Marriott International said early Friday that data on roughly 500 million customers staying at Starwood hotel properties had been compromised in a breach that gave unknown attackers access to the Starwood network since 2014. The company said it has not finished identifying duplicate information in the database, but believes it contains information on up to approximately 500 million guests who made a reservation at a Starwood property. The hotel giant said that on September 8, 2018, it received an alert from an internal security tool regarding an attempt to access the Starwood guest reservation database. The company said it “quickly...

The Dominion Voting Systems, which has been used in multiple states where fraud has been alleged in the 2020 U.S. Election, was rejected three times by data communications experts from the Texas Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office for failing to meet basic security standards. Unlike Texas, other states certified the use of the system, including Pennsylvania, where voter fraud has been alleged on multiple counts this week. Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company headquartered in Denver, is one of three companies primarily used in U.S. elections. The others are Election Systems and Software and Texas based-Hart InterCivic. snip.....The...

Sky News host Paul Murray says there has been another software glitch found in the US where 2,500 votes in Michigan had been moved in favour of Joe Biden. “Perhaps the most interesting little glitch of the system thus far, is that there is some software that has been used in 30 different states, this is software that had 6,000 votes go from trump, glitch, Biden, identify the glitch, back to Trump.

Take it with a grain of salt, but if this is true, then all of Wayne County votes should be invalidated.

Complete title: THE REAL WHISTLEBLOWER STORY: DENNIS MONTGOMERY, THE HAMMER, THE HARD DRIVES, THE WIRETAPPING OF TRUMP, AND THE PROSECUTION OF GENERAL FLYNN By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | September 27, 2019 This is somewhat dated, however, it ties into what was used against President Trump and especially General Flynn. I thought it deserved another post if it had been posted before. The assault on President Trump by a partisan CIA operative and whistleblower who was placed in the White House to spy on the President is unparalleled in American history. While obstructionists roll out their latest hoax, the...

s Donald Trump refuses to concede the election, some of his most loyal allies have become obsessed with a bizarre new conspiracy theory about the race, insisting that Trump only lost the election because a deep-state supercomputer named “Hammer” and a computer program named “Scorecard” were used to change the ballot count. The head of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has called the claim about supercomputer election fraud “nonsense,” and urged Americans not to promote it. But the mythical supercomputer claim has been embraced by prominent Trump backers, including former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, former NYPD Commissioner Bernie...

Earlier this week, the bitcoin community was shocked when a digital wallet containing roughly $1 billion in bitcoin...was emptied by an unknown individual. The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it had seized the wallet’s contents as part of a civil forfeiture case targeting the Silk Road. The government said it retrieved the roughly 70,000 bitcoins with the help of an unnamed hacker, whose identity is known to the government but who is simply referred to as “Individual X” in court documents. “Individual X” allegedly hacked the Silk Road’s payments system some time in 2012 or 2013.

PLEASE NOTE. THIS IS A RESEARCH THREAD. I NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK TO PROVIDE AS MUCH EVIDENCE, HARD EVIDENCE, AS POSSIBLE. I WILL MONITOR THIS THREAD AND COMPILE ALL CONTRIBUTIONS TO A NEW AND REFINED THREAD. I HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BY TONIGHT. I NEED YOUR HELP!This election has been stolen. Pure and simple. Now we must show the world, before December 13th when the Electors are appointed, and before the Special Elections occur for various runoffs that will happen (for example, in Georgia, for the Senate seats, on January 5th.

A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did. It was an assurance designed to bolster public confidence in the way America votes: Voting machines “are not connected to the internet.” Then Acting Undersecretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security Jeanette Manfra said those words in 2017, testifying before Congress while she was responsible for the security of the nation’s voting system. So many government officials like Manfra have said the same thing over the last few years...

CIA-developed software to steal votes by intercepting voting machines and switching Trump votes to Biden votes. ... a software "glitch" in Michigan had switched 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden. The glitch was discovered when an effort was made to manually review the ballots, revealing that thousands of votes were switched by the software. ... 47 other counties in Michigan were using the same software. This means the Michigan vote was stolen from Trump, and we are actually being subjected to a cyber warfare assault on America. The same vote rigging software is used in every swing state ... The...

ORIGINAL: The Michigan State Republican Party on Friday revealed that a software glitch caused 6,000 Republican ballots to be counted toward Democrat's totals. The issue was eventually corrected when officials in Antrim County hand-counted the ballots, which caused their county to flip to President Donald Trump. According to the Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman, 48 of the state's 83 counties use the same software from Dominion Voting Systems. There are now issues arising in Georgia in Spalding and Morgan Counties after it was revealed that a software update Monday night caused voting machines to crash on Election Day. Spalding County Board...

After reading about the CIA developed hacking programs, Scoreboard and Hammer I decided to take a chance and contact Yaacov Apelbaum (Apelbaum.wordpress.com). Mr. Apelbaum is a Cyber Security Specialist whose work has been referenced on Free Republic a number of times. An evaluation of the Hunter Biden computer is the most recent. I was pleasantly surprised this lowly computer neophyte received a prompt response. Omitting the pleasantries, the conversation went as follows: Question: “Do you plan to do any analysis of the election results? Given the chatter, re; Hammer and Scoreboard it is desperately needed. Please, Please, Please!” Response: The...

… on Monday the eccentric millionaire was arrested – this time for real – in Spain, where he is awaiting extradition to the US after he was charged with tax evasion by federal prosecutors who allege McAfee hid cryptocurrency, a yacht, and real estate as part of a conspiracy to evade taxes, which he forgot to pay from 2014 to 2018. At the same time the SEC also charged the former programmer for promoting investments in initial coin offerings (ICOs) to his Twitter followers without disclosing that he was paid to do so. McAfee’s bodyguard, Jimmy Watson, Jr., was also...

Law enforcement agencies across the country reported brief outages of their 911 systems Monday night, and it was not immediately clear if there was a connection with a major Microsoft system outage. Law enforcement agencies around the country, from Nevada to Pennsylvania and Arizona to Minnesota, tweeted that their 911 systems were down beginning sometime after 7 p.m. ET. Multiple reports indicated outages throughout Delaware and Ohio as well. By 8:15 p.m., many of those departments reported that their services had come back online. Others were still recommending that people call local department numbers instead of the emergency line. The...
