The Kazakhstani government tried to silence a critical journalist. But when she also became the target of a phishing scam, tracking the hackers opened a rabbit hole into a massive but shoddy spying operation. Who was really behind it? And why was all the hacked data dumped onto the open Internet?

@raveroperator As someone who spent 7 years in N. England, i'm curious if not English, what languages most people do speak then?😅 I learned what i thought was Northern English, but i guess it was actually Lancashirean, S. Yorkshirean, and partly Mancunian, Glaswegian and even Scouse, just on receiving end. Can't learn to speak Scouse without living around Mersyside and i only understand it because of Scouse friends i acquired later in Spanish penitenciary.

In 2011, the EFF received $1 million from Google as part of a settlement of a class action related to privacy issues involving Google Buzz. The Electronic Privacy Information Center and seven other privacy-focused nonprofits protested that the plaintiffs' lawyers and Google had, in effect, arranged to give the majority of those funds "to organizations that are currently paid by Google to lobby for or to consult for the company". An additional $1 million was obtained from Facebook in a similar settlement.[55]

:3 One lady had a skull 💀 put on her door, with a note, and the note read that there won't be a next time. Shortly after, her workplace was set on fire. She ran from Kazakhstan (I guess is what he said) after that. The lady was getting educated on malware and such by a government agency that deals with cyber security, I think it was. She would get emails from activists, and then got a suspicious email, that she felt was suspicious, and sent it to them. Sure enough, it was a spear phishing email, with malware attached to some documents. The team analyzed the code to see where it came from. Interesting stuff. That's why, if you're an activist, journalist, and so forth, you have to open documents in a sandbox (the new Windows feature required a higher edition than Home, and you need to be able to do virtualization), virtual machine, or on a computer with no personal files, your camera covered, your mic covered, and to look at it. The NJrat I purposely downloaded, is zipped, and it bypassed NordVPN, Windows Defender, and Avast. Lol. It only got detected when extracting it. From what I know: However, with some files, merely opening the file will cause malware to ignite. As well, if you write malware in a special way, the virus database may not have it. If you encrypt the files, antivirus won't be able to scan it, and then it can be released after it hits the computer. As well, polymorphic malware is written in C, and it is able to keep changing itself so that it doesn't land in a virus database. That's a rather new type of malware.

Bruv if you watch Jack you have to understand there is no such thing as a safe place to open a dodgy email all networks can be compromised the o it safe assumption is that it is already compromised and anything you do online is being tracked by someone somewhere

Im only 6 minutes into this & I'm very upset. I realise this is more than 6 years ago, but knowing that they killed her Dog, has me very emotional. I'm lieing in bed, with my best mate, my Chihuahua Dog 🐕 "Brown". I'm holding him very tight, I would be absolutely distraught & heart-broken if anything bad happened to him. This Lady is very courageous & doesn't deserve this. People just don't deserve this. A big thanks to the EFF, Cooper Quentin & many other great Fighter's just like him. ....now to watch the rest of this Video. I'm still holding "Brown", very tight. I don't ever want to let him go.

At the start of this Video you talk about exploring an empty Hospital. I can pretty much say for sure, of course someone was there. Nothing to be scared or worried about, the person was more than likely more scared of you then you were of them. They were probably either homeless, & living there & feeding the 🐈 Cat, or they were there just there to feed the Cat. * There are a lot of Cat People, that feed the many feral Cats, that can be found in the Cities. Either way, because there were scared of you or worried they might get in trouble for being there &/or feeding the Cat, they avoided you. Any thoughts could be going through there mind. They don't know who you are, & they could just be scared of People or strangers. Also not knowing who you are they might be thinking you've got some authority over the Building & they might get in trouble.
