In the image, we find 3 different colors (disregard errors introduced by JPEG compression).
There are vertical groups of 5 blocks each.
We can assign a number to each color, ranging from 1 to 3.
Now take a look at this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifid_cipher
If we assign numbers based on luminance:
dark = 0, pink = 1, red = 2
If we read horizontally, in triplets:
121 202 222 121 212 220 221 212
212 122 121 210 221 212 222 010
201 221 202 222 022 202 212 122
220 121 222 212 122 220 121 220
121 222 222 021 202 122 222 012
Following the wiki link toTrifid Cipher, we decide on a mixed alphabet, based on key DIGITALSOLDIERS, and padding the alphabet with + as proposed by Delastelle:
PIC RELATED
If we build the cipher alphabet from the trigrams found by employing the 3 layer cubes:
Cipher alphabet
A = 121
B = 212
C = 213
D = 111
E = 133
F = 221
G = 113
H = 222
I = 112
J = 223
K = 231
L = 123
M = 232
N = 233
O = 132
P = 311
Q = 312
R = 211
S = 131
T = 121
U = 313
V = 321
W = 322
X = 323
Y = 331
Z = 332
= 333
I'd wager to guess that certain 3 letter agencies even participate directly in some of those VPN providers.
Think honeypot.
