What is the website domain name?

pizzagate.com

Oh ur pizzagateDOTcom from voat! I saw your post on how mods were deleting your stuff

Just a heads up, Some of your pictures are not showing up.. * werkinonmahnightcheese * majestic ape caption music video

Great name btw

Do you believe Pizza Gate is real?

Do you think he would have a website dedicated to it if he didn't?

People who believe Pizza Gate are a special kind of stupid

it looks true cuz CTR has trolls denying it 24/7

Streisand effect

Lolz

Wasn't CTR part of the Clinton campaign? Why are you assuming they're around?

nice try. blocked for being ctr

You're either a troll or very paranoid. I hope you work it out.

Half of your comment history is insulting reddit users, the other half are calling for the assassination of the president elect. Interesting.

How how cute I got a reddit stalker. Would you like a cookie?

We all want cookies. Pony up, shill.

PM me your address, I'll mail you a cookie.

Did you ask everyone else, too? We expect many, many cookies.

No Nestlé, please.

I'm not a rich man, I can't afford cookies for everyone.

Oh. Uh. Next time, then.

If you're not rich at least work on that failing mind of yours...

I mostly stay subbed to this to make fun of the tin foil hat folks

Lol you're so right... we're like soOoOo stupid for believing in it. Almost as stupid as the people who don't believe Russia had anything to do with our election!! All of the circumstantial evidence that's been mounting the past few months is totally fake, and that's why the mainstream media won't address it properly right? They only address "real" news right? lmfao k bye

Russia did influence our election

Yeah, and Hillary raised all $500mil+ of her donations from non-foreign donors.... gtf...

I bet lots of foreign money was in the election. Doesn't mean Russia didn't do their part to influence the election.

One thing about me

I hate Hillary

I hate Trump

I'll happily throw either one of them under the bus any fucking day.

Lets put it this way if had a choice to save either Hillary or Trump but I couldn't save them both I would walk away and let them both die.

Who didn't influence the election?

Merkel?

SHILL

only joking

It's obviously spam.

Perfect privacy and inmotion don't really hide your identity, or your daughters.

Maybe you should be more careful.

is that a threat?

You will receive communication later today.

okay i'll wait for communication.

Lol wtf is this? Do you have daughters irl?

What the hell is happening here

I hit a nerve, that's what happened

OP please post the convo if you are contacted later today

Might want to give a heads up to someone you know and trust to keep an eye on you and help maintain credibility.

If you can, I'd invest in a firearm...

Or borrow one, or two, and take the family out to the range for some practice.

idk if you know this but there was a community awhile ago that got shut down here.

Wasn't anything like pizzagate, it was a community of people creating a counter narrative and arguing that our politicians are criminals. Entire private sub banned and majority of users forced to delete user accounts. Same sort of thing, threats. Users with numbers changed, it's government.

Shadow Government

They control it all, every soldier in their books. Don't forget it.

The things you always knew happened when you try to cross evil people in the government. They start doing evil shit.

The heck is this? 1337 hax0r larping event?

So the shady peepl are making fake accounts preceded by "ru" to make public threats? Not, like, contacting on the website or sending a private message?

People, I get it, but this is ridiculous.

It's absurd. Either u/pedosta created the account to post false threats to himself to add drama/legitimacy to his claim that Ukraine has some interest in Pizzagate, or someone sympathetic to his message decided to do it for him.

I hate the most that people who claim to be intelligent seem to fall for it like nobodies business.

I feel like I could do the worst Jewish impression saying schmuck and inserting hebrew symbols and everyone will lose their minds about Israel infiltrators.

Ukraine was CIA couped and CIA would like to quiet talk of pizzagate but that's the only connection I can see

Except it wasn't written by a Russian or Ukrainian. I wrote a longer response to the original.

why does he say Ukrainian hack attempts then

OP says Ukrainians are attacking him.

Then someone appears in thread.

