Emphasis on 'illegal and terrorist entity' and ' proscribed'.

You claim you're a peaceful group and you don't carry arms, yet you pelt armless people with stones and yams etc,and disturb public peace...

I just hope the supporters of IPOB miscreants in Nigeria and elsewhere would join them and face charges if they come.

The world is watching.

Don't be biased. Tell ipob to desist from insulting other tribes too.

Ipob sentiments are jot permitted on this forum either be warned

This forum is only for expressing intelligent coherent dialogue

This is not a motor park

Respect all.tribes , religion and members here

Cheers

fykes:
Guy nothing concern me with ipob but did u just call Ukraine a 3rd world country
Get a passport ASAP. I BET if u visit Morocco, u will know that Nigeria is a 6th world country. There's no comparison no indices whatever to compare Nigeria and Ukraine.

Leave him he has been using three accounts to spread his tribal hate ,I am.watching him

Xisnin:
Shut up.
Those Ipob terrorists don't represent Nigeria.
Call them their real names.

Be guided on this forum with your TRIBALISM

Be very cautious

MetaPhysical:
Bro, Ive not claim any credits for anything here. Ive not told you i serve anyone. I have not even claimed any skill or knowledge or any know how.

Cybersecurity and law enforcement is far deeper and concerned with big fish....those who have people on payroll and operate a syndicate. Not the puperized model you described who buys a non published number and a camera-less device. Thats not a security threat to reckon....thats just a wanna-be rat looking for money to steal so he could buy a gold necklace and a range rover....and then post on social media for bragging rights.

Dude, batteries on mac computers are sealed in, plus macs have device trackers. Assume your mac is stolen in PortHarcourt. You report it and its tracked to a specific address and house number in Lagos. Many people faced with this choice would be wise not to go retrieve the item. Some stewpid ones would see a cause and be passionate to go retrieve the stolen item. It is not wise to spend 500,000 naira to go retrieve an item whose value is only half that cost. This wisdom applies as well when chasing and investigating online fraud.

When serious case is on the target investigators throw everything at it to bring the culprit down. They will even bait you into a fake corporation and play along and allow you to steal data and valuables. Its necessary to convince judge "beyond reasonable doubt"

I also want to correct your knowledge, it appears you have mixed some cyber-myths with the facts.

1. All numbers are accessible to emergency operators like 911, 611, 411 and so on...but it is not possible for a non-registered number to place call across carriers. Your attempt to do so will result in error. Calls are made across trunks and a number that does not have active translations will not generate SYN/ACK session with a 200 resolution....and will therefore not work.

2. To target a vulnerability and exploit it you must first break into it. No server, even in its default setting and basic configuration will allow you in without registration and authentication.

3. The only way you can avoid tracking and detection of any kind is truly not to use smartphone or pc and never to jump in to social media.
Are you aware that when you use google assistant or siri or any other voice assist application your voice synthethis and signature is stored in the cloud? If you ever use a device with face recognition or finger recognition....your biometrics are stored?

Unatrac, who reported being scammed, failed to follow standard accounting procedures. If they did Obi would have found it tough to scam them. The standard procedure calls for approval check-balance; which means there would be more than one authorized approval for amounts above a certain value. If they had that in place the CEO and the Accountant would have discovered much earlier that something was not right..

The company itself was engaged in some questionable practices....they were advancing money irresponsibly and may have blocked transparency to avoid detection....and so a thief becomes victim to a thief.


Abeg make we no argue blindly on this issue. Bottom line is, yes its possible to dodge detection but you will also not be active online to do so. You cannot be actively using internet and expect your activity or its source not to be detected....anyone that believes it lives in fools paradise!

You summed it up and had the patience to explain which is a weakness I am.trying hard to break

Thank you for explaining to him, if he still.doesnt get it well, we will resort to.prayimg for him.
Cheers bro

MetaPhysical:
Bro,
STOP!

Any "publicly networkED" device registers itself for tracking, simple!

Notice i said "public" and i also said "networked"....and not "network" There is difference between the two.

If you are networked and access open infrastructure you submit yourself to tracking.

Nobody is looking to track you....you yourself willingly surrender your ip and the network your ip came from (which can be geo-tracked) to SS7 database and as well to numerous registers.

The duty of investigators is to access those databases, nodes and registers and find one person out of trillions of records. The cost is monumental and if a criminal activity has no value, even though it broke laws, more than likely it will be ignored.....but for reasons of forecasting a particular instance might be tagged.

Example - if I break into Ministry of Transportation Microsoft Exchange server and start snooping on email traffic but not doing anything to them...like stealing the files. This is unauthorized access and exploits. Its a violation of law. If there is no other instance of access it could be dismissed as a glitch and no one will come after me but nonetheless I will be tagged as a possible violator to watch for. If I could break into Ministry of Transportation I could break into Defense server....I could break into Aso Rock server.

So for anyone to come looking for you is a waste of valuable resource ....unless of course your exploits has considerable value that can influence commercial or security interests. But even at that....no one Agency has all the information to nail you. Your footprints are scattered as dots.......all over the internet and those dots needs to be connected together to build a case beyond reasonable doubt to get conviction. The dots are distributed into different proprietary resources and so all the owners of these resources collaborate and piece the dots together and the whole picture then emerges.

