"This article is based on fictional scenario any relation with the reality would be coincidental"
"It is only to highlight security flaws in cheap home and office PCs and wifi routers"
Please always update your wifi routers firmwares don't use any custom firmware in order to boost signal that's a scam to grab your personal info boost signal with external antennas allowed by PTA always use updated OS. If you don't buy official product install Linux it's free and open source more reliable than pirated copy.
Get your PCs hardware checked and installed by professionals who you trust, don't buy easy to install routers and use protonmail instead of Gmail Yahoo or outlook. Take it from a former WHH. It would be alot better if military itself is providing IT support to residential areas of all the rtd officers.
Scenario:
A rtd military officer an enemy will prefer to target someone in charge like major colonel or why not a brigadier.
Age between 50-70 who can read emails and send one. Prefer someone else to write it for him.
He's on pension but looking for opportunities
One day he gets a very specific advertisement regarding job opening for rtd military personnel at UN in that ad official website address is linked he clicked it and it led to official UN website(made up)
He applied there and surprisingly he gets an answer.
However The UN HR would like to meet him(to make it more believable) and they asked him to travel to UAE.
He went there beautiful office all neat and tidy like it was freshly painted (because it was)
He was interviewed and selected for security chief but for another south Asian country which borders are coincidentally adjacent to his origin country's enemy.
He fly back to his own country show the fake appointment letters to his all rtd group. Everyone's happy for him and are also considering to get job in foreign countries.
Now he packed and went to that appointed country to serve UN. when he reached the airport there was UN staff there to pick him up. And later he was chloroformed and transported to enemy country. Which is now keeping him as a leverage to free their agent who was captured during providing arms and support to terrorists in his origin country.
How it's related to hacker?
The site address written in ad was indeed official.
But his entire home network was compromised days ago and router or his pc was scripted to redirect the address of the official website to their fake website.
How redirecting works
Imagine you type www.netflix.com
You'll get www.netflix.com/pk
Because the server was tasked to redirect you according to your regional IP address
A script or a virus can take control of your PC everytime you tried to visit some websites it will take you to another
Sometimes it happens when you download some adwares or enable pop-ups
And router can be programmed to blocked and redirect websites.
Like PTA is blocking all the lewd material you'll get a customize error that it's not available in your country.
Hacker's normally use this to get credit card details or passwords of other Ids.
A website can be set up by couple of programmers and site grabbing tools to make it look like exactly the official one.
Not to mention entire network of his was compromised if any single PC or mobile and router was hacked.
Pirated OS always have backdoors. And Trojans written in it's system core programming so it can't be detected by it's own or any other antivirus.
We hackers need more than single PC and IP of different countries to operate discreetly. So we distribute pirated copies of softwares on pirate Bay like website local dealers write it on CDs/dvds and sell it to normal people and by that we have created a botnet not only we have access to every PC which is using that pirated software their personal files and passwords but we can also attack someone from their PC and IP address. And it won't be notice Botnets are also required in denial of service attacks to shutdown websites or hack one.
If your PC is acting slower than normal always call an IT professionals.
For all rtd folks:
Please attend conference regarding fifth generation and cyber warfare I know they're booring than what you have experienced in your time. You folks were great and many salutes to your services.
But please listen to the new guys it might save lives and your country will never have to consider making any deal with the terrorists in order to retrieve you.
Peace out.
