 "Thanks to the database they found out the generated nicknames of the partners, which have nothing to do with their real nicknames on forums and even nicknames in messengers, not deleted chats with the attacked companies and accordingly wallets for money, which will be investigated and searched for all those who do not launder crypto, and possibly arrest people involved in laundering and accuse them of being my partners, although they are not. All of this information has no value because it is all passed to the FBI and without hacking the panel, after every transaction by insurance agents or negotiators. "


Compartmentalize 

When in doubt reroute / pass the account 

Everything has it's own persona that should never overlap 

Every platform should have different random names

One way hackers get caught has always been their inability to let go of all ego and identity  
 If you weren't stupid and lazy... you'd have more answers...

A blind man could see this coming. 
There's a lack of leadership. 

If I were the feds I wouldn't give out more info... and they usually hold back a lot. Which he should know since he's testing them... poorly.


It was longer than a day



"The FBI says they received about 1000 decryptors, a nice figure, but it doesn't look like the truth, yes they received some unprotected decryptors, those builds of the locker that were made without the "maximum decryptor protection" checkbox could only be received by the FBI in the last 30 days, it's not known on what day the FBI got access to the server, but we know exactly the date of CVE disclosure and the date when PHP generated an error, before Feb 19th the attacked companies were regularly paying even for unprotected decryptors, so there is a chance the FBI were only on the server for 1 day, it would be nice if the FBI released all the decryptors to the public, then you could trust them that they really own the decryptors, not bluffing and praising their superiority, not the superiority of 1 smart pentester with a public CVE." 
 * now I know why people hated reading my shit when I was in my extreme run on sentences phase 
 📌 

From this significant moment, when the FBI cheered me up, I will stop being lazy and make it so that absolutely every build loker will be with maximum protection, now there will be no automatic trial decrypt, all trial decrypts and the issuance of decryptors will be made only in manual mode. Thus in the possible next attack, the FBI will not be able to get a single decryptor for free.

 Just one? The same one?


"I don't know any military journalist from Sevastopol Colonel Cassad, and I never donated to anyone, it would be nice if the FBI showed the transaction so I could check on the blockchain where they drew such conclusions from and why they claim it was me who did it, I never do any transaction without a bitcoin mixer." 
 "I use different exchangers and I don't concentrate all my money on one cryptocurrency exchanger. Let's blame the hundreds of other people who use publicly available exchanges on Evil Corp.
I really dislike that all such throw-ins are made without publishing transactions and wallets, thus it is impossible to verify what is true. You can accuse me of anything without proving anything, and there is no way I can refute it, because there are no transactions and bitcoin wallets."

"The FBI states that my income is over 100 million dollars, this is true, I am very happy that I deleted chats with very large payouts, now I will delete more often and small payouts too. These numbers show that I am on the right track, that even if I make mistakes it doesn't stop me and I correct my mistakes and keep making money. This shows that no hack from the FBI can stop a business from thriving, because what doesn't kill me makes me stronger. "

 The whole thing sounds familiar.....

And are those his REAL lawyers?

Feels like a cocky pizza box moment, if true.


It turns out that the FBI officially recognized themselves as liars and they lie very often, as my familiar lawyers Arkady Buch, Dmitry Naskavets and Victor Smilyanets stated, now I believe them 100%. They made a foolish attempt to discredit me by claiming that I work for the FBI, a man who encrypts US companies every day and makes hundreds of millions of dollars does it with the approval of the FBI? Is that how it works? Very clever. 

 
 Delusions of grandeur 
And misdirection 

- if you love it, why do you make several points to desperately convince people that you do? No... it's about the money and tiddies... and he's not willing to die... he seems like too much of a spoiled bitch for that.

You're thinking, why would I work for hundreds of millions of dollars? And I will answer that I am just bored, I love my work, it brings me joy from life, money and luxury do not bring such joy as my work, that's why I am ready to risk my life for the sake of my work, that's how bright, rich and dangerous life should be in my opinion.

"I think the only person who deserves an award and an honorable mention is the person who found a suitable public PHP CVE for my servers, I'm assuming it's someone from Prodaft." 
 Sounds dodgy

New affiliates can work in my affiliate program if they have a reputation on the forums, can prove that they are pentesters with post-payment, or by making a deposit of 2 bitcoins, the deposit increase is due to proof and beautiful advertising from the FBI, which is that my affiliates and I earn together hundreds of millions of dollars, and that no FBI with their assistants can scare me and stop me, the stability of the service is guaranteed by years of continuous work. 
 I feel like that's actually waaaay too long



Why did it take 4 days to recover? Because I had to edit the source code for the latest version of PHP, as there was incompatibility. 
 And now we know for sure what we already knew... he'd just fuck them.

 The feds never made that claim

It's true that the feds will try to turn people against each other... but when it comes to malicious hackers, they're usually already stabbing each other in the back anyway. 

He was, in fact, in contact with the feds.

Now people have to wonder if there's already a man on the inside, if he's selling out smaller fish to save his own ass, or if it's all just playful banter to feel each other out.

... it's most likely all of the above. 

The feds do pay criminals to do dirty jobs... but in this case, this is just a psychological analysis and reverse brain engineering.

 Universal truth >
Money brings power and popularity 

Even if it doesn't leave a defined trail there's usually sparse breadcrumbs scattered along a winding road that can seem to go on forever 

The problem is that it brings a hollowness with it the more you have

The pussy you're swimming in is only there because of the stuff you show off

The friends you make are just like the hoes, but there's no sex.

Your business affiliates are like your fake friends, you know that they'll turn their backs if the price or cost is high enough. 

There's no one in the world you can truly 100% trust.







You steal with people, youe lie with people, you kill with people... (or at least know that they do these things) you know how far they're willing to go... and how insignificant a mark is... you'd be no different if the circumstances were right.

 This playbook is so ancient (mine)

Anyway 

Accounts running around with black cat pfps and sharing almost the same handle as russian hackers who weren't identified yet snooping around online degenerates is a good way to expose your affiliates

 Something Something forcing someone to make a move... ideally you don't want your target in the wind... but we all knew the feds weren't getting anywhere.

They packed up and burned bridges on their way out... this should serve as a reminder and anyone with half a brain will think twice later... those without half a brain will get thrown under the bus.

We've seen how unintelligent they are. That long rant really helped solidify that assumption. 

If the feds are smart, they'll know what to do later.

This is going to be drawn out and I don't see them going into russia and picking up major players (ssa) - they just don't... it's almost a waste of time to try to pursue it and they know it... so try something else.

Don't announce that your infiltrating. The "in" was when he wanted to get new associates that can find his mistakes... it was right there... but opportunity slipped... why? Because you people taunt too much...

That's part of the lesson... again.

Idk why people have to keep relearning this.

Next month, I expect better out of everyone. 

I want to see less predictability... on all sides.

Life is hard and ever evolving.  
 The entire thing was a hot mess from the start. 
 * I'm judging how both sides handle it (as usual) 
 There was a lot of cringe to go around... but... there wasn't really a lie. He did contact the feds, and he did leave a line of communication open for the feds to contact "him" and as to hopefully try to snag him a pentester with inside information. 

My sekret lubber who looks like they have ties to the cia (now - all things considered - unless they're sitting on nostr) clearly didn't want me to say anything about how long the feds may have been in lockbits servers. 

My idea was like why? This will serve a purpose here in a minute. 
One way or another something will be learned.
