I don't understand why would sensitive photos be on there?

The claim is that sensitive photos were obtained from hacked systems/networks -- then posted to Twitter by the hackers.

Just noticed Anon took down a bunch of sites.

As I've mentioned before on a couple of other threads. The end result of all of this will be the end of the internet as we know it today. It will be monitored completely. People may think this would never happen because we (apparently) live in a free society which values openness and free speech.

However we also live in an Orwellian nightmare where the U.S. can straight up torture people while still claiming to stand for the above values.

They can invade and ruin countries (Iraq) and then with a completely straight face criticize Russia for their actions in Ukraine, with John Kerry saying "You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext.”

This is a very perceptive post.
Refer to this Kram09 post in 5-10 years if we still have electricity and free internet access.
Kram09 describes a very real scenario here.

The internet is the enemy of mega corp corruption,but the friend of petty corruption.
Thus the mega corps will slowly ban the commoners from the bandwitdh.
They want to conrtol the corruption you see.

Warning fellow humans-we are doing it wrong.

We will fall if we carry on like this.

But how do we break the habit of 1000s of generations?

Someone tell me please?

Hi first post etc.

Has anyone downloaded the files that were posted at Pastebin?

Im looking at the us army files right now.

48mbs
17 pdf files in 3 maps

Downloading the other file soon.

Have you ever heard of a silk rope?

It was a term used by the hacking community when it first emerged, and what it means is files, docs, apps, programs, or anything digital can have a hidden tracker, or trojan embedded in it. Most people don't understand coding so they, or their file scanning software will never pick it up, or be able to see it.

Do Not download government files imo.

Anybody feel the winds of change blowing in their faces yet again?

I do and it smells like last week when I ate some bad haggis

North Korea Update
SOCOM_Africa_Scenario

Yeah, I was thinking, that isn't a good idea

the average ISIS recruit does not originate from an economic circumstance with resources that affords them the advanced Computer Science knowledge necessary to engage in these types of attacks. Nor have they had the luxury of setting up a hack team base with top-tier PC's and internet etc. They have been moving too fast in war zones and impoverished territory. I just don't see it.

Most of the average recruits, yes. But the big new trend with ISIS has been foreign help. Western educated muslims that understand and know how to use computers, and more importantly, media play. They can record and edit influential videos which we've seen. Almost Hollywood quality, never before seen in people like Al-Qaeda. It's been said they have an extensive support group across the entire globe of disaffected, western educated youths.

Once they are released on pastebin they are becoming no secret.

Oh Brave America, little hope for you.

The herd is ready to go in slaughterhouse.

And isn't this site called "above top secret" , lol

I see half of users here discouraging downloading and discussion of the info that was already in the public domain.

For those who do wish to download and open those files. Opening them in a sandboxed environment adds an extra layer of protection.

Skeptic understands coding and will most likely back my claim up.

There are codes that can be embedded that can almost never be found. Virus scanners are virtually worthless for this stuff.

Again imo don't be the curious cat, and don't do bad things and most likely bad things won't happen.

Also always check internet traffic flow on your computer when idle, sometimes hackers will use a portion of people's hard drives unknowingly to the victims, for storage, or rouge applications.

I can't tell you how many times this happened when I worked in a server farm environment.

Peace,

So, now we have the proof, educating them is not enough !

You may not find much unless you know exactly what you are looking for in the case of manual removal, or happen to have something that has been in the wild for a little bit. If it is something that is relatively new, chances are that none of the scanners will find it. It only takes a download to execute some of these files...

I don't know how to post links as of yet but scanning articles - some of the documents were available on the MIT and Federation of American Scientists websites.

You mean the data dump articles were already available to the public or on a non secure site? does that mean that only twitter was hacked, which is pretty easy.

LOL no thanks. I wouldn't try to open anything related to this.

I can see you are computer savy. smh

It has nothing to do with the files, but what may be attached to them.

If you downloaded the files, who would be the sheep then?

Just saying.

Hey look just in time for the FCC to vote on Net neutrality.

a reply to: Realtruth

I'm not encouraging downloading those files.

But it is pretty safe to examine them on the separate box.

Anyway, it doesn't seems very important info there, though likely some breach of Pentagon did occurred.
