Ever since, I started following the strange story of CEP News, I've been convinced that the answer is out there on the internet. It's just a question of plugging the right search terms into Google as these cyber sleuths did in the course of discovering a Chinese spy ring:
He entered some of the code from those infected computers into Google. Just like that, he found one of the cyber-spy network's control servers, then another, and another. From that Eureka moment came a flood of information, almost all of it suggesting the ring originated in China.
A recent commenter here correctly noted:
Whatever the case is, looking at the prominent names involved is pointless. You won't get to the bottom of, say Geosign, by looking at Ted Hastings background, since he was brought in for no reason other than to flip the company. Likewise with CEP, it'll be pointless to look at the publicly identified individuals if you want to know the real story.So, all you moles and reporters, look for those odd clues, the names that aren't out there publicly, the calls to the boss from some Forex desk, the bizarre site on which your story appeared before it was taken down, the lawyer's other clients, the money trail, the former employer, the wife, anything.
Take all information and google it and see what comes up and then, please, let me know.
Don't kid yourself that CEP News and Need to Know News are surviving on subscriptions for mediocre information in this day and age.
