Last Notes npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Can tell milw0rm is a blast from the past for a lot of people seeing these posts. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…tkfs same! npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Internet Archive upload so that it will be properly OCR'd npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Also, if you did enough internet crimes back in the day the FBI would archive your website in black and white for you and stick it in a folder in a big filing cabinet somewhere. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I'm going to get this FOIA release up on Internet Archive so it is properly searchable. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# In response to a #FOIA request from me the #FBI have released records relating to late 90s #hacker group milw0rm. Additional records not included in this Vault release were located by the FBI and I have requested these be processed for potential release as well. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…rpu4 the book on butterflies? No. From what I read he kept some kind of detailed diary that he encrypted during the time he was planning and developing the AIDS program, no idea how or who I’d ask for that though. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Finally I am going to write about Alexey Ivanov & his partner in crime Vasiliy Gorshkov who were breaching U.S. companies from Russia in 2000, offering "consulting" to victims & threatening to delete data from hacked computers and leak sensitive records. This feels like proto-ransomware methodology. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# In parallel I am writing the most complete account of the life, career & crimes of Dr Joseph Popp Jnr, the man everyone agrees created & executed the first ever software based ransomware attack in 1989. I've found the contradictory and missing details of his life frustrating & am going to fix that. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I'm currently writing a #blog about two American #hacker kids who held a U.S. university to ransom via modem in 1980. This was one of the earliest extortion cases involving data or availability of data I had found until I read about people holding tape archives to ransom in the 1970s. I’ll definitely be writing about that too. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# The next big push I have planned over at the #blog (realhackhistory.org) is to document some of the people and events I see as linked to the #history of #ransomware before what we think of as modern ransomware was a thing. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I put hours & hours into this #blog, combing through newspaper archives for cool fun images of what newspaper illustrators thought of computer crime in the 1970s. If you’ve ever wondered about the origin of #hacker illustration tropes here it is. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# About to put together a version of this for the 70s. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Does anyone know of a source for 60 Minutes broadcasts from the 70s, like an archive or something? Would love to see this segment "Dial E For Embezzlement" which aired back in 1976. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# If you want to read how I expand on this summary then check out: npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# If I had to explain this whole project in a few sentences it is this. The history of hacking has become some incomplete Wikipedia pages, corporate infosec marketing & the few books that journalists who got scoops on hacking bothered to write. Somebody who cares needed to go back to primary sources. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…r9el they are going to switch to a much more expensive compute alternative to their search engine presumably to get people hooked while they try and work out how to get people to eventually pay for it all. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I love that this seems to have been the phrase used to show typesets in the FBI lab: npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Same group also attacked Mastodon npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Looks like Bluesky has been knocked offline by 313 Team again. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…lzwu I think the documentary goes into detail but I think that this crew were hitting multiple US businesses that were large enough to get them on the FBI radar and since the Citibank hack in 1994 Russian hackers were considered a big threat. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…lzwu I’m not sure I understand what part you are referring to? npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I'll upload the FOIA docs to Internet Archive when I get a chance, 116 pages of FBI records relating to the case. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# The second half of this Russian made documentary discusses the case. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# “and i will repeat don;'t fuck my brains with sometimes stupid thingz” npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Just received FBI #FOIA docs on Operation Flyhook from back in 2000, an #FBI operation to lure two Russian #hackers, with agreement from the Russian government, to the U.S. for attempting to extort American companies in a sort of proto #ransomware scheme. Vasily Gorshkov and Alexey Ivanov didn’t suspect a thing. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# If you are on a budget and need to do specific newspaper or magazine archive related research sign up for a free trial at www.newspapers.com, you’ll need a debit or credit card, then immediately cancel. You still get a week free trial and the site will automatically offer you a price reduction. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Who up pod slurping? npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Is “Sneakers or Hackers” the “Elvis or the Beatles” of the #hacker world? npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…wjet @nprofile…j0eh yeah military spending is historically the one reliable surefire source of income for US businesses npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Silicon Valley reorienting so it can profit from automated war crimes as a service is quite something to behold, but it has always been like this over the decades. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I’m sure I am preaching to the choir here but YouTube is a platform that is actively hostile to the maintenance of hard to find or lost media, I can only imagine how may historically relevant videos have been permanently lost because of pernicious copyright claims. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I love YouTube, where you can have an unmonetized video clip of a 27 year old TV show taken down after it has been up for two years with no issue because copyright. I’m sure everyone is lining up to pay for this clip. I’ll be putting it on Internet Archive later. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…rpu4 was your presentation more on the technical side or did you talk about Popp and his eccentricities as well? npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…rpu4 the story is so fascinating and there is so little written about him that is easily accessible online. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I am going to try to write at least one #blog a month over at realhackhistory.org & not start any new drafts as I’ve got over a dozen in varying states of completion. The goal is to have a blog on the life and crimes of the grandfather of #ransomware Joseph Popp be the next release. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# It is the early 2000s and Microsoft has introduced an onslaught of security vulnerabilities incorporating Internet & web connectivity into every part of Windows. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# A somewhat prominent infosec journalist was accused of stealing money from an Occupy community kitchen fund in a major U.S. city and then briefly tried to run a chunk of Anonymous as a personal army and scoop generation machine sounds like a conspiracy theory but.. