Just a rigged wheel
Looking through the latest ShadowBrokers dump. Much of it is logs of attempted exploits. The NSA logs look a lot like my programming logs.
My log:
NSA hacking log:
Nerds sound the same regardless of goal. Slight difference of goal here. I was working on education, NSA was working on crime.
Here NSA is trying to establish a direct line to 'Sanam Mirchandi', probably should be Sanam Mirchandani. He seems to be an econ reporter in the Arab part of the world, writing the typical stuff about stocks going up and down. Nothing unusual or political.
I think it was Max Keiser who observed a few years ago that NSA's main job is frontrunning stocks. They never catch terrorists, they just make money. This info fits. If they can gather up all of a reporter's sources, they can short and long before everyone else.
It also fits the ORIGINAL purpose of the web. NSA built the Web so it could frontrun science. NSA wanted to get all the ideas and sources before anyone else.
I was listening last night to an episode of the old FBI radio show, featuring a couple of carny scammers setting up a crooked roulette wheel. One of them is connecting a newfangled electrical system with solenoids and relays, and the other one is grousing that the old mechanical system worked better.
FBI understands rackets because FBI is a racket to rig "terrorists". Like the younger dude in this episode, they're fully up to date with the latest relays and solenoids and twitters to insure that a "terrorist" hits the correct number.
