from the first phase of their campaign which explains why vice have blurred out so much i've muted the audio from the videos so i don't get copy strikes though i'm getting a kind of NUMBER_TOKEN youtube tutorial right from this the song that the miscreants have as background music is on the same level as a dreamscape look that up for a shot of nostalgia and we've got the miscreants typing into a text editor to explain what they're doing it's just as low effort as the email if not worse definitely crossing into the territory of cringe and this next bit really makes me wonder if this whole operation might be some kind of a false flag let me know what you think about this in the comments so a reuters article from october when this all went down explains that some of the blurring in the video was done by the hackers to hide their personal information like ip addresses in the terminal window that kind of thing however they weren't very good at blurring so much so that the original video shows snippets of revealing computer code including file paths file names and an ip address now reuters quoted anonymous inside sources which said security analysts found that the ip address hosted through an online service called worldstream traced back to previous iranian hacking activity either they made a dumb mistake or wanted to get caught said a senior us government official who asked not to be identified however this same source went on to say we are not concerned about this activity being some kind of a false flag due to other supporting evidence this was iran let me know your thoughts on that in the comments there really isn't enough evidence here for me to say either way this video wasn't just sent to intimidate democrats it was also sent to republicans claiming that the democratic party was planning to exploit serious security vulnerabilities in state voter registration websites and so i think it's fairly clear that whoever did this was simply trying to raise the temperature of the election not to the advantage of either side in particular but just to rile both sides up contributing to destabilization the duo accused of these crimes have had a NUMBER_TOKEN million bounty slapped on their heads though of course they're in iran presumably so they won't be facing a trial any time soon if ever the indictment alleges that these two worked for an iranian company purported to provide security services within iran whose clients include the iranian government let me know your thoughts on this in the comments of course i'll link the indictment and all the other sources below big thank you to roboform for sponsoring this video i personally use and recommend their password manager and it's currently NUMBER_TOKEN off for this month only roboform keeps your passwords encrypted until you need them and notifies you if any of your passwords have been included in a data breach helping you stay secure roboform is one of the ogist password managers they've been around since the NUMBER_TOKENs use the link in the description to grab an annual subscription for just NUMBER_TOKEN and there's a NUMBER_TOKEN-day refund policy if you aren't happy with robiform for any reason if you enjoy this kind of video make sure to help me out by fondling the like button for the youtube ai as well as turning on those sub notifications if you want to