What I am saying is that the guy who appeared in thread and pretended to be a foreigner is neither Ukrainian nor Russian.

yeah not sure who appeared in the thread I was just talking about the main story from OP here

Reread the whole thing I guess. This is a conversation in direct response to someone pretending to make "threats".

the troll got scared and deleted his stuff so it was a little hard to tell

Hasn't deleted his stuff, just his account. But I see what you mean.

"Stuff is deleted" is what you see.

"He probably deleted it" is a more or less safe assumption.

"The troll got scared" is unfounded imagination without any reasoning behind it.

definitely got scared, given the context

Alright, why not, lets follow this path.

Got scared is your idea. Can you base it on something? (This could turn into a pretty long comment chain, as I plan on doing the Socratic method, meaning that I ask simple questions and I hope that I get simple answers. So that nothing can be hidden from our view in huge walls of text.)

why don't you, I mean him, log back in under a new name and explain himself

I suppose this is a joke that falls flat.

If you have nothing about this subject, it is ok. I'm just saying - thinking the account was deleted out of fear is completely unreasonable.

If it was not a joke and you think I and him is the same person, feel free to continue this line of thought.

it's a good idea to mock him and trick into coming back and exposing himself more. I dod suspect you're him cuz there's no good reason a legit guy would come to his defense.

Alright, that is a good argument. Someone randomly has come to someones defense.

Alright, I could agree with this. Only... Defending him against what exactly? What threat was made against the original poster?

just going nuts with the damage control

speaking of Socrates, I'm a gadfly

What damage? There has to be damage to be any sort of damage control.

Now, what we got so far is a guy who made a threat, then deleted his account. Then logs in from another account to claim responsibility and have a laugh. at the shitstorm.

My theory during all this: "Someone pretending to be CIA to scare gullible folks. Deleted account because a) wanted to appear spookier or b) some sort of Reddit auto-moderation on new accounts."

Your theory: "A troll making a threat, then through an account XanLV calling himself out, then deleting his own account because he got scared of something and then logging back into the XanLV account to keep discussing the situation with one man to... To..." I can't even understand why. What damage and what control.

Do you see the problem? And not to be insulting, but every Rick and Tim considers himself a Socratic gadfly.

lot of damage control in this thread

this is marked down as true due to it

Alright, well, that is that then.

The only thing you need to consider something to be true is to be utterly and completely confused by it. Solid.

would be best for CTR to just go away, any thread where I see them going nuts I mark down as factual and printscreen it for use later

Just for my curiosity (and not to mark you down as a target or anything), how big is your CTR folder and how many screenshots does it have?

("Enough to put you all in jail' is not a number btw)

few hundred

Am I there?? /u/Horus_Krishna_6?

yeah yeah yeah that'll be me when I'm wrongly banned for stating facts again

No. It's quite obvious what happened, and that not it at all. That's not even a remotely realistic conclusion to jump to given the evidence.

That's not even a remotely realistic conclusion to jump to given the evidence.

you do know which sub you're in, yes?

Let us know if this was LARPing

I would doxx myself to some trusted people online that aren't closely connected to you irl as some sort of liability if something happens. That's just me though

He already has made a police report and a video of his experience posted to Voat after being threatened by someone else.

Oh this is the gear guy? I thought that was a different person. Thank you for clearing that up for me

Not positive, just the impression I got from the comments here.

No. It's a different guy.

Ah, my mistake! Thanks for correcting me.

Let us know if this was LARPing

I strongly doubt it. It's the type of thing only a retarded 15 year old, or a CIA agent would do.

Yep. Do you own a gun? If not, may I suggest a trip to your local gun store?

Took a snapshot of this convo. This is fucked

What's funny is some of the mods are usually so quick to remove and warn but not in this case.

http://imgur.com/a/pU0B4

Wtf

Well this is a pretty strange comment to make.

No worries, people. It is completely clear that the broken English and "ru" is designed to fool us into thinking the man is a foreigner.

Now a quick 101 for everyone who wants to spot bullshit on pretend foreigners. Whenever you see a text like this in broken English, look up a native speaker of the "supposed" language.

