„but the way i see it is really more that section 230 just in general grants immunity to these tech companies making
them just more difficult to sue, more difficult to attack
and really what this is all about in my mind is maybe not so much about section 230 but about the first amendment the
right to free speech because everybody should be able to speak their mind to say something and not have a tech company come censor them, especially when the social media platform that people are using has now risen to the level of kind of like a public square for debate.“
„but it enables and allows for private companies to censor you and so ironically the first amendment actually protects the rights of the social media tech giants to censor you
because they’re considered private entities and so they have no legal obligation to enable free speech as they would if they were say some government entity now to complicate all of this a lot of these social media platforms they like to just remove hate speech you know hate speech is not necessarily
illegal people have a right to do it but generally social media platforms they just want a more friendly place they
want it to be advertiser friendly they don’t want bullying and so there’s kind of this gray zone too where there may be some things that someone wants to say that’s not entirely illegal it’s not defamatory it’s not sex trafficking related but at the same time it could be kind of like cyber bullying which isn’t illegal but it’s not really a great thing to have on these social media platforms either and so the question becomes where do you draw that line on what’s allowed and not
allowed and who gets to draw that line so if you’re to ask me for example let’s take a look at donald trump on twitter he tweets something and then twitter comes and says well that’s not allowed if you were to ask me i would say that even though twitter may not enjoy the things that trump is saying in a way all of the followers and the people that trump has
accumulated to listen to him they’re his followers right even though they’re on the platform twitter they don’t really belong to twitter i would say that the followers belong to
donald trump he’s the influencer who gathered those followers and in a way you could imagine twitter as a social media network but at the same time each person on twitter also encompasses their own micro social media network so the example i like to think about is let’s imagine we have a
radio and there’s a bunch of different radio channels and some radio channels can be very conservative some can be very liberal some is just going to have a bunch of trash gossip some could be a bunch of fake news but the radio platform that device itself is not determining what you can or cannot
say it’s simply facilitating that communication is the technology underlining it and so when i take a look at twitter.“
„i know that there are some people who may disagree with me and say well if you don’t like twitter you don’t have to use
it it’s their platform their rules they can do whatever they want on there but you have to remember that technology
has altered our society in a very fundamental way and as our
lives have shifted online into the digital space, so too have our lives shifted into the domain of these private tech companies where the constitution and public government can no longer protect us the first amendment and the right to
protect free speech does not apply to tech companies
and the only way to get that to apply to our digital lives is to imagine if somehow the government were to invent the next facebook or twitter which it’s not going to do
and yet the intent behind that to protect free speech
should probably still be applied into our digital lives
and..“
„it may just be that some of these social media networks they just could have too much power too much influential power
too much propaganda power in a world where people do not think but only read about headlines and if that’s the situation we live in then maybe these social media companies
should just be shut down as mass weapons of misinformation and propaganda machines that cannot be properly controlled we just don’t have the tools for that yet because it’s true that you know like facebook has been used in countries like
myanmar for genocide and we could just be in
this scenario it could just be like the digital equivalent of building the atomic bomb when you’re able to
mass brainwash huge hordes of people maybe some things just shouldn’t be built out there until we’re really sure that we know how to control it in either case this is an
area information control and censorship that definitely needs more reform and more thinking about otherwise the future of our country is really going to fall into the hands of just fall into the hands of just the ceos of these tech companies.“

Attackers Fight for Control of Sites Targeted in File Manager Vulnerability
„Attackers Fight for Control of Sites Targeted in File Manager Vulnerability“
Conspiracy Revelation: 28.9.2020: Wordfence caused a long time a WSOD on my page…not sure if it was a counterdefense mechanism of these notorious russian cleptocratic cyberhack spambot mafiosis, that dominate the Internet for the last 25 years with their viral loads… I will check that soon…I surely would have used wordfence if it didn´t lose compatibility aka WSOD which made it impossible for me to use it at a certain point in time with this webpage.
These ico exploits are very old and typical russian cyber mafiosi method. At least 20 years old, also for Windows Systems.
