The Empire Strikes Back


May 14, 2021, 1:57 PM

Best part, we stole their bitcoin. Hope we withdrew some interest on the loan. Like all of it.

That's funny.

Now we need to send them a drone and call it even.

I'm still the slightest bit peeved at them.

As you fine tune your level of peeve, please consider

tempering it with all of the gas station pictures we've had the pleasure of sharing over the past week. It should be rolled into your peeve factor.

Huh. Maybe we can settle for launching some nasty leaflets.

Kind of wondering what exactly her Plan is, here. Is there, like, cellophane around the basket I can't quite make out? And if so, is that even OK?

The 780th did not confirm involvement, but did


May 14, 2021, 2:31 PM

announce that they were somehow paying for an ice cream party for the entire country.

Seriously I very much want this to be true- that our cyber defenses went in the offense. I really hope we keep the pressure on these cockroaches.

Again, I'd love to see a drone strike on them, even if it's just a paintball up the butt, as long as that paintball is loaded with permanent pink day-glo pink dye and and radioactive tracer that we can track them around with for the rest of their days.

They need to glow in the dark, they need to set off alarms at airports, and kids need to point fingers at them and giggle. And they need to know: never, ever, ever eff with us again, we will day-glo pink your ###, for all time.

Yes, I'm vengeful. And grumpy.

America just got brought to its knees by hackers using DOS?

Lordy.

Colonial, your cyber-security needs some work.

I read that as denial of service (DoS)


May 14, 2021, 3:28 PM [ in reply to lol, the losers were using DOS on their servers ]

I doubt it would be dos. Most use some flavor of linux.

AND, if they were REALLY good, they would have used one of those good zero day exploits the NSA just sits on and has collected over years, after finding the server, to ping the IP of the person accessing the ADMIN acct on the server via TOR. That's how they take down the bad guys on TOR who they really want to get. Once you find the server, you don't unplug it. You plant code to an exploit in the admin page. Admin logs in anonymously from TOR and when the admin page loads, the exploit runs on their computer, causing it to ping some random government server through clearnet, and bingo, you have their real IP and they bust you.

LOL.

Actually knew that about the Linux - I myself used Ubuntu for years, and would still, if you could game worth jack with it - but did not know that about the TOR exploit, though it makes sense.

Still fascinating that we got to them so fast.

You think the DarkSide guys have any affiliation with Fancy Bear or Cozy Bear, or you think they're just small-time yahoos?

Given how fast we shelled 'em, I'm wondering if it's Option B, now. Can we really own the SRB or GRU that fast?

Re: UPDATE - They're history. Well, bye I guess.


May 14, 2021, 5:49 PM

Well, again...zippy cool.

Is that the Kremlin cleaning house, I wonder, was it us zapping 'em off the Net, or some combination of the above?

And again, you think they had any connection with the service-arm hackers?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah there's no evidence that the bitcoin was seized,


May 14, 2021, 9:06 PM

and in fact it was probably taken by the ransomware core team. They posted on their website that their servers were seized, which is a convenient cover if they wanted to just go into hiding and steal a bunch of bitcoin from people who were using their service.
