Month: April 2019

The website Techcrunch has learned that hackers exploited a breach on several FBI-affiliated websites to acccess files containing the personal information of thousands of federal agents and police officers.

The hackers breached three sites associated with the FBI National Academy Association, a coalition of different chapters across the U.S. promoting federal and law enforcement leadership and training located at the FBI training academy in Quantico, VA. The hackers exploited flaws on at least three of the organization’s chapter websites — which we’re not naming — and downloaded the contents of each web server.

The hackers then put the data up for download on their own website, which we’re also not naming nor linking to given the sensitivity of the data.

The spreadsheets contained about 4,000 unique records after duplicates were removed, including member names, a mix of personal and government email addresses, job titles, phone numbers and their postal addresses. The FBINAA could not be reached for comment outside of business hours. If we hear back, we’ll update.

The motive? Apparently, the hackers are going to try to sell the information.

TechCrunch spoke to one of the hackers, who didn’t identify his or her name, through an encrypted chat late Friday.

“We hacked more than 1,000 sites,” said the hacker. “Now we are structuring all the data, and soon they will be sold. I think something else will publish from the list of hacked government sites.” We asked if the hacker was worried that the files they put up for download would put federal agents and law enforcement at risk. “Probably, yes,” the hacker said.

The hacker says there’s more where that came from.

The hacker claimed to have “over a million data” [sic] on employees across several U.S. federal agencies and public service organizations.

It’s not uncommon for data to be stolen and sold in hacker forums and in marketplaces on the dark web, but the hackers said they would offer the data for free to show that they had something “interesting.”

For those who glorify these cyber thugs as Robin Hoods or heroic whistleblowers, get a load of this:

The hacker — one of more than ten, they said — used public exploits, indicating that many of the websites they hit weren’t up-to-date and had outdated plugins.

In the encrypted chat, the hacker also provided evidence of other breached websites, including a subdomain belonging to manufacturing giant Foxconn. One of the links provided did not need a username or a password but revealed the back-end to a Lotus-based webmail system containing thousands of employee records, including email addresses and phone numbers.

Their end goal: “Experience and money,” the hacker said.

It’s hard to imagine a lower form of pond scum than a hacker who would knowingly put innocent people and their families in danger and do it for money. But that is the mindset of hackers like Julian Assange who didn’t care that he put lives at risk by posting hundreds of thousands of secret documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Assange will eventually pay for his crimes. Will these cyber sleazes pay for theirs?

Man who ‘never felt human’ now lives his life as a dog in £2,000 fur suit https://t.co/xMUvyIKxF1 pic.twitter.com/YJihjKAsZQ

Man who ‘never felt human’ now lives his life as a dog in a fur suit

A ‘human pup’ who says he has never felt like a man eats his meals out of a dog bowl, wears a dog mask and often barks at, licks and bites friends.

Kaz James, 37, claims he’s felt like a dog since childhood and says he always felt ‘weird’ and unable to relate to others before finally allowing his pup persona to shine through in his late teens.

The store manager, from Salford, Greater Manchester, has had help from an online ‘pup play’ community and open-minded friends to transition from part-time pooch to confident canine.

The self-professed ‘full-time orange, brown and camo K9’ unleashes his doggy personality by barking at friends, carrying items with his teeth and snacking on Bonios.

Outside of work he can be found in customized rubber outfits, masks, dog leads, harnesses and even a bespoke £2,000 fur suit.

“I didn’t ever feel like a human, I always felt like a dog that was really out of place,” he said.

“I never really had a name for it, being a pup wasn’t a thing I knew about. When I met other people like me I felt I could be myself.

Ex-Florida mayor who faces attempted murder charges smoked crack nightly for years, court records say https://t.co/RYihHrmCkG
Not first Fl. mayor to use meth and coke, but possibly the first ever to shoot at a SWAT team

Ex-Florida mayor who faces attempted murder charges smoked crack nightly for years, court records say

The mayor of this small coastal city spent years smoking crack cocaine on a nightly basis and used methamphetamine, too, according to court records obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.

Dale Massad paid runners to bring him illegal drugs, the records show, and acted as the personal doctor for his pals, suturing their injuries on his kitchen table — all while he held elected office.

Those records also reveal what launched the investigation that led to Massad’s arrest on Feb. 21 and his subsequent resignation as mayor.