Each language has it's own set of rules so people from one language would make the same mistakes in other.

You see, in my language there are 2 genders. So whenever someone can't tell the difference, I suspect they are native English speakers. If they do see a difference but don't know which is which - it means they can see the difference, just haven't memorized the genders in my language. Same goes for very many rules I won't go in detail here.

Now here you see a "perfect privacy and inmotion" which could be a hint of a wrongly translated expression or an awful direct expression. Problem is, there is nothing like this in Russian. "Perfect privacy" translated directly is not something that makes any sense in Russian. (Also talking about Ukranian here, which is a little different, still.) If the guy would have said "cool hidden", yeah, that makes a sense as a direct Russian translation. "Perfect privacy" does not. And if we suppose he used Google translate and failed miserably, this is not the case. Google translate would not give out a non-word as "inmotion".

And, after all this, he gets the "maybe you should be more careful" perfectly correct. "should be" is a strange phrase which, while is not difficult, is not something from the mouth of a Russian.

Basically, while this is all shit, always remember to ask the native speaker of the "supposed" language if he can recognize the mistakes. And this ain't the "work of a government trying to discredit". They'd know better.

Where's the broken English?

Well hot diggitty dang, thank you. Edited my comment.

Hey man, good run down but I was just larping.

Perfect privacy is the whois register for pizzagate.com and inmotion is the web host (also from whois).

It's funny watching these paranoid schizophrenics generate a whole narrative with 0 evidence though 😁

https://imgur.com/uYFJVGl.png

Won't pretend I understand the screenshot.

But I don't give a fuck about mason and Horus you know. Just some people easily triggered.

What is the cream of this whole ordeal is OP himself playing a lean mean gangster and freedom fighter. Shows in what hands the whole website is in.

It's the multiple account login screen from reddit is fun. Those were the user names I made to play.

Also, lol @ /u/freedmason

https://imgur.com/NDE8YQn.png

No, not my ip! Please not my ip I have children 1337 h4x0r!!

I think I'm starting to understand...

Fuck, man, I don't. What the fuck is actually happening?

I think he's showing us the move with plausible deniability (I was demoralizing them!) Save that screenshot he posted of the mutli login screen.

Alright, so instead of "one kid messing around" we have a CIA agent who is actually lawful good, but is recognizing the evil that his government makes him do and is now trying to expose the awful deeds and warning this community by making threats and in the same time confessing to them? Because I can see that.

Probably not CIA (although it's possible). My guess is DOD, they do most of the internet trolling.

How can you deduce which one is it?

Probabilities. DOD has a huge budget for this, and has been busted doing it in the past.

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/2z2r6g/eglin_air_force_base_busted_gaming_reddit/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Earnest_Voice

Alright, so what did the guy actually warn us about? What can I take away from this?

Pizza = real is all I know.

Shills use multiple accounts, and threaten users. Oh, and this is tolerated by reddit.

Well we all knew that! So what did this comment actually show us? What was his message? I just can't seem to grasp it. I'm not "in" enough you know?

What can we learn from this?

People like to goof on you guys because its too easy

So what did this comment actually show us?

A screen shot.

Where is it?

https://i.imgur.com/uYFJVGl.png

Done! Caught redhanded!

As soon as a girl talks to them we probably won't hear from them for a while.

Well, was nice knowing you. The masons got ya now. Dun goofed for sure.

Also, you might be surprised to learn that I am actually you and I deleted the ru accounts and am now just doing damage control to protect you from the... I don't know man. It all seems like the whole "Holy trinity - all is one and three different things" nonsense to me, but it is a solid theory out there right now and who am I to judge, right?

Also, for your next plan I suggest you *mess up the formatting"בְרִ

Random Hebrew symbols can blow up a whole lot of "you-know-what" type of websites. Better link to somewhere and have a filename with those symbols or something.

Also, any secret surprise message in your ru account name symbols or random?

