Why didn't anyone ask Dominion in Michigan if their machines have an inbuilt FIREWALL? I was waiting for this but it never came up? If someone connected the voting machine network to the internet (either by accident or mistake) ALL the machines are open to attack. They didn't even ask if the voting machine devices used encrypted communication between each other. Didn't ask if voting systems had any network intrusion protection/alerting either. They really need someone technical advising them on their questioning. Zzz
Firstly this is aimed at those less tech savvy pedes.
We're seeing an increasing number of 3rd party platforms and software now adding in blocks to prevent access to thedonald.win. Note that the TDW backups sites will likely be blocked also through the same mechanisms. The last thing I'd advise is to turn off web security purely to access TDW therefore consider 3 main workarounds (in order of convenience).
-
Add an exclusion/whitelist thedonald.win in your Antivirus/Web security or browser.
-
Use a web proxy such as ( https://hide.me/en/proxy - https://www.hidemyass.com/en-gb/proxy ). Usually free, nothing to install. Prefect for work/corporate devices.
-
Use a VPN - many paid alternatives however you need to install their software. ( https://nordvpn.com/ - https://virtualshield.com/ - https://www.expressvpn.com/ )
Examples of 3rd party blocks/restrictions.
Sophos AntiVirus/Web protection block: https://thedonald.win/p/11R4XFf40R/sophos-web-protection--antivirus/c/
Corporate blocks: https://thedonald.win/p/11R4XEXmDR/employer-just-blocked-win-within/
Just wanted to throw this out there before people find they cant access TDW and don't know how to get around it.
For the non tech savvy... it's VERY easy to set up a computer or server in another country whether it be a physical machine or a cloud hosted virtual server, then conduct hacks from that server by remote control over a secure encrypted tunnel. Don't take it for granted when an article claims Russia (or anyone else) is the origin of a hack as it will be VERY difficult to find out who or where the hackers actually are. i.e. Chinese hackers could easily conduct their hacking attempts from a server hosted in Russia (or anywhere else). Intel agents in the US would only see the network traffic origin of the server, NOT the location of the hackers in control.