Port Richey City Manager Vincent Lupo and Police Chief Gerard DeCanio reached out to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement last year with reports that Massad was engaged in corruption, drug use and practicing medicine without a license inside his home. Massad had lost his medical license in 1992 over the death of a 3-year-old patient.

Massad, 68, faces charges of practicing medicine without a license and attempted murder — the result of Massad firing his gun toward SWAT deputies as they raided his house during the medical investigation, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

“He’s lucky he’s not dead,” Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco declared at a news conference the day of Massad’s arrest. The sheriff called Massad a violent drug user and said he kept several weapons in his home, hence the use of a SWAT team.

They shot each other while taking turns wearing a bulletproof vest, police say. https://t.co/l4Gr7icRNF

Arkansas men in bulletproof vests shoot each other after night of drinking, invent elaborate cover story: cops

But two Arkansas men could still be in legal jeopardy after a night of drinking led them to test the vests by shooting at each other, officials said.

Charles Eugene Ferris, 50, and Christopher Hicks, 36, were arrested Sunday after Hicks showed up at a Rogers hospital complaining about chest pain.

Not wanting to reveal the true story of the backyard shootout, police said Ferris invented a lively story to explain the situation, KFSM reported.

Ferris allegedly told authorities he’d been paid $200 to protect an “asset,” whom he followed into the woods at Hobbs State Park. Ferris reportedly said that, while in the woods at about 10 p.m., the pair met a third man who approached the “asset” and prompted a gunfight. Cops say Ferris claimed to have been struck six times while returning fire and finally driving away with the “asset.”

Ferris allegedly said the “asset” dropped him off at his vehicle and the 50-year-old then dumped his weapons and drove to the hospital.

But officials say Ferris went from looking like 007 to just looking like a zero when his wife showed up at the hospital and spilled the beans: Ferris and Hicks shot each other while drinking on the back porch of their home.

Cops: Duo Gave Strikers Cookies Spiked With Laxative Because Picket Line Was Too Noisy

Angered by the noise coming from a union picket line across frome their home, an Ohio couple allegedly made sugar cookies spiked with a laxative and gave the baked goods to striking school employees, police allege.

According to investigators, Bo Cosens, 29, and Rachel Sharrock, 25, are both facing a felony contamination charge. Seen above, Cosens and Sharrock are each locked up in lieu of $1 million bond.

The couple lives on the same street where workers have been protesting since going on strike in late-March. Picketers on the line outside the Claymont Primary School in Uhrichsville are often saluted by passing motorists with a honk of a horn.

That repetitive noise, cops say, prompted Cosens and Sharrock to target the workers.

Man Admits Ghost Did Not Plant Meth In His Home, Court Records Show

A man who surmised that a ghost may have planted methamphetamine in his Louisiana home eventually admitted that he, and not an otherworldly force, was responsible for the drug being in his residence court records show.

Michael Auttonberry, 60, was arrested in October after police arrived at his home in response to a purported assault. Auttonberry, cops say, had called 911 to claim that he had been “stabbed on the head by an axe.”

When officers arrived at Auttonberry’s West Monroe home, they determined that he was not suffering from any axe wounds (and there were no assailants in sight). Cops did, however, spot “in plain view on a night stand a open brown paper containing approximately 1 gram of suspected methamphetamine,” according to a probable cause affidavit. A subsequent pat down of Auttonberry yielded a pill bottle containing an additional gram of meth.

Quizzed by cops, Auttonberry said that “a ghost or intruders” planted the drugs before climbing out a bedroom window. This claim, investigators determined, “was not accurate.”

Major U.S. hotels book depravity convention for pervy sickos

If you have plans to visit any of the major hotel chains in this Midwestern U.S. city, you should know how that room and… https://t.co/4hDDDg5sFQ

Convention at major U.S. hotels showcases extreme sexual depravity

If you had plans to take your kids to downtown Cleveland over the weekend of April 25-28, don’t – unless you want them to receive a quick and nightmarish tutorial about where the “LGBTQ” agenda really takes America: into a filthy sewer.