I think he's trying to help us...

That's a relief. Wouldn't want a guy like that on the wrong side.

Now what do we do?

Now what do we do?

Archive everything, and then release weaponized autism (research it).

I've already photographed the screen and printed photos so that even if they instigate a "Solar explosion" that cooks my hard drive I will have a copy. So this Comment-gate is safe with me.

Lol, you're a funny guy man. (no /s!)

This ain't a laughing matter I'm afraid. A comment has been made on the internet. I wish you'd take this a little bit more seriously.

You're right, now how do i paste a screenshot in to Google maps? This whole thing makes me think you know about places that hackers might use. Some people are saying DOD in this thread. I don't know about that but I do know there are pedophiles in the world so it makes sense they would post about it on instagram.

Truth, maga, fake news.

Learn and open your eyes folks, this is real and is not fake.

Of-fucking-course I know about hacking places. I once installed the Tor browser without any help and I almost never leave the house at all.

so what you want to do is not to encrypt files. All encryptions have these things called "bugs" and they make holes through which federal agents can crawl through and deencrypt your file.

What I would suggest is that you find a person who you can trust but who knows nothing about you. (I would suggest a bank vault, but you know who owns those, right?) So you get that person a radio. Something made by Russians, not Americans. And not China, because, well, you know, right? ;)

So you get that radio and get yourself a radio of the same manufacturer. That way, when you speak into your own radio, the other guy can hear the transmission. But do not speak into it. Instead turn the screenshot into the Binary language, originally used by Binarians, I suppose, but now it is a hacking tool. That way you can send the whole picture over the radiowaves. Binarian is harder to decrypt and consists of ones and zeroes, so they won't make the radiowaves too heavy. That way you can transmit the whole picture.

I would agree to listen to it myself, but people in this thread suspect I am CIA. Maybe I am a sleeper agent, I am not sure, but I wouldn't trust myself with that sort of information.

Haha! It's so funny to threaten people's children! Yuck yuck yuck!

If you're DOD, this isn't going to be laughed off. You're way outside the boundaries for US operations.

the old just kidding around excuse when caught

Lol yes, I never guessed my public post on this public forum would be seen.

Caught doing what exactly?

Trolling fucking idiots that what. Retards.

the desperation it burns

Finally something we can both agree on.

Your mother must be so proud

LETS MAKE THIS THE TOP COMMENT

Beware you can get assassinated.

I don't even care... but on a lighter note.. I'll work for you guys if you give me a half decent wage.

Great username btw. You have a historic responsibility.

Dude, are you willing to sell this domain?

Why so you can twist it? Is that what you want huh huh?

no, because I want to polish it and add more information and sources.

That's exactly what a shill would say...

Checkmate illuminati

Lol perhaps check my posting history idiot. Its also exactly what a legit truth seeker would say. You know, like me.

This is also what a shill would say when confronted with being a shill...

Heh. No my humor.

It's pretty annoying getting called a shill when you clearly are not. Just trying to help this community. Fuck off.

to be fair, people who post here regularly would make quite a buck selling their account

Brb selling my acc to CTR

Likely alibi shill >:[

I think it's a smart idea--free cash for doing what we love most without any extra effort. If any particular individual ISN'T doing it, I would think it ignorant

Awwhh team up yo. Message him say if you do start to make a profit then let me update your website and secure it. I wouldn't just ask someone for something he just started working hard on. It is already good material. But that is my opinion.

Its great material already! I love the website itself but I would like to improve and spread

Lmao for that you do not need a domain. Domain and the website content are 2 different things. Domain just points to the web host. However if you really want to add more info I suggest contacting the owner or asking him editor rank on the website as WordPress has easy CMS system for information management.

I would still need the domain because its awesome? If i want i can use copy the source of pizzagate.com and create my own website and polish it like that but it would make no sense because pizzagate.com would still be up and running

Now's a good time for a medical examination 🙄

You name means "pedos stop" in my language

Pedo

Dosta - stop, no more

If there's a steady paycheck in it I'll believe anything you say.

