portuguese hacker, according to JN, was also at another nightclub on Rua da Madeira, next to São Bento Station.