That weekend, major Cleveland hotels will host CLAW, the Cleveland Annual Leather Weekend

It’s a large orgy of homosexual males focused on “sado-masochism” and “bondage.” Think ropes, chains, erotic asphyxiation, suspension by hooks, cutting, etc. Or maybe don’t think about them, since these are usually considered reckless, stupid activities involving major risks of injury and disease, committed by severely emotionally disturbed people.

Unless of course you identify as “LGBTQ.” Then you get respect and can demand whatever you want in “public accommodations” even if it’s crazy, disgusting or a public health nightmare.

Which is why there’s a petition to Cleveland officials to stop this outrage.

If you have an interest in the Westin that weekend, it’s apparently “full.” Think about that: Packed with deviant males who will be doing who knows what in their rooms.

Sorry to offend, but it’s important to understand what is going on here: the public sharing of bodily fluids of promiscuous people who also regularly engage in anatomically invasive sex practices. So in the meeting rooms of the Westin, Hampton Inn, Cleveland Marriott, etc., there will be activities and “workshops” (a.k.a., orgies) involving blood, feces, urine, semen and – when people realize what they are doing – possibly vomit.

Several days later, you might be attending a corporate luncheon in the same room – and the Cleveland Department of Health is apparently okay with this.

You just can’t make stuff like this up

In yet another outrage that is further evidence that America is stuck in the middle of a socialist sandwich between New York and California, Empire State Democrats have voted to express their contempt toward those who have sacrificed all to serve their country.

This week, Democrats in the state assembly spitefully rejected a bill that would have provided FREE college tuition assistance to the children of U.S. veterans and then gleefully spiked the ball by allowing for millions of dollars in educational assistance to be given to illegal aliens.

Not that it should come as any great shock to those who understand the nature of these America-hating swine but it is an outrage nonetheless.

Democrats just rejected tuition assistance for Gold Star families but approved it for illegal immigrants. Would these Democrats dare to look into the eyes of the children of fallen servicemen and women and say they matter less than those here illegally? https://t.co/813LozC9hJ

Via Syracuse.com, “NY Assembly blocks free college tuition for more Gold Star families”:

New York lawmakers on Tuesday refused to advance a bill that would have provided free college tuition to the families of all military personnel from the state who were killed in the line of duty.

The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 to hold the bipartisan bill, effectively ending its chances of making it to a floor vote this session.

The move comes a week after lawmakers passed a $175 billion state budget that included $27 million to provide college tuition aid for undocumented immigrants.

Some Central New York lawmakers said it was outrageous to block a bill that would likely cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to help children of military members who died for their county.

“It’s disgraceful,” said Assemblyman Gary Finch, R-Springport. “Soldiers who lay down their lives and make the ultimate sacrifice represent the best of us. The children they love so dearly deserve access to the opportunity and promise that is the hallmark of this country. I can’t imagine what’s in your heart when you vote ‘no’ on a bill like this.”

It is just the latest travesty thanks to embittered Democrats who STILL can’t get over losing the 2016 election.

It was only a matter of months ago when the state went all in for infanticide when a beaming Governor Cuomo put his signature on an abortion bill that would make even the Nazis proud and then to celebrate, had the spire of the new World Trade Center lit up in pink as his state took the lead in baby killing.

Cuomo says One World Trade Center’s 408-foot spire, the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, the Kosciuszko Bridge and the Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany will be lit in pink tonight to celebrate passage of Reproductive Health Act https://t.co/TmDEmj18Vy pic.twitter.com/XYdgxPNaoC

— Joseph Spector (@GannettAlbany) January 23, 2019

The irony shouldn’t be lost that the children of the veterans who bravely went to Iraq, Afghanistan and other foreign countries to keep Americans safe from the bastards who brought down the original World Trade Center were just screwed over by Cuomo’s buddies in the state government.

These pigfuckers have no shame.

Jimmy Kimmel is somehow considered a moral barometer on late-night television, which seems funny because, well, I’ve seen his show.

He’s used 5th graders to make political points. His reaction to the rumor that President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner was being considered to take over the role of White House chief of staff was that “I guess the thinking is, if he’s good enough to screw my daughter, he’s good enough to screw the country.” He tried to make homophobic jokes about Sean Hannity engaging in grotesque sex acts on the president, and later issued an apology saying he would “give more thought and recognize my role in inciting hatefulness” without actually apologizing to Hannity.