Unfortunately, this isn't a joke or an attempt to scare you. It's just reality.

Monica Petersen.

Panopticon.

I mean...really?

Brilliant marketing stunt imho.

You never know, it might be the russkies attempting to gain access from the actual place they are located?

Russkies in ukraine? Or ukrainians in Ukraine? Or actually it could be anyone from anywhere in the world using ip routing.

I love how everyone in this thread is in agreement yet we can't get the American public to accept the fact IPs != Proof of origin

Is it possible for someone here in America to hack someone and make it look like it came from Russia?

Very easy, which is why I don't believe the CIA when they say the hacks came from a Russian IP address. Hell I change my IP Address to come from Australia so I can get games hours before they release in my country.

Hmm interesting. I've also been reading about a supposed Obama led coup in Ukraine that led to the Russian intervention in Crimea. I wonder if he has state actors orchestrating these attacks from there.

VPN tunnels are possible to decrypt actually, many sites like 4chan won't even let you use a VPN and comment.

Yes. And the name of that "someone" is the CIA. This fits directly into their "OMFG Russian Hackers" narrative they've been pushing.

People who question the Russian hackers narrative may be Russian hackers themselves.

/s

Every web site gets constantly bashed with crappy hack attempts. The source is misleading because it can always be a proxy/vpn, or more likely a hacked host. You hack one worthless website and use it as a proxy to hack everything else.

Exactly. I have a small business and I just had to redo my website because it got hacked and completely wiped...

Don't believe in nightly backups eh?

Luckily I do 2 backups. They wiped the backup that the hosting company provided... I have my own Google Drive backups as well, but I recently changed my password a couple months ago and forgot to change it for the backup. So it's a little outdated, but nothing I can't sort out.

What's your business? Is it something controversial in anyway or were the hackers just complete cunts? I guess it wouldn't surprise me if people do things like that just to be cunts. Most people are cunts is what I'm getting at.

People definitely hack websites just to be cunts. I had a personal website of my photography based on a photo gallery script I found at sourceforge, and it got hacked one day, although my hackers were sort of benevolent and didn't trash anything, just made the initial page different and left me a text file showing me where I had weakness in security.

Seems like that was sort of a beneficial hack, providing the page wasn't too hard to return back to normal, which I doubt is the case?

it was easy enough. so yeah, it was beneficial in that it let me know I had a security problem, but that could be said of any hack, really.

could have been much worse, for sure.

Some hackers are just decent people trying to help. Some others replace Handy Manny with hardcore porn.

We live in a weird world.

Not contorversial in any way, although I should be more careful not to link my online opinions with the same account I promote business with. People get upset over anything. Probably just cunts.

US Psychological Warfare in Ukraine: Targeting Online Independent Media Coverage

Joel Harding, 'Ukraines King Troll' established the Information Operations Institute

During this past year an American has given the government and military of Ukraine the power and tools to attack people in the United States, Europe, and where ever you are reading this.

If you have a blog, website and write about current events, you are included too. It shows an across the board monolithic effort to destroy alternative news and free speech, journalists, and activists. If you are writing about Ferguson and police brutality, human rights, or responsible government -How how long does an organized IO army need to destroy your reputation, income, and work when its focus- is YOU. Whats next? Wait and see.

In web development, bots have existed forever. Most of them come from USA (u probably dont notice and think they are legit), Russia, or China.

This has long since been mitigated by most professional web developers by using Cloudflare, a program that allows you to ban IP ranges of whole countries or individual IPs of repeat offenders.

This is nothing new and likely doesn't even have anything to do with your niche/subject matter.

I take it you are new to looking at your own web traffic?

I use stop forum spam for a gaming website I admin. Those not auto banned I manually check to verify who or what is signing up before allowing access. I'll then add the IP and such to the database for future users if I'm not satisfied with the results. Doesn't really take long.

