I wonder if there are any official US documents declaring an intent to hide cyberattacks under the flags of foreign nations? ๐Ÿคญ Wouldn't that be droll?

Lmao sarcasm is indistinguishable from the full on brigading from the "help tankies are brigading us" instances going on in here to me ๐Ÿ˜…

That just smells like an actual false flag operation to me.

It's not uncommon for hackers to sell cures for problems they cause. This includes law enforcement, which can have broader goals like promoting their own cybersecurity outfits, even just promoting deoendency on HIBP if it's a fed thing would be useful here, making the joke they left on the page telling people to check out the site itself suspect. The internet archive is a large and beloved outlet for piracy and depaywalling, maybe the security enhancements being billed to them could help the industry bring them to heel a bit. Just speculating.

I have to say that the way they are advertising "HAVE I BEEN PWNED" makes this look like law enforcement selling cures to problems they create. The owner has that CIA front company type CV. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably. ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿค•

Did you find an answer to this?

To be honest, the only reason why any of that appeared to be true, or the west appeared to uphold free speech, just like free trade policies and laissez faire approach to international finance, that was all just because Wall St did not feel threatened, that was all just because the propaganda was received unthinkingly for the past 30 years or so. Especially between 2001 and the first part of the financial crash.

Fact is you know I am right, you just don't have any principles. You seem baffled some people uphold principles.

The funny thing is Stuxnet is a good example of how sanctions can backfire. We used a supply chain attack and the Iranians hardened their systems. Can anyone really claim it was any different than another Mossad "humiliate them and hope something happens" operation that ultimately blew the cover off years of intelligence work?

The Lebanon pagers attack, Russian sanctions and CERN or Linux creating reverse brain drain will continue to backfire, on our ability to even twist these screws, also on our supply chains in countries which consider themselves a US target or even just a middleman.

I encourage you guys fully defederating the Redditor based instances from the people who actually care about the integrity of open source projects. Get lost creeps! You haven't made a single argument in this thread other than "all Russians are spies" and "all dissenters are Russian spied". Useless idiots!
