Welcome to the "Cyber War"

foreign this video is brought to you by guardio with special emphasis here on the fact that guardio provides a high quality service in the world of online security scope and scale of this incident are Beyond any that we've confronted as a nation a ransomware attack that shut down a vital fuel Pipeline on the East Coast Colonial pipeline is the operative largest pipeline carrying fuel from the

Gulf Coast to the Northeast what a lot of people don't realize about cyber attacks is it takes months and months and in some cases years to restore your systems cyber security is a challenge for all what if I told you right now today and every day going forward that there was a global cyber War taking place all around us some of you might believe me some

of you may not some of you might actually know about this topic already and others have no idea everyone is coming at this from a different angle or perspective but for those that are blissfully unaware today I want to pull back the veil and showcase the Cyber war that is being waged every single day by millions of people all across the planet it all begins with

the five eyes Australia Canada New Zealand the UK and the United States these five nations unofficially titled the five eyes are core members of a Global Security initiative officially named f-i-o-r-c the five eyes intelligence oversight and review Council this agreement among many other widespread implications solidifies an information transparency initiative with Cooperative action oversight methodology and sharing of results the five eyes working collectively for the protection

of Global Citizens or so they say initially began in World War II as is a loose alliance between UK and U.S code Breakers before America joined the war but today the five eyes have become a nucleus in what can only be described once again as a global cyber war that many of us simply never pay attention to beyond the five eyes which operate as the core

component of a broader Alliance there are the nine eyes this is a sort of extension pact bringing Denmark France Norway and the Netherlands on board totaling nine separate countries with a solidified agreement in place to cooperate on matters of national cyber security but as with any geopolitical hierarchy it doesn't stop there the third and final version of this information pact between nations is called the 14

eyes knowledge of which was originally leaked to the public by Edward Snowden the 14 eyes much like the nine eyes can be viewed as a sort of extension treaty officially titled s-i-g-i-n-t which includes Belgium Italy Germany Spain and Sweden collectively the 14 eyes serving as a larger orbiting structure formed upon the central five eyes can be viewed as the world's largest information security and transparency pact

in existence with a measurable amount of collaboration between members good bad not for me to say but very very significant the five eyes as well as the nine and the 14 are engaged in what can really only be described as an all-out War to protect the Integrity of their systems and infrastructure while infiltrating opposition conducting International operations and pushing the frontier of warfare beyond the scope

sponsor guardio the content they had published was and I do mean this when I say it extremely helpful to me and also proved in my eyes the guardio is very Adept at the services they offer for users operating on Chrome and Droid which a decent chunk of you are we do have the data analytics to back that up the demographic information from YouTube guardio is an

extension that offers threat tracking and online protection a huge amount of our personal information is stored in browsers but Guardia will work proactively to block harmful websites and malicious downloads guardio has also showed me an instance where my data has been breached which believe me I'm now paying much more attention to and just to be thorough online threats are always evolving that much is true there's

no singular method of staying safe all the time online but guardio is an extremely valuable tool to me and one that I am very very happy to recommend if you click the link down below right now you can have a free scan first of all as well as a seven day trial of the service after that it's ten dollars per month but the upper echelon Community

will also receive 20 off again link down below and thank you to guardio for sponsoring the channel focusing on the United States we can begin to Showcase a more complete view of what is actually happening far beyond the standard level of awareness that most people currently enjoy or hold using resources like the tech tactical human intelligence and counter-intelligence operations manual which was Declassified sometime after 2002

as well as the iacs cyber security incident response Playbook created in 2022 we can start to get a much more complete picture the United States contrary to what many might be aware of or believe is engaged in counter-offensive cyber infiltration Ops against nation states hacker organizations and digital threats one example as recent as January of 2023 outlines how the FBI infiltrated the hives Network Hive being

a well-known ransomware group with alleged ties to Russia successfully destroying the organization in what Deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco described as hacking the hackers to learn more about this angle how it's possible and what they do Etc we can also examine the Declassified FBI undercover operations manual which may pertain to this kind of operation every single day there are state-funded groups Sovereign Nations and globally Allied

