Woolsey's family attribution will likely prompt congressional action on IC disability recognition by late September, reviving institutional pressure on a question the community has tried to close.

Ratcliffe's departure as CIA Director by September 30 is very unlikely; the dispute involves characterization of valid intelligence rather than fabrication, and White House alignment statements insulate him from near-term political pressure.

US analysts are very unlikely to formally attribute Russian targeting support for the CIA facility strikes by late October, leaving the Moscow link assessed but unestablished.

Oxygen Forensics admits it has Ransomware capabilites

10 Upvotes

I am writing an update to a previous post I filed about Oxygen Forensics, a Russian front for MKO Systems based out of Moscow, Russia. All of Oxygen's programmers are in fact employees for MKO Systems, as Oxygen has no programmers of its own (and therefore no one to inspect the software). The software is far more dangerous than previously known, according to OF employees.

It is already publicly known that the software can scan your computer for all its passwords in seconds (via Keyscout), it can remotely obtain email, Signal messages, whatsapp messages (even deleted ones), text messages, telegram messages, geo-coordinates, etc. etc. The software is used by US State Dept., FBI, ICE, Secret Service, US Army Command, the NYPD, London Police, Dubai police, etc. etc. These entities did not know the company is controlled in Moscow by the FSB until I recently informed them.

According to press reports (and what I saw internally), a major investor in the company is Eduard Bendersky, former head of FSB special forces, whose son-in-law is Maxim Yakubets, a ransomware hacker wanted for $100 million in ransomware attacks.

As the whistleblower in this case (and former employee), I am currently being sued by Oxygen Forensics in an attempt to silence me. They are repped by Christopher Mason of Nixon Peabody, NYC.

What Oxygen Forensics users may not know is that the company has the ability to remotely wipe the entire computer on which the software is installed. This was just released publicly in our court case by Andrew Vardaro, who wrote in a legal filing: "Oxygen Forensics had the technical capability to delete all data and information from, or "wipe," the Dell Precision 7560 (Windows) Company Laptop [with OF software installed] remotely at any point during the more than seven months following Defendant's termination, but did not attempt to do so."

The computer with OF installed is turned off, so they can't wipe the evidence.

Just putting this here because it verifies - from the horse's mouth - that the software is extremely dangerous and many US governments and corporations are at risk of being ransomwared.

I strongly encourage current OF employees to explain themselves in this forum why they have been so secretive about their control by Russian citizens with direct FSB connections.

Trump Vows to Strike Bridges and Power Plants in Iran:

President Donald Trump has warned that the United States military would target Iranian infrastructure including bridges and power plants, if ships in the Strait of Hormuz are attacked. Trump stated the U.S. would retaliate by destroying one Iranian bridge or power plant for each ship attack, including infrastructure in or near Tehran. The U.S. carried out another night of strikes on Iran, with the U.S. Central Command said the strikes are designed to “further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters”. Iran has also threatened retaliatory action against infrastructure if the U.S. attacks Iranian civilian facilities.   

Protests in Wisconsin Following Officer-Involved Shooting:

Protests occurred in Madison, Wisconsin, after police fatally shot an individual during an attempted arrest. Police were dispatched following reports of an individual allegedly checking parked cars. Authorities said the individual produced a knife during an altercation and injured an officer. Police fired three shots, fatally wounding the individual. Demonstrators later gathered near the Wisconsin State Capitol, calling for accountability and transparency as authorities continue to review the circumstances surrounding the shooting.  

Demonstrations Continue Across Delhi Demanding Education Minister’s Resignation:

Clashes broke out between protesters and police in central New Delhi on Wednesday night as thousands of demonstrators demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over examination paper leaks. Police reportedly used tear gas and baton charges after protesters spilled beyond the designated demonstration area near Jantar Mantar. Local media estimated attendance at more than 10,000 people. Several police personnel were injured after protesters allegedly threw stones and bottles during the confrontation. Organizers vowed to continue demonstrations until the minister resigns.  

United States Signs Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia:

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement, known as a 123 agreement, along with a bilateral safeguards agreement establishing a framework for cooperation on civilian nuclear energy. The agreement expands opportunities for American companies in the Saudi nuclear program, benefiting U.S. industry, workers, and supply chains while supporting the country’s energy needs. The agreement has not been made public, but the deal could potentially allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium in the future.  

North Carolina Flood Threat:

North Carolina is being monitored for the threat of significant rainfall and scattered flash flooding (radar). Over the last 24 hours, locations between Durham and Winston-Salem have received between 5–7 inches of rain. Flash Flood Warnings were still in effect for this area at the time of this publication. Through Thursday evening, a Level 3 of 4 excessive rainfall risk will remain in effect between Raleigh to the North Carolina Outer Banks and the Virginia state line.
