Who has been attacking the internet - here is an Email form Sorcha describing just who.
Please pray that the Web Master and his minions collapse forever immediately.
Here is the E-Mail:
Well Folks,
It's been a very trying week for us, but we're back up and online so let me take a few minutes to tell you everything we know about what happened. Granted, this may get a little more technical than you're used to, but please try to follow, and by all means go to the links I'm providing here because this issue is critical for everyone to know about and understand.
First of all, our thanks go out to the geniuses at Kaspersky Labs (and there is no better word to describe them) for working on solving our problems this week and providing the fixes to (hopefully) keep them from happening again.
Secondly, the attack we suffered which destroyed one of our main servers was caused by something called "nls_933w.dll".
Rather than me trying to explain what this is, the tech site SecureList in their article Equation: The Death Star of Malware Galaxy describes it in these words:
"Perhaps the most powerful tool in the Equation Group's arsenal is a mysterious module known only by a cryptic name: "nls_933w.dll". It allows them to reprogram the hard drive firmware of over a dozen different hard drive brands, including Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, Maxtor and IBM. This is an astonishing technical accomplishment and is testament to the group's abilities."
Who is the Equation Group? No one really knows, except for these facts:
Since 2001, the Equation Group has been busy infecting thousands, or perhaps even tens of thousands of victims throughout the world, in the following sectors:
*Government and diplomatic institutions
*Telecoms
*Aerospace
*Energy
*Nuclear research
*Oil and gas
*Military
*Nanotechnology
*Islamic activists and scholars
*Mass media
*Transportation
*Financial institutions
*Companies developing encryption technologies
Eugene Kaspersky, the founder of Kaspersky Labs, in an article he wrote for Forbes Magazine a couple weeks ago (The Most Sophisticated Cyber Espionage Campaign Ever -- But Who's Behind It?) also stated this about the Equation Group:
"The second investigation was into a group of expert hackers we've named the Equation Group, probably linked to a government, which has been running the most complex and sophisticated cyber-espionage campaign we've ever seen. The media is saying the NSA is behind it, but we never did. And I wouldn't recommend pointing any fingers at anyone."
Now you surely notice that Mr. Kaspersky didn't say the NSA (or any US government intelligence agency for that matter) was behind the Equation Group, but nevertheless he was forced to respond to accusations that he did a few days ago in another Forbes Magazine article, Security Without Borders: Equation and Suspicion.
That didn't stop the attacks against Mr. Kaspersky, though, for daring to tell the public about the Equation Group, as evidenced by a vicious hit piece directed against him by the Bloomberg News Service (The Company Securing Your Internet Has Close Ties to Russian Spies) reminding everyone that he had been trained by the KGB/FSB, was a former military intelligence officer, and still has close ties to his countries intelligence agencies.
What Bloomberg failed to point out, however, was that Mr. Kaspersky has never hid his background or his present associations...in fact, like ALL global cyber security firms, Kaspersky Labs even has government accounts too. Big Surprise!
But as all of us know all to well, expecting Bloomberg, or any US media to report honestly about anything is never going to happen...especially the FACT that both Google and Facebook were both created by the CIA...talk about calling the kettle black!
So where we stand now is that we're fixed for the moment, but the experts at Kaspersky Labs tell us that these attacks are not only still occurring (specifically targeting alternative media websites in the US and EU), they're beginning to see a pattern they believe will enable the Equation Group to shut down all of their targeted sites at a moments notice.
Now why do you suppose they would want do that for???
Anyway, and as these experts have strongly suggested to us in order to prevent/minimize any future attacks, what we're in the process of doing now is converting all of our data to what are called Cloud Servers.
And as you correctly surmise, none of this is easy or inexpensive...in fact, we still don't know how we're going to do it without your help.
So PLEASE go to Sister Ciara's report [Click
HERE],
Just Hours Away From Nuclear War, America Remains Asleep, read what she says...and then give what you can to help us today.
And for all of you whom are able to...please don't forget the sites AntiWar.Com and RumormillNews.Com too as they are both suffering for daring to tell people the truth and have been economically attacked by Google.
All the best,
Brian
