Like the Big Pipes people, they were the wizards who see the flows of data on the internet and they can pick up the software that's being downloaded and they can see the IP addresses of everything.
But they weren't on Discord discussion groups sharing cat memes, right?
That's not how they worked.
The real takeaway here is that we have an internet filled with junk.
We have garbage devices, garbage apps that are doing a lot of bad stuff and they've become part of the criminal infrastructure.
It's like an internet pollution problem.
That's the takeaway is that we have an internet pollution problem and we're not really sure how to fix it.
Yeah, her name is Christina Chapman.
And she talks about food accountability.
She talks about political causes.
She talks about Japanese boy bands. And I'm wearing my shirt.
And every now and then, she'll slip in something about maybe a renaissance fair. You know, just the kind of things that people want to watch TikTok videos about.
What's really interesting to me is that it's not shot in her kitchen. It's shot in her spare room, but the racks on the wall of the room, no pictures or anything, just these racks.

She went to a tech boot camp and got some web development skills, but it wasn't paying out, right? Like, she was living in a small town north of Minneapolis, basically in a trailer.
The message comes via LinkedIn. And it says we're a foreign company looking for a U.S. representative. That's really all we know about the message.
It's almost always a tech job, right? So it's quite often coding.
Yeah, they do, you know. Like, I've heard stories of these, some North Koreans, they just kind of, they get hired, they log into a couple of meetings, they never say anything, and then they're quickly fired, right? And then some apparently last for years.
