Bitcoin Exposed: The Secret Behind the FBI's Crypto Hack [Darkside].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone meet kevin here so this is
a little bit more on the serious side
so we have to talk about what happened
with the
cryptocurrency hackback by the fbi and
how it probably went down
we've got some u.s department of justice
documents here and
well i think it's worth going through so
it's pretty interesting
listen into this but i just want to be
very very
clear i was led onto this story
through a third well potential
third party source everything you're
about to hear could be
complete bs or straight up false
but i'm also going to show you some
documents from justice.gov that seem to
corroborate exactly what's going on so
who knows in which case let's get right
into it
so folks you know that cryptocurrencies
have recently dropped and they've
recently dropped
due to the belief that potentially the
fbi was able to just
hack into people's vault wallets their
cryptocurrency wallets
and somehow take their coins back which
gave a lot of concern to wait a minute
this is uh this is a potential
potential problem well folks
listen to this so the story that i heard
and uh huge shout out to the unnamed
person who
uh uh who helped out with this but
anyway
here's the story that we have apparently
the way the fbi was able to get the
crypto coins
back bitcoin back
that were stolen through the colonial
pipeline hack
the fbi did so by seizing computers
involved in the hack and by seizing
computers specifically servers involved
in the hack
any other potential hackers or
co-conspirators that are involved in
these computers
potentially also get taken down but
here's how this might for example work
consider godaddy.com if you go to
godaddy.com you can host a website
but not only can you host a website you
can host a forum
you can host email servers you can host
many different things
so imagine instead of a godaddy you have
a
black hat operation that operates out of
some kind of warehouse somewhere with
multiple servers set up
and they will act as your godaddy for
you think of it kind of like a
dark godaddy well let's assume
a dark godaddy was used for the colonial
pipeline hack
and subsequent bitcoin rehacking russian
forums
are then set up to essentially host a
forum in california in the russian
language
to discuss potential hacks at which
point
some company named darkseid advertises
its
ransomware services hence software as a
service which
you may have heard of before in the
media but anyway software as a
service is essentially well
i mean software that you buy and when
you pay for it
you get the service it's pretty simple
except this time the software is hacking
software
and you are paying for a service
subscription to be able to use
this hacking software and remember
ransomware is something
where all of a sudden you open up your
computer you look and oh
you can't operate until you pay a ransom
so it's not you or your children who are
taking ransom but it's that it's your
computer that's taken ransom
and in order for you to recover your
computer's data you would have to pay
a ransom well anyway now let's say
darkside advertises their ransomware
services on these dark web forms that
are set up
which are of course all now totally
deleted because
well the event is over anyway anyway now
these ransomware services potentially
gain exposure to
hacker groups and a hacker decides you
know what we're going to hire darkseid
and darkseid works with the hacker at
providing a service the hacker installs
the service
by sending a malicious email link or
other to a company hacks into a
company's
servers once you have access to the
network all of a sudden all the internal
ips open up and boom
you can start turning on and off
switches and essentially take
people's computers ransom and this is
where darkseid actually profits about 50
of the revenue of whatever fees are
collected by the hacker
so the hacker gets free software the
hacker just has to be intuitive enough
to plant it somewhere
while the hack software maker
gets a 50 cut then of course after a
successful
hack everybody takes their money or as
much as you can
and close down sha it closes down shop
and operates as a completely
new entity but folks it's important to
remember
that where this software is hosted is
generally a server
and that could be an achilles heel and
in this case
the colonial pipeline attack this is how
the fbi
broke into and subjugated the
hacker's networks to end up taking
the wallet of the hacker now this
is this is just reportedly allegedly
this is just information that was leaked
to me it could be wrong it could be
correct we don't know
but it's worth considering so
in this case you have a very unique
result not only do you end up busting a
criminal
via busting their server who is holding
the private key or
that server which is holding the private
key for stolen bitcoin
but you have now crackdown on servers
and what do servers have not just one
user but many others
so potentially many other users end up
falling victim to
a ransomware counter attack
by default for example consider 2020
gavin navigation paid 10 million dollars
to a ransomware attacker you know
you're just setting up for an attack
like colonial after paying 10 million
dollars to
a hacker that hacks into gavin
navigation but anyway
now you set up a server kind of like a
godaddy you host whatever you need so
you can set up forums and scripts
you try to disguise your russian origin
and in the meantime
you go hack boom boom boom very well
and so folks what kind of documentation
do we have of this
well we've got a little bit the first
thing we've got is a
seizure notice a seizure notice
lets us know well it's essentially a
warrant that lets us know
that somebody's funds are being taken
but we also beyond just a seizure
warrant have a potential conversation
with allegedly somebody in the fbi
let's go ahead and pull it up if i could
just press the correct button there we
go
hello sir how is it going sorry random
question
this colonial pipeline hack ransom
recovery
did they recover btc through subpoena
and exchange
that's the easy way that would be the
stupid way for a hacker to hide
bitcoin but anyway or
did they get access to the server the
server where the wallet was stored
this has been bothering me all day says
the individual here
why has it been bothering you you
weren't involved in the hack
weren't you says this mysterious other
person labeled
they found the wallet server from what i
was told
lol no just media playing it
like they remotely hacked the wallet
even
btc price dropped but that's what i
figured
they hosted wallet remotely and fed
seized the server that way thank you
thank you gifts gifs well
now all of this could be complete bogus
this entire message could be complete
bogus
maybe that's not what happened maybe it
is true
that uh a wallet was directly seized
maybe this is all a clever fbi cover-up
to hit up an influencer and suggest hey
you know tell the story like this who
knows
we won't know but what we do know is
this individual also sent me file
documents
with the justice department but i'm
going to go ahead and hide my phone
because instead what i'm going to do is
i'm going to pull up my computer
and this is where when i literally go to
justice.com
and i mean in theory anyone could have
pulled this up i could pull up
check this out dark side seizure
warrant i'm literally live clicking on
this on justice.gov
see look at that verify my url i kid you
not
go try it click boom seizure warrant wow
powerful warrant to seize property
subject
to forfeiture any authorized any
authorized law enforcement
has the authorization to or rather
through this application by federal law
enforcement officer or attorney for
government
requests that certain property located
in the northern district of california
be seized as subject to forfeiture to
the united states of america
the property described as approximately
63.7 btc
subject funds accessible from
the following cryptocurrency address
subject address xxx
and then excuse me the rest of the
address
i find the affidavit in any recorded
testimony established
probable cause that is the highest
burden of proof standard in law
enforcement to seize your rights
anyway establish probable cause
to seize property folks words mean
things
words have meaning established probable
cause big words
you are commanded to execute this
warrant and seize the property on or
before
june 21st in the daytime hours of 6 a.m
to 10 p.m
unless delayed notice is authorized
below you must also give a copy
of the warrant and receipt for property
taken to the person
from whom or from whose premises the
property was taken
or leave a copy and receipt at the place
it was taken united states magistrate

well folks i have to say
this is a pretty damn interesting server
because it has
two potential meanings one it
potentially means
absolutely nothing it potentially means
it potentially means absolutely
nothing because it's totally fake i have
no idea
i cannot verify or confirm or deny
these alternatively
it could be true it could be true that
the fbi did not secretly hack
into somebody's crypto wallet but
instead they hacked into a server
which hosted the forum for communication
under which darkseid was hired and under
which also the
for some reason crypto wallet with 63.7
bitcoin was stored
i don't know but folks i'll leave it up
to you
let me know what you think in the
comments down below thank you very much
for watching and folks we'll see in the
next one