Lol

Could just be someone sitting behind a vpn anywhere in the world. If its a hack attempt I figure they would at least do that much to cover their tracks.

By default I block traffic from China, Russia and several Eastern European states because so many hacks come through those areas of the world. Maybe OP is getting hit because of the nature of his site but I'd wager it is equally possible that it is just standard hacking. Those fuckers will try and hack a site about yoga positions if they can.

It's generally just bots owning and spreading, especially for sites powered with Wordpress or something similar.

I get 250k hack attempts per day - AND I've already blocked China and Russia - so this is just the rest of the world.

Are you considering port scans hack attempts, in other words what's the minimum to be considered a hack attempt in your book?

250k hacks a day? Probably a page load

when I worked at lockheed - we were getting, IIRC, ~70k request a minute to our servers that were serving things like FTP...

How do you do this? Blocking traffic from specific regions?

My hosting provider (DreamHost) has a ton of free tools they give you to set it up and block traffic from certain regions along with a bunch of other useful stuff.

What's to keep a person from hiding behind a vpn or even a VPS/RDP that's been hacked in the USA?

It's more like Ukrainian cybercriminals are constantly trying to compromise wordpress blogs so they can put up phishing websites. It's usually a lot easier than setting up a new site from scratch.

Any wordpress blog owner is going to have this problem, unfortunately.

Ukraine has very lenient cyber-crime laws (compared to the EU and Russia) and the chaos created by the civil war raging there makes it a popular end point routing location.

I highly doubt the hacker are actually located in Ukraine. They just use the infrastructure there seeing as the infra was well developed (pre war) and the risk of getting the hacked traced back to their physical location is minimal. ( Some bodies from the MH-17 crash still haven't been recovered. Do you really think authorities are going to risk artillery fire and armed rebel check point to recover sever records?)

This exactly. I'm living in Ukraine for a moment.

Not living in the Luhansk or Donetsk regions I hope?

My happiness, not too close.

The ones that bombed the crash site with artillery was the ukrainian army.

Wordpress sites always get hit by these kinds of attacks. Most of the time it is done by bots so the IP address for the source of the attack doesn't mean much(could be via TOR or VPN). Chances are the source of the attack is also a hijacked computer, router, or IoT device that is just part of the attackers botnet. Generally these kinds of attacks are just looking for common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations found in Wordpress sites.

Do you own any other websites? They're probably trying to break into anything and everything that they can.

Wordpress sites are are very, very, very common target. Usually not because they want to see anything you're running, but because they are trying to compromise your server and use it to host phishing sites.

Cybercriminals often use google tricks to find wordpress sites and then try common exploits as a quick way to host a phish.

Ha!

I run 60 WordPress web sites for clients. Russian hackers have always tried all night long to hack in. It's just where the hackers IPs originate and always has been.

Tossing up the plugin Login Lockdown seems to help a lot.

Uh, Like the fortune cookie read, "That wasn't chicken...."

VPN attack.

Good job on the website.

To be fair, a lot of people in Eastern Europe are always trying to access my wordpress site, too.

This is normal.

I run IT security in a small company. Any open server we have (and a few of my private VPSs) are seeing hundreds of hits a day, mostly eastern Europe/China.

This is just par for the course man.

Really? Thats crazy, didnt expect that amount of hacks in general to be honest. Is it just bots? What are they after?

I think most often they are looking for opportunities to set up spam servers.

Everything on the public internet is attacked daily somewhat at random. Bots crawl the internet looking for easy hosts to pwn.

Most probes I see are on standard service ports (22 for ssh (remote shell access), 80 for http, 443 for https).

For ssh, they'll always try to log in as "root", "admin", "news", "games" accounts (and then go down the list of other general names).

When it comes to URLs, they're mostly looking for php consoles and other admin login screens.

Sometimes they'll get funky and try to enter with less standard services (nagios, zabbix).

Other times, they'll send malformed packets on purposes (think like this: they try to establish remote connection and then send a packet that's not supposed to come next in the sequence).

