Booz Allen Hiring IT professionals (snoops) at Ridgecreat facility: Anatomy of a service provider hack?
Anatomy of a Government Hacked internet connection and discovery due to Google Analytics.
As editor of SRI and several other web properties, I also serve as a webmaster so to speak. That is why a bit over a month ago as I checked out the web analytic s offered by Google I began to be worried, because there seemed to be someone spending way to much on my web properties. The location reported by google was over 100 miles and two counties away in a town I did not know anything about…. Ridgecrest, Ca.
It was about that time in early May that I began to have phone conversations with a new Patriot/Tea Party organization called the New Mayflower. (NewMayflower.org) A wonderful organization and Conservative Think Tank focused on establishing strategies and protocols for a possible future which I pray will never happen – An America which seems destined to collapse.
I have agreed to act as one of their founding members and give of my time and experience as a strategist and web developer. This included several long phone conversation talking about issues that surely would have been of interest to a government that finds it necessary to single out all “tea party” and “patriot” organizations?
As a technical person who is well aware of how our digital and internet “systems” function I was at first taken back on how the Guardian Newspaper informed the world of the latest Obama administration scandal. Hollywood in many ways has anesthetized to American population on government eavesdropping due to shows like “24” and others that clearly show government agencies abilities to snoop on americans in REAL TIME.
So when I wrote the following post on the same day the NSA snooping stories hit the media, angry at the Guardians (obvious to me) Attack on (3) major American firms: Claiming Google, Facebook and Apple where giving our data away due to signed contracts with the government! I was angered because of an understanding as a “techy” that this was NOT POSSIBLE.

The media was incorrectly attacking Google, Apple, Facebook etc. due to a Guardian article that was telling half truths. I wrote this post on the same day the Snowden accusations came out explaining that their story was misleading. Sure enough, on the next day June 8th the Guardian corrected there story and released other graphic images showing exactly what I had written about the day before…. (Story Here) The government pre-captures internet data long before it hits our favorite social websites servers.
It was not so much the controversy that had bugged me, Ive been well aware we are all snooped on from time to time. It was the inaccurate reporting that was designed to have folks blame the wrong people that bugged me and spurred a post at SRI on June 7th.
But this post made me pause and think…
What about that strange interloper that had been hanging around my websites so much? can their be a connection? After a bit of research, I realized that the interloper was my own home computer being misreported by Google Analytics. I was the one being reported as visiting from Ridgecrest, Ca.
In 14 years of web development I had never seen Google analytic s misreport my personal location.
My research article from the day before technicaly explains about pre-capture and data mirroring… if this is the case, it would be possible for Google to incorrectly report a snoopers (mirrored web connection city) instead of my actual home connection! I needed some evidence though, so we checked to see if their are government facilities in Ridgecrest, Ca..
Google: “Ridgecrest government facility” and sure enough you will discover that this town is home to the largest Naval Warfare base in the country….. Hmm here’s the link. Its known to the world as China lake, but the town just happens to be Ridgecrest, Ca. http://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrsw/installations/naws_china_lake.html
Also understanding that Snowden was not even a government employee, he was simply a contractor working for Booz Allen Hamilton. Hmm, should we check this out? Go ahead, heres the link…. Booz Allen Available Jobs in Ridgecrest Ca……. Booz Hamilton is hiring “Analyst” for their Ridgecrest facilities…. or should we more appropriately call them “government snoops”.
So, Booz allen has major facilities in Ridgecrest, Ca. Likely a hub for occasional snooping into our american so called private lives….. Oh well, just thought you should know.
Though there is no way to absolutely certain of what I am postulating above, There is no way to be certain of this hack or what if any “conversations” or extensive online writings and research articles may have caused my systems to be singled out by our benevolent Government. As a professional who understands these technical issues it is certainly a very high probability that my suppositions are very near the truth.
Booz Allen, you make me feel special to be receiving such scrutiny…………….
