The police enquiry and investigation reports into the Slaughterhouse Massacre which led to the death of President Blanc, her security detail, the cabinet and several Slaughterhouse staff were published today. They outlined several failing which led to the deaths, they were.

  • The security detail was under equipped and manned for the scale of such an assault.
  • The Presidential Retreat at Slaughterhouse was too remote to ensure a rapid response with the nearest available armed units 1hr20 mins away by helicopter.
  • Border Security and patrols and procedures to the south were too lax, with unarmed units providing little obstacle to armed Ryccian special forces.
  • The lack of centralised and integrated security monitoring of the border meant that the murder of border guards was not discovered until the next morning.
  • The line of succession rules were ignored, causing a succession crisis.
  • Slaughterhouse was not sufficiently equipped with security measures to withstand a siege for a significant amount of time to allow reinforcements.

Other notes from the report.

  • The presidents security detail performed admirably under the circumstances, and will be posthumously awarded bravery medals.
  • President Blanc was found to be Pregnant at the time of her death.
  • President Blanc was found with Vice President Kim surrounded by numerous Ryccian Special Forces corpses, which ballistics suggest we’re killed by the couple using hunting shotguns.

The Enquiry has recommended that Slaughterhouse be decommissioned as a Presidential Residence. Other suggestions have remained top secret for national security measures.

No changes to federal/state taxes and spending plan, says GP of Finances

The Grand Porta of Finance, professor S. Dorvanii, has made an official statement on the Federal Treasury plan, “Elections in the Vahlahyet of Abri show that the voters are concerned with specific allocations of the federal expenditure; Namely concerned with the housing crisis. I do not promise a resolution of the housing prices, though allocating more resources, within the existing Federal Expenditure Plan, will be considered.”

On the topic of an “impending global crash” underlined by the Central Bank and the Inetezi Stock Exchange, Dorvanii stated that “The free and open market will continue to function independently of government interferences. Whether or not the forecasts are true is irrelevant, there will be no changes to the Federal Treasury plan, as a result of speculations from the free and open market.”
It remains unknown what specific policies the Central Bank and the Stock Exchange plan to implement, though they’ve stated that specifics will be announced appropriately ahead of time, around January.

RPN officers and pilots are reporting consistently lower reliability metrics on the electromagnetic launch systems of the RPN’s Sakura-class aircraft carriers undergoing sea trials than were targeted during development. Engineering staff from designing company Yusuko state that the reliability problems in the launchers are inherent to their status as an emerging technology and that the issues will likely take years to fully rectify without a significant breakthrough in current technology. High-level RPN command staff and procurement officials, however, continue to tout the benefits of the system, including lower volume taken up inside the ship, lower stress on launched airframes, greater flexibility in the mass of launched aircraft, lower maintenance requirements and operating costs, and reduced operating crew requirements.

12:00, Hall of Admirals, Asimipoli, capital province, Thalapadis

A expansive media crew has gathered infront of the hall of admirals. Today is the day the first round of the allagí navárchou ends. In a few moments either 2 officers will leave the hall unceremoniously as they are voted out or the honor guard will, indicating that a grand admiral has been chosen.

After a couple of long minutes the masive brass door swings open. Out of it exit two rows of soliders in ceremonial clothes holding long sabres. The grand admiral is chosen. After them naval officers start exiting, forming a semi circle at the end of the honor guard.

Then, in full ceremonial garbs, and with a gold encrusted sabre attached to her belt, her medal of the order of victorious seas, comes out Athena Antonides, the first women to hold the position, and the youngest grand admiral in history. The honor guard solutes her with their swords as she exits the great building behind her. As she comes to them, the officers swear a oath of loyalty to her and the nation. This event marks the end of Androu dominance of the armed forces, and the stsrt of a new era

(INETEZ) CCI “Investigation: SwissSwordProtocol


Declassification of records regarding pre-detected Malware and EW warfare in the Civil War of Viliakmon



Terminology

SwissSwordProtocol
: CCI-coined term for investigation and documentation of malicious attacks carried out by the Black Flag Army insurgents. [1]

LicensedMBRMalware-LMM
: New CCI term for 1/3 malwares exploited by the Black Flag Army insurgents which targets the physical drive boot records, closely tied to the following malware. [2]

CPUSecExploit-SCCASCADE
: New CCI term for 2/3 malwares (…), which begins by exploiting every possible side-channel attack method simultaneously, rendering modern hardware essentially useless. [3]

SUP3RHVM4N
: New CCI term for the final red-flag malware (…), which presents itself to the device and user as a false ransomware encryption. [4]


Software-oriented fixes

For LMM, a simple re-imaging and re-mounting of the physical drives is sufficient. With the physical disks corrrupted, the data cannot be retrieved in any way. More information regarding LMM available in footnote [2].

For SCCASCADE, given the known side-channel security hazard, modern network infrastructure (SQL, HTTPS, WIFI, Cloud & Virtualization Encryption), for now, the fix posted on the “Stream” social media platform, is all that we can provide.

As SUP3RHVM4N is a red herring attack, a distraction from the initial two, no additional fixes are needed.

===WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A PERMANENT CLOSS-PLATFORM SOLUTION. ALL MALWARE IS WRITTEN IN AND RELIES ON THE USAGE OF BASH, CREATING AND SPREADING A REPLACEMENT FOR BASH WILL TAKE A LONG TIME===


[1] SSP has closely monitored cyber infrastructure in Viliakmon, noticing potential malicious content appearing as far as June 2022
[2] LMM derives from a~licensed~protocol with a digital cetificate issued under a company which ceased to exist around August 2022
[3] SCCASCADE utilized cache, time, power-monitoring attacks, which are subsequently followed by cryptanalysis and poweranalysis, finalizing the grid electronic system through utilizing allowlist as to generate an electromagnetic attack.
[4] SUP3RHVM4N is a red herring ransomware, masking these attacks as simply lucrative.


That is all for now. Until the permanent solution is engineered, we advise all users and infrastructure management to temporarily lock their data behind the self-initiated loop. This does cause all devices to perform at low capacity. This advise remains to be active even in the event that hardware manufacturers provide TEMPORARY solutions in designing new chipsets and CPUs.

Kybok President Jana Van Den Bergh gave a compassionate statement concerning the forced relocation for the construction of its overseas military bases in Kliegme. “It is a difficult thing to forge new alliances, but Sallodesia will not force itself unto the citizens of other nations. We’re here to build a brighter future together and our methods must reflect that as well. It’s therefore that we’ll send a diplomatic detachment to Kliegme consisting of our top experts alongside military officials to asses the situation in Podamoskaya. If need be, we’ll reconsider the location of our bases as we’re there to help protect the Kliegmean people. Not force them to do anything.”