Let me share a secret with you since we are on this topic. If you think your smart phone is totally off network when you power it off you are a joker!

When you turn your phone off it still pings cell tower. Even if you dont send SMS, no multimedia (whatsap, twitter, fb, ig...), no talk, no data, .....your phone reports your whereabout to the cell tower. Given enough interest to come after you, security will penetrate your invicibility and snatch you up.

Well said

Nigeria

Maybe it's also true that the sessesionist leader of ipob Nnamdi kanu was also never imprisoned and paid off well!

What a country

Cheers

MetaPhysical:
If it's for educating and raising people awareness Im for it. Like i said in previous posts, ordinary citizens should not be cowered and alarmed with fear about online and data usage. We must not restrain ourselves from living because people are out there to harm us....instead, criminals must be forced into alarm and fear of getting in trouble.

If the cybersecurity discussion is to enlighten good people...and perharps also convince bad people under the perception that their activity is invincible to give it up and use their knowledge for positive growth and achievements.

Splendid idea

I am fully for this

NGRsenate:
A cyber security expert is still sending codes to steal someone’s data?

Or did I read that wrong?

I was responding to the scenario stated above

Come on man try to understand maybe I should have said if I wanted to get the data

Stop being so crude

Evangkatsoulis:
Your ip address is not fixed bro. It changes. If you are talking about the Ip address attached to your network provider, the person would have to know you phone number and then contact your network provider.

Not necessarily

I m happy with alot of sound minds on this thread I opened

Cheers to colleagues in the house like Basher8583 & MetaPhysical

Maybe we should talk about having a dedicated cyber security thread on this forum especially with the how advanced cyber crime is now

To my earlier comment there is actually a used code one can send offering any service once you open I can get all your info without you replying

The rabbit hole goes very far my friend Nigerians just don't know what's going one ...

Unfortunately only these criminals fraudsters are making strides


They travel to China and Taiwan to get high level decrypters and spoofers

Gentle men are you aware there is an illegal network run in Lagos , Abuja , Bayelsa and Kano here in Nigeria ?

There's guys have hacked into MTN and Globacom masts and broadcast their uw network hence running simcards , doing wire transfers and aiding Terrorists and corrupt politicians move funds around?

Anyways the FBI and.interpol are on it , a young man who helps with running this was picked up in nyanyan in Abuja last week.

Basically the network infrastructure is placed around the city in some people's apartments and they fit a generator an inverter and a laptop for the admin to ensure the network stays up

They have their own network , not mtn, not glo not Airtel or 9mobile

They use this network to do all their correspondence

Cheers

ConqueredWest:
How The Security System Tracks Criminals:

1) Get the phone number from Facebook Google Twitter etc.

2) Go to the local network company to get the owner of the number.



How Criminals Bypass Security Check:

1) Use a dead man's number to create fake social media accounts and a new phone filled with false information or better still a stolen phone to lead the security team to a wrong person



The only people that can reveal the real phone numbers of their users are google Facebook Twitter etc

livebyday stop hyping your skills because every system has a loophole

datasthmagirl metaphysical Basher8583 don't be deceived that every criminal can be tracked.

Again I say , freedom of expression allows us to all agree or disagree

If you feel you are an expert at being anonymous well good for you but let me say this, if I identify as a butterfly and I believe strongly I am a butterfly and even change my name.to butterfly, does it make me a butterfly ?? no it doesn't !!!
No matter how much I believe I am

Think on that my friend...

You are only anonymous till someone wants an individual with the skills to find you.

trust me all your points listed above in earlier comments are valid to stay anonymous in your world, but not in mine.

Cheers

Basher8583:
You still have alot to learn.
Below is a screenshot of the packets captured by google alone while viewing Nairaland.
Dont let me start with GooGLE...... That one alone is a spy machine for the US.
If you think accesing location status is all google does you are on your own.
So I still say to you... If this is your field then there is more for you to learn. Get busy

My only advice is: for you to be better secured browse less from your mobile phones be it android or apple.

You still have some level of control on you pc if you know what to do

don't bother enlightening those who argue my friend , save the energy


Cheers

scribble:
I have a special set of skills too buddy

If you want it why not ask for it?




Cheers

Stop screaming bloody murder and stop low key accusing people of fraud if u dont want them to clap back

Swerve abeg. Stop calling the power rangers for back up

Done?

Cheers

For those who are running scared on this thread above accusing me.of scare mongering , stop.fretting no one is looking for you yet

Now to others who still don't.understand

1. Every vpn service can produce the information you used to.register , and they have your real location
There are ways we can get it from them

2. Even where you use virtual numbers to.register or burn dump numbers , your IP is very available when.runming a reverse trace and comparing your vpn truenet location

3. Like a member said above rightly without internet being enabled on the phones or the Sim being registered a simple e911 ping would reveal location within 30 yards of the base station closest . So all these stories you hear about kidnapping, I can boldly tell you that 90% of them involve either corrupt police officers or family and police officers... Hence why the VP said what he did

4. With the new mapping done with Uber in Nigeria , and now the Uber motocycles helping to further map deeper streets in every state there is not a single place to hide

5. Please please please. Save yourself a world of pain , stop posting anyhow online , you can reserve that speech within your house or in your close circle of friends


All the best

ManTiger:
You're very very correct, I came across the attached on Twitter this morning, I showed it to a friend and we laugh and grin.