The way this works, they don't really target me specifically. They just run mindless probes and scans of thousands and thousands servers on the internet, so they try to set up the broadest set of most common used names/services and they hope that they get lucky.

If you're interested in this, go to http://shodan.io. It's a search engine for other servers. You can see weird shit in there. I get regular scans from shodan's own hosts every day against my servers. I also get some research facility from Berkley (never cared to look them up, because they can't get in and I assume they're the good guys just mapping the web).

Yep. It's called having a website whilst looking at logs.

Background noise for anyone running a number of sites. Just learn to recognise what's normal and what's not.

Or better yet, don't use WP at all. Use HTML like a big boy.

http://webdesign.about.com/od/windowshtmleditors/tp/free-windows-editors.htm

Yeah and go to work on a horse and wear a sack because this is the 90's again. Again.

Ukraine? There's no evidence besides that, and they could really be anywhere in the world but just routed through Ukraine?

That's 1000% positive proof Putin is personally trying to hack your website.

This man gets it

Crazy trolling

Ive heard of people getting paid to raid sites mostly from the 🇺🇦

Ukraine will be the new North Korea.

My ex wifes companies website has been getting a shit ton of hits from Russia and the Ukraine. So I don't think it's just you. Seems to be a lot of sites. I do not know if her companies site is a Wordpress site or not.

Just like the Ukrainian Hackers who attacked the DNC!

You should create a honeypot on your server and see what they do. Most WP hackers want to deface sites and spread their propaganda. If you let them in, you can find out who they are.

Make backups of everything, obviously!

Sounds like the plot to mr. Robot.

FYI almost all hack attempts on WordPress are automated from botnets of other hacked sites and don't give a shit what your site is about. WordPress is a piece of shit, so is joomla, druple, and any other cms that uses php code to write other php code. The real purpose of these hacks is to send email spam and occasionally use the site as a platform to serve even more malware to your grandma.

If it's a wordpress site, expect to get enormous amount of bots hitting it, trying to exploit it, no matter what the content is.

Ukraine is an aggregation point for traffic. Lots of hackers route through there, and if you're using WordPress that's why you've attracted attention.

This is normal.

Or it's made to look Ukrainian? Wouldn't your first order of business be to hide the location your hacking from?

Also, wouldnt a hack lets say from within the US hide its location also and say it's coming from a more questionable location?

lol

Every IP address is getting scanned/targeted with exploits all the time, just background noise.

OP, is your site a self hosted or hosted WordPress site? If so, be aware WordPress is the worst platform to host a site on unless you're diligent in keeping it up to date. There are bots scouring the web looking for WordPress sites. When they find one, they try different exploits known in whatever version it's running.

I've had phishing attempts that lead me to a page hidden within an unsuspecting host's WordPress site. They create a page on the user's site that hosts a fake Google/DocuSign/FB page to get you to put your credentials in. That's one example of how WordPress can be exploited.

Just my thoughts.

Probably proxies.

Ukraine has a very dense population of hackers...And WordPress is an easy easy easy target. WordPress is about the worst option you can pick. It's easy to scan for Android easy to attack.

By hack do you mean brute force a password on SSH or something similar? If so, then no this is normal. Bots from all over the world are constantly trying to brute force low hanging fruit.

Look into Clinton connections to Ukraine and this makes more sense.

I like how the top post in this thread are 'just sure' it's routine hacking, and definitely not related to pizzagate at all.

Because if you admin any systems or sites, you know this happens to anything exposed to the internet.

Buy a domain name, set up a wordpress site and expose it to the internet. Then you'll know why it's normal

Because that's actually a well informed opinion by professionals that do this sort of thing. Whereas I can tell that you don't by your uninformed opinion. Real recognize real.

Yeah, I had it with my father's business site that I manage too. According to WordFence security it comes from 'Russia' (East Ukraine) but it could also be VPNs or 'casual Ukrainians' doing it to make it look like it is from occupied East Ukraine.

