You can if you are nation state super power (USA) and can analyze packets at the carrier/circuit level.

How would you propose they do that? ISP logs of some kind?

Combination of things really - packet sequence, endpoint fingerprinting, temporal correlation, implants, humint and sigint, back doors in infrastructure and more. Not for nothing but Iran quite often doesn’t really hide behind VPN. They’re pretty brazen about things. I’ve seen it first hand. Now the real question, do you trust the Feds to be truthful and accurate - I surely do not.

Turns out the "Trusted Source" was Israel's Unit 8200. They wouldn't lie to us would they?

Iran not hiding behind VPN may be an Intelligence Agency posing as Iran.

Remember the undersea cable that confidently got snagged and then replaced?

At the international level, they can simply do it at their inner connects. Pretty much all telecom carriers and backbone providers have what's called 'the closet' which is where the tapping takes place, unlike the days of POTS. Fiber tapping is far easier, and there's no way to tell for it's happening since there's no loss in the fiber channels attenuation. And unless either the company itself spills it, someone on the inside does, or the government does, it's pretty much impossible to know it's happening.

AT&T got busted for it back in the mid-00's if I remember right by a whistleblower, because a letter agency was doing it blanket on American citizens.

Well email which is what this is, is still pretty much unencrypted. Even your basic sandvine boxes from 10 years ago can tell what traffic is being sent, and in the cases of the 3rd world with embargos on various types of encryption? It's sure pretty easy to break it.

it depends... Can a super power like the US get that information yes some of your random nerds living in their mother basements have done stuff like that But the question is Can they do it no matter what country that VPN company is located in legally??? That's another question. If they can't get it legally then it turns into another debate. I agree with you I don't trust this report at alll.. This report screams Deepstate panic because President Trump is going to be re elected.

It's a mistake to think the FBI speaks with one voice. In an ideal world they wouldn't make public statements at all. However usually they are allied with the administration and messages are in sync. Now they are in complete chaos.

Fiscal22 3 points ago +4 / -1

Pretty important conference actually, maybe the first time they have so clearly vocalized Trump being the victim instead of the beneficiary of interference. Blatantly pinned Iran as helping Biden and sowing false Proud Boy narratives which makes it harder to attack Proud Boys. Also, even though they brought up Russia, it was done in a general way and that they are actively on top of it all.. this is opposed to 2016 where it was after the election saying yeah we got fucked by Russia.

Both points hurt the left. Iran blatantly helping Biden and Russia being stopped from interfering, so Dems don't have leg to stand on for blaming Trump win on Russia this time. Sure they can scream it, but they don't have actual backing for it this time.
