SecureWorks attribution of Podesta phishing to Russia was false

cybersecurity, DNC leaks,

The SecureWorks’ attribution of March 2016 phishing and hacking of Podesta and other DNC bosses to Russia (1, 2) by Bitly links was false. This is why.

The hackers did not need Bitly. They could insert a direct link to the phishing page. Usage of Bitly had only a downside: the risk of being exposed before the hacking campaign started, and the risk that the redirect from bit[.]ly would trigger a browser warning.

At the relevant time, Bitly shortlinks could be created and used without a Bitly account.

Bitly shortlinks in an account do not indicate that they were used. They cost no money and require very little time. Clicks are even cheaper. A smart hacker can create thousands of decoy shortlinks to hide one used for important business.

The phishing site’s log allows tracking clicks, so creating a Bitly account for that purpose is not warranted.

“GRU created a Bitly account but forgot to set it to private mode” is a fairy tale for idiots. Continue reading SecureWorks attribution of Podesta phishing to Russia was false →

Russia Hoax 2024, Part 1

cybersecurity, dems, ,

2024-10-10 update: Given Tenet Media’s anti-Trump stance, its generous funders (either Democrat oligarchs or the FBI) killed two birds with one stone.

The September-4 indictment of “Russians” Kostiantyn & Elena for allegedly funding Tenet Media is part of another Dem election hoax, conducted jointly with the DOJ.

a) It is based on a mistranslation of the phrase “партизанские проекты” by RT editor-in-chief M. Simonyan. Translation “covert projects”, repeated many times in the indictment, DOJ PR, PBS etc., is incorrect. The correct translation is “guerrilla projects”, where ‘guerrilla’ means irregular or ad hoc.

Biden admin already coerced AI companies

Big Tech, dems,

2024-07-29: Apple agrees to stick by Biden administration’s voluntary [sic] AI safeguards

“It’s joining more than a dozen other companies in making the pledge, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. … [Among the safeguards are]  social responsibility, including flagging societal risks such as biases … and sharing trust and safety details with the government and other companies“

See also Biden-Harris administration’s press release from 2024-07-26.

Crowdstrike conducted malware gain of function

#CrowdStrike,

A cybersecurity company purporting to protect its customers against malware must have a database of known malware. It is one of the company’s most important assets. When CrowdStrike was founded in 2012, it lacked a database of its own. Its main asset was Shawn Henry, hired from the position of Executive Assistant to the FBI Director. Instead of creating or renting malware signatures from another vendor, CrowdStrike deployed a tool called CrowdRE, short for Crowd Reverse Engineering. This was a malware repository with a reverse engineering tool. Officially, it was intended for security researchers to analyze malware. However, it also allowed malware authors worldwide to benefit from public reverse engineering and borrow modules from this repository for their own malware. Anyone with a Google account was welcome to join CrowdRE. Continue reading Crowdstrike conducted malware gain of function →

Plus Footnotes for AT article

dems,

The Obama-Biden administration and its blue states counterparts used climate cult agenda to attack conservative and libertarian organizations all the time. Typically, they used legal threats against businesses contributing to conservative non-profits that criticized climate alarmism.

In April-May 2016, the Democrat party escalated its onslaught on the conservatives and republicans using this vehicle. Former VP Al Gore and a coalition of Democrat State Attorney Generals attacked conservative thought institutions, using climate cult doctrine as a club. One of them, the Virginia Islands Claude Walker went after the top right of the center thinks tanks. See Continue reading Plus Footnotes for AT article →
