So if anyone wants more information on the cocksmiths who are DDoSing the Internet Archive:

Very likely Russian "active measures" operation, also linked to "Anonymous Sudan" (ALSO out of Russia) radware.com/security/threa…

Located poss. in Staraya Russa, Novgorod Obl.

1/x x.com/innerlmnt/stat…
There is at least speculation of linkages to Sudanese army (presently involved in a civil war with leader Omar al-Bashir), and SN_BLACKMETA has attacked even targets in the Middle East including in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

2/x
Original language of Xitter account was also Russian, and many other posts are in Russian, strongly indicating this is "active measures" related

Attacks also match patterns of being close to Moscow time, including extended DDoS's of 6+ days



3/xtherecord.media/middle-east-fi…
In general, attacks by SN_BLACKMETA have involved an extreme amount of volume, often (again) extending for 6+ days, and uses a "DDoS as a service" by the name of InfraShutdown which claims to be usable for attacking "nation-state" infrastructure

4/x
Prior attacks have included attacks on the Saudi Ministry of Defense and the (Saudi) Arab National Bank, Roblox, Snapchat (apparently offended at perceived pornography), Europol, & others therecord.media/middle-east-fi…
dailydarkweb.net/blackmeta-alle…
thecyberexpress.com/sn-blackmeta-c…

5/x
Europol is one of a number of government agencies that have been explicitly targeted, which is another indication of this being a Russian "active measures" campaign (EUROPOL has been seeking oligarchs linked to invasion of Ukraine for trial)

6/x
Saudi Arabia has been a particular target, again pointing specifically to Russian influence, likely in sympathies with Iran (which is the *actual* main rival of SA, both politically and theologically):

x.com/DailyDarkWeb/s…
x.com/DailyDarkWeb/s…

7/x
UAE has also been a major target (in part because of UAE alliances with Saudi Arabia) and (unsurprisingly) has also targeted Israel itself dailydarkweb.net/tag/sn_blackme…

Microsoft Azure Cloud and Hulu also have been targets
msn.com/en-us/news/tec…
app.daily.dev/posts/microsof…

8/x
The attack is very similar to attacks claimed against Azure and Spotify, which may have involved a new DDoS tool/service:

x.com/DarkWebInforme…
x.com/DarkWebInforme…
x.com/DarkWebInforme…
x.com/Cyberknow20/st…
x.com/Cyberknow20/st…

9/x
So tl;dr Literally the assholes targeting the Internet Archive are a Russian "active measures" op, pretending to be a pro-Palestine (and pro-Sudan) group (and from the same country likely responsible for a SHITLOAD of disinfo and tankiebots and MAGAbots on here)

10/x
tl;dr no offense but there's some definite bad-actor countries (cough cough ahem Russia cough ahem) who honestly should have every AS route coming in and out of the country null-routed with a fireman's axe or otherwise subject to backhoe attenuation

@AaronBlake Gentle reminder that it's being found, over and over again, that both MAGAt influencers *AND* the networks of *hundreds of thousands* of socks and bots are part of a Russian-operated influence network (assisted by owner of this hellsite who took it over in a hostile takeover)

1/
@AaronBlake I would implore everyone on here to read my primer on Russian influence ops, which actually extend substantially into meatspace and whose goal is complete disruption of the West and reformation of a Russian Empire and new Warsaw Pact

2/threadreaderapp.com/thread/1841159…
@AaronBlake In what is almost certainly only the *tip* of the iceberg, many far-right social media influencers have been found caught up in being *paid* to promote Russian disinfo (via TENET Media)

Today's evidence that a lot of the Hurricane Discourse is full-on "active measures" by Christian Nationalists, far-right, and Russian disinfo networks:

MAGAts whinging about "disaster equity"...and that federal aid agencies want to make sure LGBTQIA people can get aid

1/x Image
Now, first off, "Disaster equity" is just efforts to make sure aid can get to everyone who needs it (and that it's not hoarded or actively denied to maginalized groups).

And yes, much like "Do Not Eat" labels on silica packets, there's a reason why.

2/x
And if you know the history, you see where the Freudian slip of a LOT of these sorts is showing.

At least in more progressive administrations, FEMA and other federal aid agencies don't discriminate against people based on gender or sexual orientation.

@JeanPodrasky As insane as it sounds, I *ALSO* think this is a reason why polling has skewed conservative (and that's well before garbage "narrative setting" polls come into the equation).

tl;dr the same people who answer phone polls tend to ALSO be marks for phishing and fraud

1/x
@JeanPodrasky So how this relates to polling--most polling is done either via cold-calls to phone lines *or* via online polling, frequently via "pay to poll" services that reward people monetarily for filling out surveys in a focus group (including political polls)

2/x
@JeanPodrasky Most people under 55 in general *do not* answer unsolicited phone calls (and younger generations, who are cell-only, even go to the point of whitelisting) *specifically* because unsolicited telephone calls from telemarketers are such a severe issue nowadays.

Today's guide in how to spot a Russian origin disinfo campaign on Xitter:

a) Make claims that have already been debunked, including by the state agencies AND aid groups
b) Do this to @SecretaryPete being unaware the Department of Transportation doesn't coordinate rescue

1/x Image
c) Promoters of Dunning-Krugerrands Made Of What Amount To An Electronic Ledger Based On Solutions Of Arbitrarily Complex Mathematics giving their inputs (when they've failed at all of the basic lessons of monetary systems in the past 150 or so years)

2/x
d) Did we mention a fundamental lack of understanding of the roles of separation of civilian versus military branches of the government, and that *in general* the Department of Transporation does not deal in public safety issues?

So the latest bit of QAnonsense Oppositional Defiant Disorder *this* time just bumped up against federal law, *hard* (and in fact risks fucking up things for people using drones for legitimate purposes not involving QAnonsense Oppositional Defiant Disorder).

A thread:

1/x
So in *general*, the FAA is actually pretty permissive about drones *within reason*, but does have some basic regulations regarding drones in certain flight areas in part to avoid incidents where a drone/plane collision could potentially kill people.

2/x
So there's several classes of drones, most folks who aren't doing commercial drone ops (like for movies, or for the fancy coordinated drone displays you often see accompanying or instead of fireworks displays) or government surveys are recreational flyers

Your gentle reminders that pretty much *every* party engaging in physical shit-stirring today (from the pro-Trump ILA leadership, to Iran and its client army in Hezbollah, to Likud in Israel, to Hamas, to MAGAtbots and tankiebots on this hellsite) all have Russian links

1/x
This is where, I again, implore you all to research the roots of Putinism and Putin's international policy, specifically in KGB-turned-religio-fascist Aleksandr Dugin's "Foundations of Geopolitics"

This is literally Putin's playbook.

2/xen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundatio…
I'm going to include some screenshots of the wiki article on "Foundations", and also excerpts from this PDF

So re Dugin--again, started out as KGB, recruited by literal neofascists circa 70s, was deep in EU neofascist circles by 90s
