I spent the past few days interviewing "USDoD" in a wide-ranging chat that covered some of his background, a look back at the InfraGard incident in December 2022, his recent Airbus attack, and what else he's been working on and what his endgame his.

To say that USDoD has ambitious goals would be an understatement.  But he helpfully provided some screencaps to prove some of what he's been up to -- including gaining access to CEPOL and the  NATO Cyber Security Defense Center.  It appeared, though, that he might have been detected during the latter operations, because attempts to then login to https://ncirc.nato.int/ produced a terse "maintenance" notice without any explanation or expected return of the site.  It is now five days of maintenance notices without any reply from NATO about why that site is "under maintenance."

Why CEPOL and why NATO Cybersecurity Defense, you wonder?  And is he still targeting U.S. defense organizations and the U.S. military? 

And why did some people think he is pro-Russia?  (Spoiler alert: his English communications leaves something to be desired...) 

And did Brian Krebs really call him a terrorist or did USDoD just read too much into Krebs' comments? 

We get into all of that in the interview and you can read it all at: https://www.databreaches.net/im-not-pro-...campaigns/ while I go look for some chocolate to reward myself....

I find his claim about the girl disappearing and him hiring a private investigator to be somewhat dubious. However, I acknowledge that I may be mistaken at times. In any case, it was a well written article, and kudos to you for that.

There have been some hard-to-believe claims in pretty much every interview I've ever done and published. If he had told me one or two more details, I could have attempted to verify it all, but then, I might also have found out his real identity, so I can understand why he didn't.  

Thanks for the kind words on the reporting.
