Hackers — Beware
Cross post from — https://blog.alightservices.com/2022/02/hackers-beware.html
Hackers do hacking with various intentions. Here in this case, state trained and state-sponsored Indian R&AW (spying organization) are the hackers. They have some kind of advanced spying equipment. And they usually are within the vicinity. Several times while installing various software and before I login using the default credentials, these people log in and impersonate. These people have formed some kind of a chat group and some youtube channel. I don’t know the chat group or the Youtube channel. They assume their Youtube channel of impersonation is their proof, but in reality, their Youtube channel is a proof of targeted identity theft, harassment and hacking. Hacking can pretty much be thought of as illegal usage of any computing device. For example, logging into servers that don’t belong to them or logging into web accounts that don’t belong to them. The Linux servers have all the required monitoring. This morning I was playing around with a Project Management Tool known as OpenProject available at https://www.openproject.org/ After installation, by following the steps provided in: https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/installation/packaged/#ubuntu-installation, the default credentials are admin/admin. That’s when I noticed unusual activity, no data loss but illegal misuse of surveillance equipment for targeted hacking, impersonation, identity theft and harassment. There was no breach of any data, immediately the instance was terminated. The equipment is some kind of a group of invisible micro-drones capable of viewing, recording video and audio, screenshotting, whispering and even mind reading. The hackers need to be controlled or the people who are misusing surveillance equipment for personal agenda and malicious reasons need to be arrested. I.T software should evolve much more to protect servers, applications from such misuse of surveillance equipment. I don’t if the advanced surveillance equipment was manufactured overseas or not. But the misuse is definitely being done by some rogue R&AW agents for personal reasons and with malicious intentions.