Apparently, you can cry a few times on TV about the right things and you can pretty much get away with whatever you want. That was on display earlier this week, when Kimmel’s disagreement with the administration’s immigration policies led him to suggest that it might be time to put the president’s kids in cages.

The monologue routine came after the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who oversaw the controversial policy of separating children from families who brought their children illegally over the border. You know, as per the Flores settlement, which mandated that children could only be kept in detention with their families for a period of 20 days.

So, time for an inappropriate joke involving an alleged child molester!

TRENDING: Bombshell: Now We Know the Exact Lie Google CEO Told Congress, and It’s Terrifying for Conservatives: Opinion

“At this point,” Kimmel began, “Donald Trump has taken more kids away from their parents than Michael Jackson.”

That drew a sound resembling something between astonishment and a boo, which meant Kimmel quickly ushered the audience toward Trump’s own words regarding the policy.

“I’m the one that stopped it. President Obama had child separation,” the president said. “I’ll tell you something: Once you don’t have it, that’s why you see many more people coming. They’re coming like it’s a picnic, because ‘Let’s go to Disneyland.’”

“A laugh a minute,” said the late-night host that just compared Trump to a pop star who supposedly groomed children for his own untoward purposes. But I digress. Continue, lachrymose moralizer!

“Just to recap: Obama did the separations, and they were a good thing, but you stopped it. That makes sense,” Kimmel said.

“You know, if Trump really wants to put kids in cages, he should start with Eric and Donald Junior, just to see how it goes.”

That got cheers, because, you know, this is the left’s moral compass nowadays.

Just to be clear: Kids aren’t in cages. Whether kids were ever really in cages for an extended period of time is a matter of controversy, but the genesis of this whole line of thought — a 2014 photo in which children who had crossed the border illegal were kept for processing and kept in holding pens made out of chain-link fencing — was wholly an Obama thing, though it went viral on social media as being the result of the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration.

RELATED: Johnny Carson Teaches Modern Late Night Hosts a Lesson About Getting Political

Kimmel’s line of thinking is this: He acknowledges “children in cages” was an Obama thing, Trump says he likes it (this is pretty much the exact opposite of what the president said, but OK), which means we should put Trump’s adult children in the cages.

At least he didn’t say Barron, but that’s really the extent of what we can give Kimmel credit for.

This is what counts as “tolerance” in 2019. Kimmel acknowledges that family separation happened under Obama, attributes it to Trump and then makes a bunch of tasteless jokes about it. If only he had cried, we’d have had the full Jimmy Kimmel experience. Come on, Jimmy — give those tear ducts a workout.

I never thought I would care about the personal life of Aunt Becky from “Full House” or her influencer daughter. I also never thought I would be living in a time when “influencer” could be an actual profession, but here we are: Actress Lori Loughlin is currently one of the most famous high net-worth individuals who bribed to get their children into an elite college when they had no business being there.

In this case, the child is YouTube shill Olivia Jade, who’s apparently furious that her mother ruined her lucrative career of advertising beauty products on social media. More’s the pity.

As we follow the exploits of Loughlin and other rich people who manipulated test scores and managed to pass their progeny off as rowers or curlers or whatever minor sports they played, let’s not forget that there’s almost always some way to connect any scandal to the Clintons.

Really, it’s like magic. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they managed to find a link between the Clintons and the Chicago Black Sox scandal.

No, Hillary and Bill didn’t pass Chelsea Clinton off as a top recruit in water polo to get her into Stanford back in the day, considering the fact that first children tend to be able to go to whatever university they please. But, according to the Washington Examiner, the former president did try to use his influence to advance Chelsea’s then-boyfriend into the final selection round for a prestigious scholarship.

TRENDING: Bombshell: Now We Know the Exact Lie Google CEO Told Congress, and It’s Terrifying for Conservatives: Opinion

“Trina Vargo, a veteran U.S. adviser on Ireland, founded the George J. Mitchell Scholarship in 2000. It was named after the former senator who brokered the talks that led to the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement,” Alana Goodman reported on Thursday.

“Vargo said that Bill Clinton intervened in the first year of the scholarship, when Kane, whose 3.19 grade-point average was much weaker than those of the top candidates, had failed to make the final selection round.”