Update: I installed Wordfence now, it works again, the white screen of death was likely caused by these russian cyber mafiosis as a Malware Persistence Factor, so that their exploit could survive longer, that is a good indicator that the page is finally really cleansed from this filth.

Last week, we covered a vulnerability in the File Manager plugin installed on over 700,000 WordPress sites. By Friday, September 4, 2020, we recorded attacks on over 1.7 million sites, and by today, September 10, 2020 the total number of sites attacked has increased to over 2.6 million. We’ve seen evidence of multiple threat actors taking part in these attacks, including minor efforts by the threat actor previously responsible for attacking millions of sites, but two attackers have been the most successful in exploiting vulnerable sites, and at this time, both attackers are password protecting vulnerable copies of the connector.minimal.php file.
An early bird stealing passwords
Our site cleaning team has found numerous indicators that the most active of these attacks are the work of a Moroccan threat actor known as “bajatax” which has historically stolen credentials from PrestaShop sites. These indicators include simple files containing only the string “bajatax” as well as modifications to the original vulnerable connector.minimal.php file designed to lock out all other attackers, containing a $content=“by bajatax” line of code. Logs from infected sites indicate these files are being added by some of the most active attacking IPs, and we were able to verify that this threat actor is behind the hardfork.php and hardfile.php IOCs mentioned in our initial post. This attacker was the first to attack this vulnerability at scale.
Once a site is infected, the “bajatax” attacker adds malicious code that uses the Telegram messenger’s API to exfiltrate the credentials of any user logging into the site. This code is added to the WordPress core user.php file. If WooCommerce is installed, the wc-user-functions.php and class-wc-form-handler.php files will also be modified to exfiltrate user credentials. These credentials could then be resold or used to gain access to other accounts using the same credentials.
We’ve found IOCs from this threat actor on a substantial number of sites. Despite this attacker’s efforts to lock out other hackers, they haven’t always managed to get their foot in the door first, but we’ve seen them make regular attempts to update the passwords on both the vulnerable connector.minimal.php file and on other files they’ve added to allow additional upload capability, while leaving the credential scraping functionality in place which consistently sends to the same Telegram chat ID of 1110165405.
Our Threat Intelligence team has been hard at work adding malware signatures to detect Indicators of Compromise by the bajatax threat actor, and these have been available to Wordfence Premium users starting September 8, 2020. These signatures will be released to sites still using the free version of Wordfence after 30 days, starting October 8, 2020.
A second attacker scattering backdoors
The most prevalent single indicators of compromise we found are an infector, feoidasf4e0_index.php, with an MD5 hash of 6ea6623e8479a65e711124e77aa47e4c, and a backdoor inserted by this infector. In this case we are providing the MD5 hash since this file is extremely consistent, and as such the MD5 can be a useful indicator of compromise.
This attacker is using the mkfile method outlined in our initial article rather than the upload method favored by the “bajatax” threat actor. This attacker is also adding password protection to the vulnerable connector.minimal.php file in an effort to lock out other attackers, though our attack data indicates this threat actor is using a consistent password.
The feoidasf4e0_index.php file inserts two copies of the second backdoor with randomized filenames ending in _index.php whenever it is accessed. One copy is placed in the webroot, and one in a randomized writable folder on the site. Both backdoors have the same MD5 of 3f60851c9f7e37c0d8817101d2212c68. While the backdoor in question has been in use for several years, the fact that multiple copies might be scattered across an infected site would help this attacker maintain persistence in the absence of a thorough scanning solution. We’ve also seen additional copies of this backdoor with different MD5 hashes added by this attacker; these are simply the most common variants.
Once these backdoors are in place, the attacker is using them to make additional modifications to core WordPress files, in some cases by using obfuscated code to include separate backdoors disguised as .ico files. While the prevalence of the feoidasf4e0_index.php file appears to be declining, the secondary backdoors added by this file are still extremely common, indicating that this attacker has managed to achieve some degree of persistence.
