Ok, conspiracy theory; so we know for the past decade politicians have tried to focus targets on Russia as an enemy. Some prefer to target china, while many are heavily influenced to push discourse with Russia. There’s not much need for this other than oil revenue conflicts. Russia has become progressively more open to trade and embraced many western ideals. The political power of Putin is disturbing, but we would be net better off not driving them to ally with China, who they do not like as a competitor, but tolerate due to the repression the dollar hegemony places against them. This isn’t an attack on a particular party, rather, trends that have emerged in who is the “threat” or “enemy.” It’s not to say that either Russia, nor China is good or evil, but certain political groups and individuals seem to have an interest in segregating their focus on particular nation states.
The hacking organization “REvil” (what a cheesy meant to be kitchy, campy name) is primarily russian. We know russian hacking espionage and attacks have grown in the financial sector over the past decade. A July 2014 supposedly incidental attack NYSE market chaos and a shutdown.
The current attack on Kaseya supply coordinator honestly indicates how we need encrypted decentralized protocols to coordinate data, rather than centralized server hubs.
Now, why the hell are the ransom ware hackers, supposed experts in traceability and security hacking, asking for the most traceable source of money in the world? Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. As soon as a transfer is made, every move enacted by the holder can be followed. At the rate they ask for bitcoin, they could ask for any other decentralized currency. It’s not like the price is somehow more stable than many other cryptos. Ethereum is just as decentralized. They might as well have asked for the DAI stablecoin, and guarantee consistent payment. The transfer will be followed every step of the way. The same group would cash out their funds to an exchange which would then be ordered to release the funds and the information of the depositors. This is effectively what happened to the colonial pipeline hackers funds when 50%???? (Where’s the other half?) we’re recovered by a new department of justice task force.
Anyone who has done any research into anonymity in cryptocurrencies knows that Monero would be untraceable and could be exchanged on a dex for bitcoin and reveal no information of the holders. The FBI&CIA have both stated this concern with Monero. Both have indicated that bitcoin isn’t a security risk more so than dollars.
The WEF has been developing and hosting cyber security events. Now, this is very weird, considering the WEF is not exactly who makes sense to coordinate such an event. There are many other global and national three letter organizations that can competently host these types of events, and yet…
“What is Cyber Polygon? Cyber Polygon is a unique cybersecurity event that combines the world's largest technical training exercise for corporate teams and an online conference featuring senior officials from international organisations and leading corporations.”
Now, why would a corporation be going through this? What happened in the colonial hack? Well the company purchased bitcoin, paid the ransom. The insurance paid them back, and the payment for ransoms is a TAX WRITE OFF!
So the summary of suspicious activity: Elite hackers of a national origin the current party in power has interest in forming as a focused enemy of the people made an insanely poor choice twice now to receive a traceable currency that promotes free trade without state intervention or trust. Supply lines are being targeted when supplies are already in short supply due to covid/inflation problems. This magnifies the problem of infrastructure risk, which the current administration is particularly interested in upgrading as part of job creation. Further, a new task force of a three letter agency that will need to expand and hire employees into more govt backed jobs to combat this growing risk. Meanwhile companies have ways to actually profit, or at least discover no net harm during the actual activity of the hack.
I love a good conspiracy theory. Most are terrible. I don’t think you could write a more perfect one in this case.
