Dark Overlord hacks 9-11

Dark Overlord, the extortionist hackers who leaked an entire season of Orange is the New Black when their ransom demands weren't met, who also tried to extort West Park Capital and ultimately released their NDA's, reports and contracts, are now trying to extort the "Deep State" for 10GB of files relating to 9-11 they stole from insurance agencies and legal firms. They've threatened to "burn down the deep state" and "trump Snowden's finest work."

At least one company, Hiscox Syndicates, has admitted their security was breached.


...we were made aware that a US law firm that advised Hiscox, some of our commercial policyholders and other insurers, had experienced a data breach in which information was stolen. The law firm’s systems are not connected to Hiscox’s IT infrastructure and Hiscox’s own systems were unaffected by this incident. One of the cases the law firm handled for Hiscox and other insurers related to subrogation litigation arising from the events of 9/11, and we believe that information relating to this was stolen during that breach.

Other alleged victims of the hackers include Lloyds of London and Silverstein Properties.

Dark Overlord is releasing the files in "layers". They made their first release shortly after their initial announcement, having received 3 bitcoins ($11,000) in payment. The link to those files can be found here. They made a second release a few days ago and have announced that a third release is forthcoming very soon.

Forensic experts have confirmed that the files are indeed from the 2001 era and are legitimate.

Conclusion

So what does all of this mean?

TheDarkOverlord is a professional, as you might have gathered from his track record. There was very little “noise” in the volume – files weren’t shuffled around and reorganized. There are no glaring artifacts that scream out TDO’s true identity.

I am surprised that Windows was used. I expected TAILS or another Linux flavor. There are a lot of privacy implications from using Windows – even in a VM.

File metadata suggests the files are authentic. It would be a huge amount of work to create these files out of nothingness, using outdated Office products (or modifying metadata to show that), and then match these timestamps to file system timestamps. It isn’t impossible, but I would classify it as “extremely extremely unlikely”.

And, lastly – if and when more VeraCrypt volumes are decrypted, we will learn more about TDO’s tactics and techniques.

So far, no smoking gun material has been released in either layer. It is possible that Dark Overlord doesn't have any incriminating evidence. This is somewhat unlikely, however, as they realize that they will never be able to extort anyone again if their bluff gets called.

Meanwhile, Steemit, which along with Twitter, Reddit, Pastebin and others, have banned TDO, is abuzz with the recent unexplained purchase of $2.5 million in bitcoin. The purchase went through Bitfinex, which was infamously hacked in 2017 for $72 million in bitcoin, sending the market tumbling.

The Dark Overlords are demanding "about $2 million in bitcoin" to keep the files secret.

What Is Subrogation?

Subrogation is defined as a legal right that allows one party (e.g., your insurance company) to make a payment that is actually owed by another party (e.g., the other driver’s insurance company) and then collect the money from the party that owes the debt after the fact.

@Bisbonian stripped of money for 9/11. You probably wouldn't be surprised at all to find that not one dollar was taken from Saudi Arabia or any of the Saudi princes.

@Battle of Blair Mountain

the 9/11 widow's lawsuit is either going on or will be going on soon. The fact that the Saudis were involved with it was sorta known before the 28 pages that Bush hid were released. Now there is direct confirmation that they were involved with the hijackers.

Also there is going to be a grand jury impaneled soon to re look at the event. The original commission was very bogus. That this country is literally in bed with the Saudis after the event should be called treasonous, but .........

dump.

Lloyds is a dirty institution. Would not surprise me at all if they had the goods on the put orders in the days previous to the incident.

@k9disc

that it was planned. Then there's all the people who were told not to go to work that day. And Silverstein who owned the towers took out a huge insurance policy on them. This too would be a great thing for them to release.

BTW. Did you know that some big banks, people and corporations sold their stock in BP 3 weeks before the gulf blowout and that Halliburton bought an oil recovery vessel prior to it? There was ample warning that it was going to blow out and no one did anything to try to stop it from happening. I don't remember the details but there were options to either stop it or to make it less damaging.

Some of the releases were posted. Lots of payout info. Who --> How Much Requested --> How Much Actually Paid ---> By Whom.

It struck me as odd the low amount the lease holder of the towers was paid. Maybe he had multiple policies?

No smoking gun that I could see, but I didn't go to any of the de-encryption sites listed for fear of possible shitware. There was a big build up until folks started posting what was actually released, then kinda 'meh'.

I haven't been on Reddit in about a week, but it was all being posted on r/conspiracy.

@Deja of the towers have more potential liability rather than the lessees?

To be honest, I'm horrible with names. I don't recall the person's name. But in my mind, it was the guy who said, "Pull it" re bldg 7. And it sure seems like there was a shitstorm about how much insurance coverage he had on the buildings at the time.

Silverstein?

I tried finding the easy to read post I first saw it on, but can't. It might have been scrubbed by mods due to *cough* personal information (names?), and links to original documents.

Here's this one, though. It appears to have more than just payouts -- I wasn't on Reddit when layer 2 was released, but I've no time to get into it. Gotta prep for the work week.

@Deja

before I post mine. Building 7 is another smoking gun. A woman news person over seas was talking about it and said that it had collapsed 20 minutes before it did and it was still standing when she said it.

Let's take another look at how it came down shall we?

[video:https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mamvq7LWqRU&feature=youtu.be]

Nope. Nothing fishy about this. Another BTW. The evidence of what happened is in the building material that was sent somewhere overseas before anyone could take a look at it. And one more thing is how long the pile of rubble burned. I doubt that airplane fuel can burn for over a week.

This person is much more thorough than the one I read immediately after the first dump. This person has had more time and has read more. Here's an excerpt in his words:

Huge revelations are made so far, especially the fact that Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PONY) is simultaneously a Plaintiff and a Defendant. This is due to the fact that PONY has a separate insurance policy with Lloyd's of London similar but separate to the policy that Silverstein Properties also has claim to. However, PONY is specifically targeted in the court suit for negligence regarding placement of fuel tanks in Building 7, so Citigroup who was a significant tenant in the building basically sues PONY for over a 1/4 of Billion dollars. This remains to be seen if this is accurate, but they literally describe exactly how the steel near the diesel tanks became the primary failure point causing Building 7 to collapse. Con Edison also has a claim against PONY due to destruction of an underground substation below Building 7.

He also says there's an exhaustive list of "terrorists" even including Saudi princes. [Quite a few of those were recently rounded up, supposedly. I wonder what became of them.] Though, he also mentions that the plantiffs' attorneys discussed the fact that both the FAA and the Saudis were off limits.

There is no justice. There can be no peace.

"This remains to be seen if this is accurate, but they literally describe exactly how the steel near the diesel tanks became the primary failure point causing Building 7 to collapse."

This is controversial. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have gone into this in detail, and have shown how the diesel tanks were not responsible for the collapse. Interestingly, NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the main government investigative body in the building collapses on 9/11) agrees with AE9/11T on this one issue. (As to how building 7 actually collapsed, that's another matter.)

Here is a link to an article at AE9/11T about the particular issue of the collapse of building 7:
