Wasn't the OG anonymous basically destroyed and subsequently taken over by the cia 5 years ago or so?
yes it was.
OG anon is dead. This is CIA. Interestingly, mostly foreign asests.
Easy challenge. If this was the REAL Anonymous, they would have been breaking all this down BEFORE anyone here and spreading the word.
But they needed to Hack to get the info.
That was my understanding and if so, they are in full panic mode.
Just a heads up... Anonymous has hacked Sammamish-based Epik Software. This is the same company that provides DNS or hosts sites such as Gab, Parler, The Daily Stormer, 8Chan, BitChute, Patriot Win, prolifewhistleblower, and others.
They are claiming they have 10 years of data.
EVERYTHING. Names, accounts, IP addresses, records, internal communications. EVERYTHING.
The information has been out on the "dark web" for about 18 hours and some specifics are just starting to trickle out. A drop of 35GB of data happened about 5 hours ago in a less dark corner of the web.
Didn't have time to check or verify anything as I am working but figured I would share.
they are making their move...Anonymous is most likely a 3 letter agency or works with...they are coming for the right....they want us dragged through the streets...prepare..this is HUGE
Looks like this might be related? Not sure if Epik was dumb enough to host on Azure, but maybe they thought they were safe if using Linux VMs?
The Wiz Research Team recently found four critical vulnerabilities in OMI, which is one of Azure's most ubiquitous yet least known software agents and is deployed on a large portion of Linux VMs in Azure. The vulnerabilities are very easy to exploit, allowing attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code within the network with a single request and escalate to root privileges.
