Like these games you will, the quote next to a cartoon image of Yoda says on the website starwarsweb.net. Those games include Star Wars Battlefront 2 for Xbox; Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for Xbox 360, and Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes for Nintendo Wii. Next to that, are links to a Star Wars online store with the tagline So you Wanna be a Jedi? and an advert for a Lego Star Wars set.The site looks like an ordinary Star Wars fan website from around 2010. But starwarsweb.net was actually a tool built by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to covertly communicate with its informants in other countries, according to an amateur security researcher. The site was part of a network of CIA sites that were first discovered by Iranian authorities more than ten years ago before leading to a wave of deaths of CIA sources in China in the early 2010s.Ciro Santilli, the researcher, said he was drawn to investigating the network of CIA sites for various reasons: his interest in Chinese politics (he said his mother-in-law is part of the Falun Gong religious movement); his penchant for TV adaptions of spy novels; sticking it up to the CIA for spying on fellow democracies (Santilli says he is Brazillian); and that he potentially had the tech knowhow to do so given his background in web development and Linux. That, and fame and fortune, he said in an online chat.Santilli found other likely CIA-linked sites, such as a comedian fan site, one about extreme sports, and a Brazilian music one. In his own writeup, Santilli says that some of the sites appear to have targeted Germany, France, Spain, and Brazil judging by their language and content.It reveals a much larger number of websites, it gives a broader understanding of the CIA's interests at the time, including more specific democracies which may have been targeted which were not previously mentioned and also a statistical understanding of how much importance they were giving to different zones at the time, and unsurprisingly, the Middle East comes on top, Santilli said.Image: a screenshot of the site included in Santilli's research.In November 2018, Yahoo News published a blockbuster investigation into the CIAs covert communication channels and how they were exposed. That exposure originated in Iran before more than two dozen CIA sources died in China in 2011 and 2012, according to the report. The CIA ultimately shut down the covert communications tool.In September 2022, Reuters published its own investigation with the headline Americas Throwaway Spies. That article showed how, for example, a CIA informant in Iran called Gholamreza Hosseini was identified by Iranian authorities thanks to the CIAs sloppily put together covert websites. One of the CIAs mistakes was that the IP addresses pointing to the sites were sequential, meaning that after discovering one, it was straightforward for a researcher to find others very likely in the same network.As the Reuters piece showed, typing a password into the ordinary looking websites search bar actually triggered a login process for sources to then communicate with the CIA.That Reuters piece published two domains, and described nine of the sites in total. The piece included clues that Santilli was able to use to find many, many more. Santilli found that the filenames of screenshots included in the article contained in some cases the URLs of the CIA sites themselves. He then looked them up on the Wayback Machine, he writes. He then used viewdns.info to find other related domains, a site that can show you what domains are associated with certain IP addresses.Do you know anything else about this case? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.Santillis own write-up goes into extensive detail on how he uncovered the Star Wars and other sites. It includes all manner of things like digging through a mass of historic domain names, analyzing the sites HTML, and using a small army of Tor bots to bypass the Wayback Machines IP throttling. He says he did all this research without paying for any data, and instead used freely available online tools for his sleuthing. Citizen Lab previously identified 885 total websites following Hosseini telling Reuters the name of the site he used to communicate with the CIA, iraniangoals.com. Eventually Santilli had a few hundred domains which he manually inspected as patience would allow, he writes.Zach Edwards, an independent cybersecurity researcher, told 404 Media The recent efforts to uncover the websites CIA used to communicate with their spies all over the world aligns with what I understood about this network. Were now about 15 years past when these websites were being actively used, yet new information continues to drip out year after year.The simplest way to put ityes, the CIA absolutely had a Star Wars fan website with a secretly embedded communication systemand while I cant account for everything included in the research from Ciro, his findings seem very sound, Edwards added. This whole episode is a reminder that developers make mistakes, and sometimes it takes years for someone to find those mistakes. But this is also not just your average developer mistake type of scenario.About his research, Santilli said At the very least the potential public benefit of enlightening history seems to be greater than that risk now. I really hope we're right about this.He added It is also cute to have more content for people to look at, much like a museum. It's just cool to be able to go to the Wayback Machine and be able to see a relic spy gadget live in all its glory.The CIA did not respond to a request for comment.

PORTLAND, ORPreaching the virtues of breaking free from an oppressive system of mass brainwashing, local man Dan Pearson, the chosen one who will lead humanity out of its current dark age of commercialism, revealed Monday that advertising doesnt work on him. I actually do research online instead of just buying something because of some dumb ad, said He Who Has Been Foretold, whose name will be celebrated for centuries as the man who finally saw through the deception of consumerism and led humanity into a golden age of free thought and spiritual nourishment. I honestly dont even remember most ads. I usually mute them so I can actually talk with Jen about what were watching. Its so stupid that people tie up their whole identity in products just because Nike tells them its shoes will make them look cool. Honestly, sometimes the only thing an ad does is make me not want to buy a product. I actually use this thing called AdGuard that stops bots from tracking me online and completely blocks ads so I can just think for myself. I love that Im screwing over these stupid companies. Instead of giving them my money, I just stick with high quality stuff like Brooklinen. At press time, the all-seeing sage, who will be honored with statues around the world for freeing mankind from the shackles of corporate marketing, was telling onlookers that anyone who cares about celebrities is stupid.The post Advertising Doesnt Work On Me, Says Chosen One Who Will Lead Humanity Out Of Dark Age Of Commercialism appeared first on The Onion.

Finding ways to connect and hold onto queer joy is tricky in 2025, and while you may think another app is the last thing you need to accomplish this, J. Zakira Wise thinks technology may be the key to bringing LGBTQ+ people together. On May 14, Wise launched MyPride, a LGBTQ+ community-driven app built by and for queer people to connect people to mutual aid, local events, and meaningful social connection during Pride Month and beyond.Think Bluesky, but with ways to connect you to events and organizations that matter to queer people.The combination of giving birth to her first child and the changing political landscape that has particularly impacted queer youth, led Wise to create MyPride, a LGBTQ+ community-driven app built by and for queer people to connect people to mutual aid, local events, and meaningful social connection, not just during Pride Month, but all year round.Given the current political climate, I wanted to create a digital community space for people to share queer joy, news, resources, and events, Wise tells PRIDE. As the major platforms roll back protections for the LGBTQ+ community, it feels more important than ever to have a social space built by us and for us.Back in 2019, Wise created Mesh, a company that creates custom social networks, but by the time the end of 2024 had rolled around she was no longer satisfied and wanted to focus full time to support the LGBTQ+ community.MyPride was born from one queer woman's desire to use the technology she had already created for Mesh to provide tools for organizers to find, build, and grow their communities.On the MyPride app, users can join private or public groups based on shared interests, identities, or location, discover everything from Pride Month festivals to educational workshops in their area, get a curated and verified news feed with timely updates on issues facing the LGBTQ+ community, and get crucial access to health, advocacy, and educational resources.And unlike X (formerly Twitter), the social app is committed to content moderation and safety. Members are even given tools to report hateful content or accounts, control who sees their content, and managed who can join their groups and events. "My hope is that MyPride will become the digital hub for queer people and organizations to connect with each other, share news impacting their local communities, and celebrate their Pride, Wise says. MyPride is available now for free on iOS and Android devices.