superpowers competing for dominance in a digital Arena that most of us either do not even know exists or have no influence on state-sponsored cyber terrorism is a very very real thing while the actual list of known apt groups is obviously far longer according to certain agencies and different International Partners even just a rudimentary look behind the curtain can reveal an entire world of conflict just beneath

the surface apts also known as advanced persistent threats are typically sponsored by actual governments Russia Iran China North Korea and more will apply resources and funding to the organization of small squads if you will who are then capable of inflicting tremendous amounts of damage one example to draw from was widely reported in 2022 when Reuters exposed how a group of mercenary hackers had been infiltrating court

cases and law firms in South and Central America hackers for hire had been targeting individual lawyers law practices and even their subsequent clients influencing the outcome of cases after they were hired to go after American Targets in high value litigation battles still another example can be seen where a group of teenagers were arrested in connection with a group known as lapsis also known as dev0537 when

the group began to Target high-profile technology companies like Nvidia Samsung and Ubisoft lapsis became known very quickly for targeting companies in healthcare government energy education telecommunication and media after a successfully breaching Microsoft servers and bragging about the accomplishment thereafter one of the lapsist leaders is believed to have been arrested as a result of business disagreements online where he was subsequently doxed by his partner the 16

year old crime ring leader had amassed a tremendous Bitcoin fortune and failed to stay ahead of law enforcement afterwards but all of this demonstrates one thing very clearly there is a war being waged every single day on a global scale through our digital devices and most of us simply have no idea one of the largest individual examples of cyber War operations ever in human history occurred

in 2020 through a system called Orion later referred to as the solar winds hack the Orion system was used as a distribution mechanism to infect more than 30 000 public and private organizations due to the nature of how the hack initially occurred attackers were able to exponentially increase their overall Target numbers including government agencies and Multinational corporate systems now regarded as the largest of its kind

solar winds in the Orion Network were part of an attack that to this very day we do not know the full extent of I don't know what they got what they saw what they did or why they did it but what I do know is that the Cyber War isn't just active it's accelerating understanding the Cyber War fully requires understanding of complex International treaties government response

tactics and digital infrastructure I'm far from an expert of course but having worked with multiple security sources familiar with the field this is what they explained to me the five eyes collaborating in this exponentially escalating digital war of sorts utilized a system called a stone ghost Stone ghost which is a code name for the network used by the defense intelligence agent C or Dia is an

information exchange Network between 5i countries that has facilities and data centers all over the world but even that has become a digital Battlefield in 2012 a sub lieutenant in the Canadian Royal Navy named Jeffrey DeLisle passed information from the stone ghost network to the Russian military intelligence agency or Gru walking directly into a Russian Embassy in Ottawa he later stated quote it was never really Canadian

stuff there was American stuff there was some British stuff Australian stuff it was everybody's stuff end quote solidifying the reality that while a centralized five-nation Alliance of sorts might have dedicated and secure systems in place they are still anything but actually secure our entire lives take place online obviously not everyone that's not Universal but the reality of modern America and most modern industrialized countries for that

matter is that digital connectivity is NOW essential e-commerce online payment processing record keeping infrastructure hell everything relies on internet functionality in some way or another and the threat of a widespread Cyber attack dealing irreversible damage to one or more of our critical systems is only ever increasing according to the IMF as of spring 2021 the threat of Cyber attack against our horrifyingly unsecured digital Financial system

is growing and even Klaus Schwab chairman of the world economic Forum has specifically discussed the dangers of comprehensive Cyber attack stating that it could the modern world if not prepared for of course current power structures and Leadership will undeniably use such a threat to expand their already overwhelming top-down Authority but the danger of cyber warfare bleeding over into everyday life is absolutely real and absolutely terrifying

also in 2021 there's no end to the number of examples that can be given here a ransomware threat group successfully targeted an extorted critical infrastructure by compromising the colonial pipeline alongside similar attacks that even targeted American Meat Packing facilities where the conduit to disperse fuel oil was ransomed by cyber criminals to be clear this was a successful attack infiltrating critical systems and then ransoming these necessary

systems back to the company who owns them while helpless citizens wait in the background simply hoping that their ability to cook and produce heat gets turned back on is horrifying but that's the world we live in now these are the Battle Tactics taking place on a scale most of us can't even imagine with a frequency we'd rather not acknowledge or admit because the truth is we

