Former Russian double agent seriously ill in Salisbury.

Maybe people who only believe what they see with their own eyes and not what the authorities are telling them may want to look at the top 10 port scans on their router. The number one entity trying to scan my network for vulnerabilities can be traced back to St. Petersburg via an IP whois, with many reports from other people that they've been port scanned by the same entity.

Coming in at number two is what appear to be port scans (albeit 50% less than no. 1) originating from Kiev, Ukraine; also with numerous reports from others around the globe. I'm sure someone can shed some light on why this may be the case?

And at number three with 65% less attempted attacks than Russia is some idiot in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Port scanning is not the same as attempted murder by chemical weapons, granted, but at least it tallies up with what our intelligence is saying about Russia being up to no good with regard to cyber warfare and cannot be refuted when you can see it right in front of your face.

Here's the link if you want to catch Russian hackers red handed: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/s...mic-malware-country-manual-ip-blocking.16798/

You'll need a fairly up to date ASUS router and probably custom firmware with scripting enabled to use it.

Those IPs tell you nothing about who is behind it though - a lot of hacking attempts, etc. originating from Russian IPs has been connected to China, stuff that traces back to South America has been shown to originate from Russia and China, etc etc. stuff from Ukraine is often Russian or North Korean.

Stuff like http://map.norsecorp.com/ gives an idea as to the amount going on - a lot of it is state sponsored as well as criminal entities.

A lot is launched from compromised machines, etc. that might be on a completely different part of the globe but then you have NK for instance that sends 3-6 person teams abroad to orchestrate ongoing espionage which can include setting up shop for internet attacks in other countries or physically trying to get people inside big companies where they can gain access to information, etc.

Again, I'm only telling you what I can see with my own eyes happening to my own hardware. Others will simply dismiss that the 3rd party website you linked as fake and admittedly they might tell me that my intrusion detection is unverifiable, but I at least know that attacks on my router originate from Russia more than anywhere else and it is happening on a massive scale judging by the number of reports.

Right. If you want to kill an ex intelligence officer, shoot them. Why the need for polonium and novichok which remains leathal months after the event and is extreamly expensive a time consuming to clean up.

Not just that they have used a chemical weapon twice on British soil its cost us a fortune trying to clean it up the attack was brazen and reckless.

Same reason cartels dont just quietly shoot some reporter, police officer or government official instead of brutally torturing, raping and remembering them before throwing the parts out for public view.

Kinda sad that one of the world's major governments operates on a level of criminal thugs though
 
It does seem to be staggering levels of complacency that has led to such sloppiness from the GRU. I mean they only changed his last name, so Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin became Alexander Yevgenyevich Petrov with the same DOB and same first name for both parents! Then using a block of sequential passport numbers for their agents.

I also see our resident shills are rather quiet, I guess it's a bit difficult to spin this one away even with their incredibly talented mental gymnastic skills.
 
Either way it's career over for those two morons. Russia will never let them leave incase they defect.

This wasn't about sending a message, they were trying to be covert. They ****** up big time and exposed their entire "tourist" ring in the process. There's no way that was intentional.

That's a real shame. They had a bright future ahead of them in the UK as Salisbury Cathedral tourist guides.

Seems that Aleksei Morenets had his car registered to Komsomolsky Prospekt 20 (apparently the address of military unit 26165 of the GRU). Along with 305 other "tourists".

that is the cherry on the cake regarding this whole shambles.... it's done a tremendous amount of damage to GRU. What was supposed to be a covert method of assassination that may well have worked in the past in other countries was completely exposed, the Russian government's lies/propaganda have been exposed too and even their domestic audience isn't buying it.... the initial reporting passing the whole thing off as western lies etc.. might have been OK for a bit but the subsequent exposure and that TV interview have made the Russian state a bit of a laughing stock and even Russian citizens can see though the propaganda.

The expulsion of Russian spies from Western nations was in itself quite damaging for them, this exposure of 300 GRU employees though, that is a pretty significant blow to the service... I suspect the senior ranks were already getting some flack initially after this assassination went wrong, they're going to be in a complete state now... would love to know what morale is like at that place now so many of them are exposed and are essentially about as much use as a flaccid **** now after all their years of training/experience.

If it's not about sending a message why use such a unique poison.

I dont think they intended anyone to know who did it simply he die the investigation finds novicheck its released to the press but with no real evidence other than swab samples and that's it.

Russia's message is out while Russia simply claims its a cover up or a framing by the British

If you're faking your identity it helps to keep your first name the same. You react to it it's hsrd to learn to react to another name.

Also try singing a fake name on the spot. You'll be about 3 letters into your real name before you catch yourself :p
