Need anons opinion on a almond activation. Gut level, but…before I grab the shovel…any other anons notice a strange glow with the municipality “hacks” where city gov servers and SANs are getting zipped and encrypted for ransom. This cities are paying them, too.

I dunno. My first instinct is 99% of all cons are inside cons.

This smells. Thiis ransom money is either being straight up embezzled, used to cover embelzment or…going into commie side political coffers because the DNC doesn’t have a pot to piss in.

I dunno…not even sure where to plant my shovel, but I just have a huge feeling this is co-ordinates by insiders. They use “hacks’ as bullshit cover for everything else political, why not this?

It’s the fucking worst, isn’t it? Just thinking about the last time I was seasick makes me turn green.

I used to feel like a pussy because of it, but the last time I was booting my gut up off the fantail I looked over and the captain was next to me doing the same.

It always hits me when I just magically happen to be furthest out, too.

I’m 23 years in IT. And not some management puke.

My nose is tuned for this. I get ya though. I’m not saying there isn’t motive out there for a motivated crew. City govs likely skimp on IT talent and the holes in the network are likely bigger than Kamila’s twat…but…is it insurance paying the ransom or just tax revenue?

There’s a lot of room there for hanky fuckin panky and LEOs aren’t super savvy to spot crime that’s theft masquerading as a hack.

Then the insurance company needs to bring in some heavy hitter white hats.

The technical complexity of this makes it a very attractive racket.

That’s what this feels like.

And who is being brought in to investigate these city.gov hacks?

The fucking FBI. Yeah. Sic ‘em, boys. Same pack of assholes that outsourced to Fusion and other fucking dildos. No, if this is what I think it is, the Effa Bee eye could just as easily be running interference and cover than doing anything.

NSA is a different story. They’d know what’s up and could likely trace the payments back. Maybe they are just in the watching and logging it all phase. Dunno.

500K here, 800K there…pretty soon, you’re talking some serious fucking cheese. The fact that there are real crews out there that do it and that it’s so technical as to make most eyes glaze over makes it a really nice clownside game.