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Biometric locks for phones aren’t just convenient for you, they are convenient for the cops. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# The fact that so many national and international newspaper archives are paywalled behind expensive subscription services is really sad. Makes hobbyist research less accessible when you have to part with chunks of money just to peruse for tangents to go on. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# It’s even funnier (?) because to my recollection most of the blackhat hackers I know didn’t tend to think he was someone to look up to at all, probably because they’ve known people like him up close and personal for real and know how dangerous and toxic they are to the people in their orbit. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# At least once a week I think about how the U.S. & UK infosec influencer sphere idolized, embraced & joked about John McAfee long after the murder and rape allegations were public & what that says about a lot of the loudest voices in that scene who are always clamoring for the most attention & clout. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# “Worlds richest man cackles as he runs social media platform where anyone can undress women who dare to post photos of themselves” sounds like a plot from an episode of some scifi anthology series from the early 2010s. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# It isn’t lost on me that Musk, supposedly this champion of free speech online, has handed a case so clearly egregious and indicative of the detachment from reality that big tech companies are gripped with to people who want to regulate the hell out of the internet. It is practically perfect for it. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…pp82 people aren’t equipped to deal with all of this! npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Every funny video posted on platforms like Instagram now have at least a few people convinced it is AI no matter how obvious it might be that the video is real. We’re creating a whole generation of people who are afraid to trust anything they see online, and not in a good way. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…qa6s it’s just harmful all the way down to be honest. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Like I’m sad about the AI blogs and the flood of fake, slop text but younger people have really been fucked over too. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I think a lot about how what Gen Z really seems to love online is short whimsical, authentic videos of people up to cool stuff or video of amusing chance occurrences and how generative AI has become a sewage pipe pumping fake and contrived nonsense on to every platform to destroy that source of fun. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…z8h4 I had thought it was Conti too but couldn’t be sure I wasn’t misremembering. Makes sense the Russian government made an effort to retrieve him as supposedly Conti are very friendly with some politicians. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I find it impossible to think that ransomware gangs won’t make use of real world violence in a similar way to extort, applying extra pressure to specific corporate executives or corporate offices themselves. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# With everything going on I think this slipped past a lot of people but France has swapped Kasatkin the Russian basketballer accused of being a #ransomware gang member for a French citizen held in #Russia. Did we ever figure out which ransomware gang? I can’t remember now. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Bizarre to me that a unit within ICE is involved here but this is still good news. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Masters of Downloading #FBI #FOIA release with documents from 1998 including surveillance photos which I haven’t seen in any other release I’ve received in all my years of FOIA. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# “IN THIS CASE. AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS BEING DIRECTED AT FCC BY NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCIES AS WELL AS THE INDUSTRY ITSELF IN TRYING TO IDENTIFY "CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT" SO THAT HE COULD BE INTERVIEWED.” npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# People think the Max Headroom signal intrusion is crazier but this is pretty damn crazy too. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I love this detail, the FBI had a plan to call the voice mailbox attached Captain Midnight’s manifesto to try and lure him into calling an FBI number that they could then use to trace his calls. The agent was going to pose as an author documenting the plight of satellite viewers. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I haven’t had a chance to read over all of the documents so if people see anything interesting while flicking through them feel free to reply here. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# You can find the Captain Midnight #FOIA documents uploaded over at Internet Archive now. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…nscl they also have I think the seal for the records department on there. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…nscl they also have I think the seal for the records department on there. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# The Max Headroom intrusion gets a lot more attention because it was weirder, but Captain Midnight did it first. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Also included is this handwritten note from Captain Midnight to a publication called “Satellite Times” as part of his campaign against HBO. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Looking through the Captain Midnight record release, there’s this manifesto from Captain Midnight that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere based on some cursory searches. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Just arrived today, two CDROM #FOIA releases from the FBI, one on the group Masters of Downloading and one on Captain Midnight who hit HBO with a broadcast signal intrusion in 1986. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Just got a notification that my PII has been exposed in this data theft and leak as I subscribe to wired. Not great. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…f856 I probably wouldn’t be doing video but maybe eventually if this really takes off. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Just got a notification that my PII has been exposed in this data theft and leak as I subscribe to @wired.com. Not great. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I know a lot of hackers, activists, hacktivists, academics and journalists follow me so I’d hope there’d be no shortage of guests! npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# I’m thinking about doing a monthly podcast in 2026. It’ll be fairly relaxed, myself & a guest or guests go away & watch a piece of #hacker related media & then get together (remotely) & discuss it & the context for it, I’ll throw in some trivia with surrounding #hacking history. Is this interesting? npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# @nprofile…d9ea one obscure hacking incident at a time! npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Pro-Palestinian hacktivist group Keymous Plus, generally aligned with Russian groups, is siding with Thailand against Cambodia. They are one of the few groups in the Russian orbit I have seen to pick Thailand in this conflict. Some researchers suspect Keymous are based in Algeria. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Also you better all believe I’ll be filing more #FOIA than you can wave a stick at in 2026, and hopefully be getting back a lot of documents I’ve been waiting years for now. npub1wshafvqw60gu95eaf83wkdh0vfags2kuzfhtp80cp4yvle0scrfq57uyeh [realhackhistory@home]# Looking back on 2025 I want to thank everyone who has followed me, caught any of my videos on #YouTube or checked out any of the blogs I have written.