Cheers sir

datasthmagirl:
Even FBI (on Invictus Obi's case) had to subpoena Google in order to gain access to account that received fraudulent email from a hacked corporate account.

Digital footprints are real. But tracing it is not magical art. Stop making it appear like one.

The most intelligent comment here

You answered the question that lad above in the earlier page was shouting about

Even with vpn that claim to be log free , a simple subpoena to the company will release the phone number , and emails you used to register on the VPN service simple .

I wasn't trying to make it hard my dear just didn't want to engage in unecessary explanations

You are quite perceptive

NGRsenate:
Omo simple question and everybody forming keyboard warrior cannot answer.

You keep going back to me signing in on my personal device, which is not in the scenario I painted somewhere up there. Can you see that for you to trace me, i have to eventually use whatever fake profile i must have created somewhere else on my real and personal device?

You didn't answer my question

NGRsenate:
For instance; you buy a new internet enabled phone that does NOT have camera(s). Buy a new sim card that’s NOT registered (let’s say before the era of sim reg, I don’t want to use the era of sim reg so that I don’t give people new ideas). You bought this all cash.

Now on this phone, you will never login to your personal fb, email account, other social media accounts, bank accounts etc.

Create a new email address, sign up to a bunch of sites, write a bunch of posts and then throw the phone with the sim in the lagoon.

Now on your personal phone, apply for a job with your personal email, phone number, bla bla and NOT with the email or phone number in the phone you just threw away.

Now write a short note on how op can connect you with the posts you made with the phone you threw away in the process of vetting you for a new job.

Here's the thing , let's be realistic

You created a new email.address to sign up on social media right ? But tossed the phone (this is irrelevant)

You surely want me to trace you because it means you will access these social media platforms from devices you use personally

I am sure you know due to the recent global clear net standards.second verification on new devices signing into an.existimg account is a must? Why do you think that is?

If you are signing up from a new device you will be required to verify on the new device hence leaving my digital footprints for someone less skilled to trace you with

The smart thing would be to have kept the device .
..I won't say more in other for certain individuals not to learn

Now if your aim was to create a social media account and abandon then that served no purpose... Criminals don't think this way that's why they are easy to catch if one really wants to catch them

Outline a proper scenario and I will indulge you

I have traced even mods like Mynd44 to their personal accounts , blogs, school forum groups

He's trying to scare people into being more compliant with their speech

The guy may be somebody from aso rock or just a snowflake that gets easily triggered

Personally I believe in freedom of speech but one should be careful when they talk, but one should also not withhold his passion because of fear,

Whether its fear of any embassy approving or denying visa based on beliefs you hold dear

Or any employer withholding a position because of your beliefs and opinions

Or fear of jobless blackmailers

That being said we should also respect th le human rights and human decency of others before we post

Our democracy needs freedom of speech and forums where people can gather and share their thoughts without fear of oppression

Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion!

Is that how you feel?

Remember I didn't enforce anything I simply shared useful information

Ignore at your own peril young man

Cheers

NGRsenate:
You had his account details, that’s how you were able to trace him

No that's not it

To the gentleman above who feels this is a stretch

9 years ago on this forum when.this prediction in soccer betting thing was new

Someone advertised just put a number I asked him to be certain it wasn't a scam he said it wasn't

Long story short he scammed me and blocked me on Whatsapp

Mind you this number wasn't a registered number

I traced him, found his four Facebook accounts, I found his wife's Facebook , his wife's mobile number and the church where they wedded, I sent him his wedding photos too.

None of this information was ever on nairaland, in his seven nairaland accounts he claimed he stays in Lagos , I traced him to jos in ,4 hours

His real name and his location in Jo's and sent all to his other number on WhatsApp he never posted on nairaland
He repaid me in full and interest begging not to be persecuted
I am.sure he is here and maybe reading this

This was 9 years ago

Don't be deceived, there is nothing like online anonymity, it's a myth In today's world. Any Yahoo boys that hasn't been arrested either hasn't stolen a serious amount of funds to justify being traced, or follows SAP protocols
Cheers

NGRsenate:
You can only run a trace if i use my real name or the email address I used in applying for the job or phone number to open a profile on NL or anywhere else.

So stop being over confident sir.

Can anyone confirm if you can still be found on nl after deactivating your account?

Is that so?

Alright

maasoap:
You need a job, I might be of help. So, drop that line. People like you don't vote but you are ready to condemn the process 100%

It's unfortunate that this is how you took the discussion.

This exemplifies my.worry for the Nigerian youth. Alot of you lack the mental discipline to hold a discussion.

I was at a conference recently where top HR managers and directors in marque brands where complaining that the quality of graduates now are largely unemployable

And you just showed it

You toss insults freely without due recursion

Cheers.. never contact me again