The feoidasf4e0_index.php file itself appears to be a very slightly modified version of an infector used in previous campaigns that primarily added cryptominers and SEO spam to various sites, so these are viable monetization routes for this threat actor, though they could also simply lease access to a botnet of infected sites under their control.
Other actors abound
Our site cleaning team has cleaned a number of sites compromised by this vulnerability, and in many cases, malware from multiple threat actors is present. The aforementioned threat actors have been by far the most successful due to their efforts to lock out other attackers, and are collectively using several thousand IP addresses in their attacks. Nonetheless, we’ve seen attacks against this vulnerability from over 370,000 separate IP addresses.
There has been almost no overlap between the IPs adding and accessing the feoidasf4e0_index.php file and the IPs adding and accessing the bajatax “hardfork” files. The single exception is the IP 51.83.216.204, which appears to be a third party opportunistically checking for the presence of both of these backdoors and then attempting to add a backdoor of its own, without much success. As more and more users update or remove the File Manager plugin, control of any infected sites will likely be split between these two threat actors.
Conclusion
In today’s article, we discussed the most common infections we’re seeing on sites where the File Manager vulnerability has been exploited as well as the predominant actors involved. We’ve also managed to link at least one of the attackers to a known threat actor and determine likely paths to monetization. If you or anyone you know has had a vulnerable version of the File Manager plugin installed, we urge you to scan your site for malware using a security solution such as Wordfence. If your site has been compromised by the “bajatax” threat actor, it is critical that you completely clean your site before contacting all of your users and advising them that their credentials may have been compromised, especially if you are running an e-commerce site.“

For that telegram chat room 1110165405 I deleted their webhook using the telegram API once I found out one of our clients sites was hacked. Hoping I helped the cause a little there lol. The index file found on this server was ‚fqsvoig675_index.php‘ and they injected code into ‚user.php‘ to send user creds to their telegram bot.

I am feeling lucky that I have been using Wordfence since beginning. It has always protected me from such attacks.
Thank you Wordfence team.“

File managers are very important, if you install an unknown plugin that is susceptible to critical vulnerabilities that lead to your website being hacked, be careful when installing any plugin on your site.“
„Juan Erazo September 10, 2020 at 1:14 pm:
That’s right. Our site suffers this attack the las week and only yesterday we are online again. We are using wordfence from now!“

Aufgedeckt: Merkel ist Tavor-süchtig – Zitteranfälle sind (nicht) die Folge der Medikamentensucht (falsche Diagnose (anm. 2025))-Rev 2.0
„Aufgedeckt: Merkel ist Tavor-süchtig –
Zitteranfälle sind Folge der Medikamentensucht“ (Anonymous (CIA-Subfaktion) redet auch oft Quatsch….) Anm. 28.7.2025. Revision 2.0.
„Für die Zitteranfälle von Angela Merkelgibt es jetzt eine schlüssige Erklärung.Ein Insider packt aus und spricht gegenüber anonymousnews.ru von Medikamentenabhängigkeit. Die deutsche Regierungschefin schlucke große Mengen an Tavor, einem starken Beruhigungsmittel, so die Informationen aus ihrem engeren Umfeld. Auch andere Verhaltensweisen Merkels lassen sich mit einer Abhängigkeit von Tavor erklären.
von Roscoe Hollister
Die ganze Republik spricht derzeit über Merkels Zitteranfälle. Verschiedene Theorien, teils seriöser anmutend, teils völlig abstrus, wurden zu den Gründen bereits angestellt. Nun hat das große Rätselraten ein Ende. Ein Insider aus dem engeren Umfeld Angela Merkels meldete sich bei anonymousnews.ru und verrät: Die Kanzlerin ist medikamentenabhängig! Der Grund für die Ausfallerscheinungen heißt Tavor. Der Pharmahersteller Pfizer schreibt auf seiner Webseite über das Medikament in der geringst verfügbaren Dosierung von 0,5 mg des Wirkstoffes:
„Tavor 0,5 mg ist ein beruhigendes und angstlösendes Arzneimittel (Tranquilizer) aus der Wirkstoffgruppe der Benzodiazepine. (…) ///Lorazepam hat eine suchtfördernde Eigenschaft (primäres Abhängigkeitspotenzial).(auch Quatsch, Vorwand um Folteropfern die Hilfe durch Ärzte zu verweigern, stattdessen, verschreiben sie dann Tabletten, die teilweise Tödlichkeitspotential haben. Revision 2.0 – 28.7.2025) /// Wenn Merkel das Medikament zur Beruhigung – immerhin steht sie seit ihrer illegalen Grenzöffnung im Jahre 2015 massiv unter Druck – eingesetzt hat, dann ist die Abhängigkeit bereits vor längerer Zeit eingetreten. Wie der Hersteller verrät, bewirken die Inhaltsstoffe „eine dosisabhängige zentralnervöse Dämpfung“ mit der Folge von „Beruhigung (Sedierung), Müdigkeit, Benommenheit“.
