Welcome to the Digital Post Office: Your Tax Dollars at Work
Source: Twitter account @ Rewards for Justice @RFJ_USA
One of the perverse pleasures I enjoyed as a kid was checking out the
FBI's rogues gallery of the most wanted at the Post Office and any
rewards offered for information leading to the crooks' arrest.
Although smash and grab robberies are a current rage, these days the
real thieves and crooks operate in the online world. So it is to
the online world that federal law enforcement now post their digital
"Most Wanted" posters. But no longer are the "Most Wanted" images
grainy bad reproductions of black and white booking photos or blurry
outtakes from security cameras. Oh no. These are all full color
high resolution digital images guaranteed to grab the attention of any
eyes gazing upon them.
Or do you know something about North Korea's forced labor work overseas? Well
the Feds got your number, too.
Of course, it is just not North Korea that Rewards For Justice sets its sights and bounties on. Russia's most notorious hacking group gets its own entry into this digital rogues gallery. Ten million could be yours if you help Uncle Sam bust Russia's infamous Internet Research Agency and its leadership.
As frequent readers of the Dispatches From the Front already know, attacks on the American infrastructure has become a real concern and constant worry. So if maybe you know something specific about some specific threat that the Feds don't know, then the 10 million dollars that is currently up for grabs could be in your back pocket.
Know about some nefarious fool meddling in US elections? Then another 10 mil could be yours.
Remember, however, that this is not your Granddad's tip line. The Fed's preferred method of contact is to use their Tor Network link. Willie Sutton robbed banks because that's where the money was. The Feds use TOR to find cyber informants because that's where the cyber crooks hang out. The message being Don't Call Us even if we do publish a telephone number.
