DOJ Court Filing System Hack Likely Targeted Confidential Informant Data From EDNY
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Ah, so THAT happened.
I was wondering what possible avenues it would take for Adam Guerbuez posing as a confidential informant to produce plausible court docs with clear errors on them, then stumbled upon this possible linkage.
In addition to the public accessible PACER files, the hackers breached into the case filing management system, the one when electronic documents can be filed, including under seal meant to protect government informants. This from TechCrunch quoting NYTimes.
The probing of those surnames is a possible misdirection, meaning only one or a couple of the internally known targeted searches matters. The DOJ isn’t going to be forthright on what EDNY confidential informant’s under sealed work was pulled, which leaves the public speculating over whom that might be—despite the Russians getting ‘partial’ blame in the press over this. We’ll instead simply look at the efforts of hacker Adam Guerbuez presently posing as an EDNY confidential informant upset now that the government’s witness did not have his name published when sentenced earlier this week—doing so under a fake Microchip alias some have bought into.
Let’s be clear.
If Adam Guerbuez really wanted to have his identity known, and he was actually the original Microchip assisting the Federal government in multiple ongoing prosecutions, he could/would have done so in spectacular fashion.
Instead, he put out a tweet with a name on it that isn’t his name, griping how unfair everything is that the DOJ wouldn’t call him by his preferred pronouns—save he didn’t even choose to go “there” as the real Micro would have.
I mean, really?
Adam Guerbuez is ‘Microchip’ just not the one testifying against Adam’s colleagues and co-conspirators. We technically don’t know who that real Microchip is, what cases he helped establish, who else has been indicted and pled guilty under seal and has yet to be sentenced. We don’t actually know if Microchip has indeed been sentenced, only hearing that from a less-than-reputable website, Adam Guerbuez and Douglas Mackey.
Who might know the answers to all of that would be whomever hacked into the DOJ’s systems, left evidence showing which files were accessed that both suggests who they were along with what motivated the hack.
Why was Russia blamed to be partially responsible?
That simply means that the DOJ has reason to believe based on the case files illegally accessed in the New York legal system where the EDNY & SDNY jurisdictions, those responsible made it appear to look like they were searching for Russian-cases, essentially a false flag needing to be ruled out.
Smart, but REALLY, really, really dumb.
