trump’s going to kill a bunch of people for this, probably ones you know, maybe you, consider toning down the epic poasting
snowden leaked it and another few subsequent leaks confirmed it (these include their literal cyberweapons one time there).
so yeah, the us has pretty much full access to everything thats online.
More or less
Remember back in like 2016 when everyone was getting hacked by that NotPetya ransomware? That was because some extremely nasty exploits for Windows the NSA had been hoarding got out and people started using them because they were so reliable and devastating, like “take over any Windows system anywhere as long as you have network access to it” devastating
They have to be careful about it though, so no one figures out what they are and patches them
They definitely have more, probably a lot more
Specifically, the Snowden thing they were talking about was probably when Snowden leaked a literal catalog of cyberweapons US security state ghouls could order and use lmao
Authoritative answer for “hexbear.net” is provided by a Cloudflare DNS server. They’re an American company so the feds could call them up and do whatever they want with it. Okay, so maybe our admins use a different nameserver. The “.net” zone is administered by Verisign, an American company, so actually they could call them up and do whatever and that’s it. Actually most of the root DNS nameservers are in
Okay, no DNS, everyone just saves the IP address of the server in France and it never changes. Idk if the Americans could force the French government to cooperate and get them to seize the servers or get the cloud server provider to do the same… but I don’t think it’s unlikely. Those are just the conventional, legal ways to do it. But an enormous amount of internet infrastructure is in the US or administered by a US company and we know from Snowden that the American security state has implants all throughout internet infrastructure. And we also know the NSA hoards exploits and has a department (Tailored Access Operations) specializing in hacking into things
If they really wanna do it, they can find a way
Idk I’m just riffing but tbh computer security is kinda a myth or at least extremely difficult to actually pull off building secure computer systems
This is why China, Iran, now Russia, the DPRK, and others basically have a separate but still connected internet from the main US-dominated one and are prepared to disconnect at any time
Oh that sucks I’d hate to lose this site, it’s the only thing keeping me sane with fascist rhetoric rising everywhere
Idk if the Americans could force the French government to cooperate and get them to seize the servers
What.cd was a music/book/software torrent site that rose from the ashes of oink’s pink place. The french government indeed seized the the servers at the request of the American Government.
