All over the world: CIA used the Fan-site of the Star Wars franchise for contact with spies-Dexerto

To spread: the amateur researcher Syre Santilly found a fan site of the Star Wars franchise, which was used by the central reconnaissance department for secret connection with spies around the world: the site looked ordinary, but when the user introduced a password in the search line, got into a secret site with various tasks. This was told by Dexerto on May 26. The researcher found a whole network of sites used by the CIA to make contacts with secret informants.

Among them was the fan-site of the Star Wars franchise: when users came to it, they saw a typical site for a fan-style site. In particular, you could see the cartoon images of iodine and C-3PO character. In addition, the site contained conventional advertising - for example, video game Xbox and Wii, as well as Lego designers, which contain objects from the series of "Star Wars".

The 404Media said that users who went to the site in different corners of the planet, when they introduced the corresponding password in the search bar, got instantly on the secret website of the CIA. There were a variety of espionage tasks. The site was closed about ten years ago when Iranian authorities came across it. Now it no longer exists. It is also reported that the Star Wars fan site was not the only one found by the researcher.

In addition, he found a comedian fan site, another about extreme sports, as well as a page dedicated to allegedly Brazilian music. Gray Santilla found that some of the CIA sites found, judging from content and content of content, were focused on European countries, including Germany, France and Spain. They all had a typical interface and filling, but hid secret transitions to the CIA pages.

"This reveals a much larger number of websites, gives a broader understanding of the interests of the CIA at the time, including more specific democracy, which could be a target, but which have not been mentioned before, as well as a statistical understanding of what importance they attached to different zones at that time, and, not surprisingly, the Middle East.