are holistically unprepared for what will happen when someone decides to inflict real damage in the background of this video by the way as disclosed in the initial text disclaimer I commissioned an ethical demonstration in an isolated environment of ransomware being deployed against a Target machine this is what it would probably look like if ransomware got into your personal computer modern media overwhelmingly gravitates toward physical conflict

news channels showcase violent crime Middle East instability and other more visceral footage in order to attractive use but in the background a multifaceted war is already being waged by hundreds of individual groups countries and mercenary cohorts with enormous amounts of collateral damage in the process a perfect example to underline such a point came during 2010 when a program called stuxnet believed to be a result of

joint American Israeli operations infiltrated the Iran nuclear program dealing more damage through simple lines of code than almost any dedicated missile strike ever could the program was a country-level cyber weapon deployed against Iran that successfully destroyed the functionality and speed of centrifuge operations while returning false positives to users through diagnostic tools due to how difficult it was to clean infected devices this one digital attack set

back an entire country's nuclear program by years and that was in 2010. imagine what kind of damage can be dealt now it's an objective fact the danger is increasing and yet the primary concerns we hold on a daily basis have almost nothing to do with the most Worthy topics people use the same passwords for everything just purely based on convenience turning them into perfect vulnerabilities in

a corporate structure one compromised email download or website and suddenly an entire company has been turned into a malware distribution or spreading super host capable of becoming far more dangerous than any tank or missile or bomb ever could even dream of yet still most of us remain unconcerned the truth of the matter is this your entire life is already impacted every single day by threat actors

in other parts of the world they just choose to leave you in peace you aren't useful to them so they ignore you but make no mistake there is a war being fought in the digital landscape right now that rages on more intensely than almost any other conflict imaginable but due to the nature of how it gets fought and the tactics involved the public either loses or

never even gains interest to begin with fortunately that lack of Interest May soon be impossible just a couple of weeks ago according to a Creator named null404 chat CPT generated malware successfully claimed an official bug Bounty that may seem innocuous or inconsequential but phrased differently chat GPT created novel and successful malware that was capable of accomplishing a substantial goal for profit making it easier than ever

for people to start producing and using weapons of the Cyber War up till now this Hidden World of cyber warfare was relegated to smaller communities and dedicated participants I would say very dedicated participants but now the floodgates are opening in a way that could terrify or should terrify all of us and bring about greater understanding of security topics with additional precautions taken by any of us

who recognize imminent danger hyperbolic maybe I don't think so but maybe and it's not my intention to sit here and say that the world is coming to an end because it's just not okay we're fine but the Blissful ignorance that I and many others have held for so long is very quickly coming to an end a chilling note to end on is this in 1998 during

senate committee hearings interviewing Loft heavy Industries the following Exchange took place directly um I'm informed that you uh think that within 30 minutes the seven of you could make the internet unusable for the entire nation is that correct that's correct actually one of us with just a few packets whether or not you believe these claims is obviously up to the individual however if true the precarious

state of our digital infrastructure is undeniable this video is titled welcome to the Cyber War because the Cyber war is already here it's just about to get a whole lot more mainstream in the coming weeks months and years maybe during that time I'll have a bunch more videos to make but that's it for today as always thank you all for watching please consider checking out the

links down below to support the channel it would mean a lot and of course make it easier to continue creating content and have a nice night thank you [Music] foreign last thing obviously today there's a new style for the video and that's because I'm working now with an editor there's short form content that will start coming out soon either exclusively on a platform called post or

not depending on if this Equity deal goes through and then there's longer form videos where I'm testing a new workflow which involves commissioning other parties for the production of videos which you can obviously see in effect right now one of those is my editor William who is responsible for today's visuals another goes by the name sick who has consulted with me on a couple prior topics

his social media is linked down below another contact who goes by the name Jean Lupine who has prior experience in the world of cryptography and cyber security with the final thank you going out to Mo who connected the pieces here to make a number of recent projects possible not just this one so big thank you to all of these guys for helping me try everything out

and please do let us know what you think in the comments down below
