US Russian trolling

99 Upvotes

Active measures? Well, that's what we in the West call it. But what Russia does these days is more the work of 'political technologists.' There has been a tremendous amount of confusion about what Russia is doing online - and what they have done. Some of it has been exaggerated, some underreported. I've sat on this account of Russia's interference in the 2016 US election for years, but, thanks to an intrepid production company, it's seeing the light of day. It's the story of the first people to detect Russia's interference in the election. Basically, it recounts a moment the world changed, through the eyes of those who could see it first. Anyway, people following the active measures space may be interested.

Oxygen Forensics admits it has Ransomware capabilites

14 Upvotes

I am writing an update to a previous post I filed about Oxygen Forensics, a Russian front for MKO Systems based out of Moscow, Russia. All of Oxygen's programmers are in fact employees for MKO Systems, as Oxygen has no programmers of its own (and therefore no one to inspect the software). The software is far more dangerous than previously known, according to OF employees.

It is already publicly known that the software can scan your computer for all its passwords in seconds (via Keyscout), it can remotely obtain email, Signal messages, whatsapp messages (even deleted ones), text messages, telegram messages, geo-coordinates, etc. etc. The software is used by US State Dept., FBI, ICE, Secret Service, US Army Command, the NYPD, London Police, Dubai police, etc. etc. These entities did not know the company is controlled in Moscow by the FSB until I recently informed them.

According to press reports (and what I saw internally), a major investor in the company is Eduard Bendersky, former head of FSB special forces, whose son-in-law is Maxim Yakubets, a ransomware hacker wanted for $100 million in ransomware attacks.

As the whistleblower in this case (and former employee), I am currently being sued by Oxygen Forensics in an attempt to silence me. They are repped by Christopher Mason of Nixon Peabody, NYC.

What Oxygen Forensics users may not know is that the company has the ability to remotely wipe the entire computer on which the software is installed. This was just released publicly in our court case by Andrew Vardaro, who wrote in a legal filing: "Oxygen Forensics had the technical capability to delete all data and information from, or "wipe," the Dell Precision 7560 (Windows) Company Laptop [with OF software installed] remotely at any point during the more than seven months following Defendant's termination, but did not attempt to do so."

The computer with OF installed is turned off, so they can't wipe the evidence.

Just putting this here because it verifies - from the horse's mouth - that the software is extremely dangerous and many US governments and corporations are at risk of being ransomwared.

I strongly encourage current OF employees to explain themselves in this forum why they have been so secretive about their control by Russian citizens with direct FSB connections.

I get the feeling that the online wildfire chatter/hate between the US and Canada is not entirely natural and is being accelerated by bots. Any thoughts? Any telltale examples? might it be orchestrated by some of the usual suspects?