“President Clinton, who was in his last weeks in the White House, called Mitchell to express his displeasure, according to Vargo in her new book ‘Shenanigans: The U.S.-Ireland Relationship in Uncertain Times.’ He had submitted a letter of recommendation for Kane, who had already landed an internship in the Clinton White House during his relationship with Chelsea.”

Vargo, also a key foreign policy adviser in the Obama administration, said she saw Clinton’s call as an obvious attempt to use the prestige of the office to try to game the system.

“There’s no way to see that as anything other than an attempt to influence a situation that hadn’t been finalized yet,” Vargo told the Examiner.

“In light of the college admissions scandal, I don’t think it’s very unusual for people who have money or influence to use what means they have, whether it’s for their children or friends.

“If he had called George Mitchell after we had selected the twelve finalists just to say that the organization doesn’t know what they’re doing because they didn’t pick him, that would be fine from my perspective,” she said. “The timing … it was meant to influence decisions.”

According to Vargo, Mitchell was uncomfortable with the pressure allegedly being exerted by the outgoing president.

“It was with some uneasiness that he rang me to say that President Clinton had just been onto him and he was very unhappy that the boyfriend of his daughter Chelsea was not among the 20 finalists for a Mitchell Scholarship,” she wrote in her book.

“Mitchell made it clear that he was not asking me to do anything; he just wanted to understand the background and asked what he should say to the president.”

Vargo also described running into Hillary Clinton a month after Kane wasn’t shortlisted during a reception at a reception held by our then-ambassador to Ireland.

“It was immediately clear to me that she knew I was the person she viewed as responsible for Chelsea’s boyfriend not getting the scholarship,” Vargo wrote.

“For those few seconds, her eyes closed to a slit, the way they do when one is unhappy and sizing up a person.”

Again, no money changed hands here and we can safely say that the pressure exerted didn’t seem to make any difference. However, it allegedly happened and was clearly out of order if it did.

Not surprisingly, the Clintons deny it. Bill Clinton’s press secretary, Angel Urena, called the allegations “baseless and patently false.”

Again, this is all alleged, but it’s also worth noting that the book came out just before the admissions scandals started breaking, and almost nobody in the establishment media picked up on the story. I’ll admit that books about the United States’ relationship with Ireland aren’t necessarily the most interesting reads in the world, but surely someone somewhere managed to hear that this little tidbit was tucked away and might be timely given the admissions scandal.

Instead, what we got was this report in the Examiner and pretty much nothing. Nobody decided to even pick up on it after the Examiner reported the alleged phone call, even though they can’t get enough of John Stamos’ on-screen wife getting her YouTube-influencer daughter into USC.

You would think the implications of a former president trying to interfere in a prestigious scholarship on behalf of his daughter’s boyfriend would be of interest to more Americans than the alleged transgressions of Aunt Becky. Apparently not.

Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed the controversial “Red Flag” gun bill into law on Friday and several county sheriffs have indicated they won’t enforce it. Some are even willing to go to jail for their beliefs.

CNN:

Known as the “Extreme Risk Protection Order,” the law will allow a family member, a roommate or law enforcement to petition a judge to temporarily seize a person’s firearms if they are deemed a risk to themselves or others. Fourteen other states have passed similar legislation.

Still, the law now faces major hurdles, with a pro-gun lobby group promising to challenge it in court. Additionally, a growing number of sheriffs in the state have vowed to ignore the law when it takes effect next year, calling it unconstitutional.

That will be up to the courts. But just because a law is declared “constitutional” doesn’t make it right. And several sheriffs are prepared to be held in contempt of court rather than enforce what they see as an attack on the Second Amendment:

At least 10 other sheriffs contacted by CNN are lining up behind Reams, saying they are prepared to go to jail rather than enforce a law they believe would violate a person’s constitutional rights.

“How many judges are going to send all the sheriffs in Colorado who are standing up to this to jail?” wondered Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, who is among the sheriffs willing to choose jail over enforcement.

Garnett said he wasn’t concerned about sheriffs being locked up.

“What I’m going to lose sleep over is, if that’s the choice that they make, and someone loses their life, someone in crisis goes on a shooting spree, (or) someone commits suicide” because a gun wasn’t taken away, he said.

Will it really save lives? What we’ve seen in recent years is that if a crazy person wants to go on a shooting spree, they will find a way to get a gun. Meanwhile, guns will be seized from innocent people who may or may not be a threat to themselves or others.