But why would they just try to brute attack every WordPress site they find by most basic username and password combos which is admin & something, if they were Russian government-based and wanted to get some real data?

P.S. You made me want to return to WordPress related developing stuff...

I manage about 300 Wordpress sites daily. They are constantly getting hit by bots from Ukraine ip addresses. You're not special.

I own a photographic website that is subjected daily to Ukrainian hack attacks and has been for years.

I have also been hacked by the FBI, CIA, MI6, MI5, Mossad and Al Qaeda. Hacking is a popular past-time all over the world. There are even subreddits dedicated to the practice.

What's your point?

How do you monetize a site like that?

Wordpress has a pile of vulnerabilities that are in the wild. You're being probed to see if those vulnerabilities exist on your Wordpress instance.

They are automated bots. make sure you use the Wordfence plugin.

By ukranian hack attempts you mean "Im going to peddle my lonely ghost town of a website on this sub", correct?

I had a NAS that got almost got bruteforced by someone from China. Could be it's just a bot. But what do I know.

Normal..I have a business specialising in niche domain services. 70% of my 'visitors' are from that neck of the woods, scanning for vulnerabilities in my WordPress site. Auto update that shit and ignore it.

You own it or you run it?

Where can we download your logs to independently verify what you have said?

what's the URL of your pizzagate website ?

That's weird, Putin's probably got a Crimean troll factory fucking with you because he's actually the pizzagate kingpin! So crafty!

I've heard that there are a lot of TOR exit nodes there. There are other possible reasons that I'm less sure of too. Their internet infrastructure may well be particularly susceptible to hijacking. There may be a popular VPN there. There may just be a higher than normal quotient of hackers there.

How does one find out if they are being hacked? I built my own pc, and for security sake I'd like to learn more about encryption and setting up a VPN. How do I know if someone's trying to access my information? And info would help fee free to pm or reply hear! Much appreciated

Lol dude everyone with a wordpress site sees constant hack attempts. Welcome to the internet.

Don't even ask for proof everyone, make sure to believe anything with pizza in the title.

I own a website as well(www.nrgiseternal.com) and I have gotten repeated hacking attempts from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida sound familiar redditors?

You should note that the purple revolution army of Soros+co siezed power in Ukraine back in 2014 in a "progressive" military nazi coup and removed the democratically elected government.

I set up a little web facing honeypot one time as a home lab project. The amount of Russian traffic was astounding.

I voted for Trump and am glad he isn't immediately setting off for war with Russia. And Russia imho had nothing to do with Clinton losing in such a spectacular way.

But I don't think for a second that Russia is da good guys.

I scan for vulnerable WordPress sites via Google and reddit all the time. Using a scanner. And I'm just a stoner that minors in security. Back to the pizza with you.

Shadow Government

Except it wasn't written by a Russian or Ukrainian. I wrote a longer response to the original.

Very easy, which is why I don't believe the CIA when they say the hacks came from a Russian IP address. Hell I change my IP Address to come from Australia so I can get games hours before they release in my country.

Yes. And the name of that "someone" is the CIA. This fits directly into their "OMFG Russian Hackers" narrative they've been pushing.

Now what do we do?

Archive everything, and then release weaponized autism (research it).

Probabilities. DOD has a huge budget for this, and has been busted doing it in the past.

Alright, so what did the guy actually warn us about? What can I take away from this?

You're right, now how do i paste a screenshot in to Google maps? This whole thing makes me think you know about places that hackers might use. Some people are saying DOD in this thread. I don't know about that but I do know there are pedophiles in the world so it makes sense they would post about it on instagram.

Truth, maga, fake news.

Learn and open your eyes folks, this is real and is not fake.

What's your business? Is it something controversial in anyway or were the hackers just complete cunts? I guess it wouldn't surprise me if people do things like that just to be cunts. Most people are cunts is what I'm getting at.

That's not even a remotely realistic conclusion to jump to given the evidence.

you do know which sub you're in, yes?