Ist Ihnen auch schon aufgefallen, wie oft Merkel im Bundestag quasi völlig teilnahmslos und weggetreten auf ihrem Stuhl sitzt? Haben Sie die öffentlichen Auftritte der Kanzlerin in der letzten Zeit einmal aufmerksam verfolgt? Immer wieder gewinnt man den Eindruck, sie stünde unter dem Einfluss von Alkohol und/oder Drogen. Sie spricht und agiert teilweise extrem langsam, wirkt völlig weggetreten. All das bestätigt die Insider-Information bezüglich ihrer Medikamentensucht.
Als weitere mögliche Nebenwirkung wird vom Hersteller auch das Zittern angegeben. Insbesondere beim Absetzen des Medikaments treten laut Pfitzer unter anderem „Krampfanfälle/Krämpfe, Zittern, Bauchkrämpfe, Muskelschmerzen, Erregungszustände, Herzklopfen, beschleunigter Puls, Panikattacken, Schwindel“ auf. Hat Merkel also versucht, auf eigene Faust Ihrer Abhängigkeit zu entkommen? Die Bilder der beiden Zitteranfälle der Kanzlerin sprechen jedenfalls eine eindeutige Sprache. Auch eine Spezialklinik für die Therapierung von Suchtkranken warnt davor, die Einnahme des Medikaments auf eigene Faust abrupt zu beenden:
„Der Wirkstoff Lorazepam sollte nie plötzlich abgesetzt werden. Schließlich kann der kalte Entzug in vielen Fällen zu lebensgefährlichen epileptischen Anfällen führen, den sogenannten Grand mal-Anfällen mit tonischer und klonischer Komponente.“
Kommt Ihnen das bekannt vor? Der Konsum von Tavor scheint in der CDU eine gewisse Tradition zu haben. Schon ein gewisser Uwe Barschel, einstiger Ministerpräsident von Schleswig-Holstein war massiv von der Substanz abhängig. Der Politiker, der mutmaßlich ein Doppelleben führte, schien massive innere Ängste zu haben, die er mit Medikamenten zu überwinden versuchte. Dazu schrieb der Stern:
Wie hoch der Druck gewesen sein muss, ist auch an dem Mittel zu erkennen, das Barschel dagegen einsetzte: Tavor, ein starker Tranquilizer, deutlich stärker als Valium. // Alle paar Wochen musste der Hausarzt ein neues Rezept für Barschel ausstellen. 1980 hatte der Politiker mit zwei Milligramm täglich begonnen, schluckte zwei Jahre später schon die anderthalbfache Menge und hatte im Herbst 1987 eine durchschnittliche Tagesdosis von 10,4 Milligramm erreicht. //
Barschels Leben endete übrigens am 11. Oktober 1987 vorzeitig. Er wurde in der Badewanne seines Zimmers im Genfer Luxushotel „Beau-Rivage“ tot aufgefunden. Bis heute ist das Ableben des CDU-Politikers nicht endgültig aufgeklärt. Selbstmord gilt mittlerweile als ausgeschlossen. Viel wahrscheinlicher ist, dass Uwe Barschel durch einen Geheimdienst ermordet wurde.“ (100% gekillt worden!!! )
