Wait WTFINGF
-Project Lakhta members traveled to the United States (USA)to collect intelligence
-est a USA computer infrastructure
-built the capacity to reach millions of USA citizens
-social media “accounts operated under fictitious
personas..use of political advertisements”
Jan 2017, LIFSHITS served as the head of Project Lakhta’s Translator Department
So Project Lakhta actually never ended that even in the October 2018 indictment (see next tweet) they ramped UP operations with hundreds of employees to set Americans ripping other Americans a part
Sidebar it would be smart to also re-acquaint yourself with the Feb 2018 IRA indictment.
it will help you understand paragraphs 17 thru 25 - today’s complaint
Feb 2018 IRA Indictment👇🏻
https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download

DOJ page re Special Counsel Mueller’s Office👇🏻

Now do you understand why I pointed you to both the Feb & Oct 2018 complaints?
“USAO-DC Indictment charged... Project Lakhta defendants with committing aggravated identity theft.. conspiring to commit wire fraud”
2020 playbook largely mimics that of both 2018 & 2016
Groundhog Day
July 2, 2017
Project Lakhta member used the “Helen Christopherson” FB account
-a fake USA persona
-proposal to purchase advertising targeted at individuals within 30 miles of DC, including significant portions of the EDVA

2019 @africamustwake tweets
If you recall in March of 2020 folks like @SlickRockWeb @ushadrons @realShawnEib and @Graphika_NYC did a solid amount of research and subsequently thereafter an extensive report was published
So it might help you understand paragraphs 32 et seq re ELBA👇🏻 https://twitter.com/File411/status/1238230565712773120?s=20
This makes me mad
-Russia is not our Ally
-Russia continues to pit Americans v Americans
-they have played both sides against the middle
-virtual servers located in Ghana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Germany, Ukraine, Estonia, USA
YOU IGNORED THIS https://twitter.com/File411/status/1272956838384934913?s=20
See paragraph 35 concerning the “email burner account(s)” you get that just a few months ago researchers were like that’s “new”
“...matched the IP address activity of cryptocurrency accounts registered to LIFSHITS and Vladimir Venkov, who is charged in the USAO-DC Indictment”
Sorry had a bonbon pop up
Where was I?
Fed Law Enforcement obtained the “roosters” of Project Lakhta
LIFSHITs scored a raise & promotion
“identifiers included LIFSHITS’ Russian passport, email account.. telephone number”
why am I tweeting this?
MONOK'E#28 https://issuu.com/monoke/docs/issue28
Super sloppy OpSec😂

“December 26, 2017 and January 12, 2018, LIFSHITS’ personal accounts at Exchange 3 and Exchange 4 reflected activity from USA IP Addresses 1 and 2... several minutes of one another, the T.W. Exchange 1 Account reflected activity from the same IP addresses”
Like super duper sloppy OpSec
Come on you deserved to be caught. You didn’t bifurcate your cyber crime-ing.
Am I the only one who was like:
Mozilla✔️
Yandex✔️
Wait what they have your web browser✔️✔️✔️
EDVA AWS datacenters for the WIN✔️✔️✔️✔️
Deep yellow highlights are not mine
Exchange 1 is in fact a victim -setting that aside as a “statement of fact” - I would genuinely like to know the 3rd party Exchange 1 used to “verify” the photographs & purported government paperwork.
Seems to me the 3rd party has some liability here, clearly their vetting failed
At any rate I promised my family I’d cook dinner tonight I’ve been on strike for 9 days
I’m being passive aggressive
I’m not meant to homeschool, work, clean, cook & tweet
This is a very and I mean very detailed complaint
The details start on page 35-111👇🏻

One last subthread back in the middle of June 2020 @Graphika_NYC released
Secondary Infektion Report
It spanned posted across 6 years
7 languages
300 platforms and web forum
You really should read it
It helps understand the totality of Project Latkha /fin https://twitter.com/File411/status/1272952682500820993?s=20
Well
Well
Well
I ran another search and look what came up - this long forgotten March Thread
I had actually forgotten I cross referenced a previous Project Lahtka with the Mueller report https://twitter.com/File411/status/1236048412660977664?s=20
Also turns out that an account I spotted as likely linked to Russia’s Project Lahtka Twitter eventually suspended it
Because in Feb 2020 I had a lot of concern about the organic nature of the “reOpen” movement
So you might want to reread this thread too https://twitter.com/File411/status/1228851027497168896?s=20
If you want to see @africamustwake
Instagram

https://archive.vn/01QgK 
Accounts known IRA account followed on Twitter
https://archive.is/FJJ4F 
Facebook which was rebranded
https://archive.vn/kWMgB 
So my advice remains the same;
if it feels “off” you should archive it tout de suite
Sheeeetz the Facebook page also sent tango down
https://twitter.com/File411/status/1228858343651004416?s=20
Sheeetz that twitter account also tango down
https://twitter.com/File411/status/1228862397584224257?s=20
But
But
But
I like to play with my food - who’s gonna feed me now?
But you know who was “dead on”?
@SlickRockWeb identified nearly half a dozen accounts and all of them are tango down
If you want to learn about disinformation and information warfare you should follow him
He’s taught me way more than I’ve taught him https://twitter.com/SlickRockWeb/status/1238247386088189954?s=20
Oh come on - you overlooked my tiny present to you- if you read the affidavit in it’s entirety (which I did) then you would have notice the September 2012 reference to MONOK'E
