On March 2016 Di Maio "signaled - reads the order of the pre-trial investigating judge Maria Paola Tomaselli - the receipt of an email containing a malicious attachment, which received 26 January earlier and apparently sent by the law firm of Professor Ernesto Stajano ".

 

This email was found to be suspect because Di Maio had never had direct relations with Stajano nor his law firm. And so, rather than display it, and download the attachment, he sent for technical analysis to the company Mentat Solutions Ltd, which operates in the information security sector and analysis of malware.

 

An examination of the technical data it was discovered that this email was from sender [email protected], using a mail server owned by the company Aruba SpA with IP address 62.149.158.90.

 

By checks made with Aruba it appeared that the IP address "belonged to an output node of the TOR anonymizing network, computing device which effectively prevents the identification of the actual user."

 

The sender's account ([email protected]) was part - they then discovered the investigators - in a series of accounts related to law firms being undermined as a result of a computer infection.

 

From the inquiry it turned out that the files analyzed contained many similarities with another malware spread in previous spear-phishing campaigns Mentat employees of the company had already had the opportunity to study in October 2014, when the spa Eni companies were addressees messages' malevolent like ENAV.

There may be others, even international, after Giulio and Francesca Maria Occhionero, the two brothers accused of procurement of "news concerning state security, illegal access to the computer system and aggravated unlawful interception of information and computer communications', arrested yesterday morning in Rome by the postal police men.

The investigations started in March 2016. It was Francesco Di Maio, ENAV security guard, the control agency that deals with air traffic, to be suspicious after the arrival of an email sent by email Professor Ernesto Staiano, a Roman who had never worked with the agency. Apparently, the PC that had sent the mail was part of an output node "of the network anonimazione Tor", which contained various addresses in the capital studies and conveyed through phishing. The message had been opened and the virus inside, obviously inserted by Occhionero, ie malware "EyePyramid" had infected the corporate network and the content of all the computers connected to it had been copied to a server in the United States. The two brothers, at that point, they could see what the employees of ENAV wrote on their PCs.

 

A real espionage work to Wikileaks, in fact. The stuff of champions cyber crimen, people who, through these trafficking, could collect huge amount material. We talk about a job, implemented from 2011 to 2016, which led all'hackeraggio of 18,327 computers and 1,793 of password discovery. It seems strange that two total strangers in the world of hackers have so many capabilities. So strange that you think that, in reality, are nothing but a "screen", the tip of the iceberg of more complex organization, which would operate with the aim to gain power, to drive the international economic trends and have benefits for its members. If it were that we would be facing one of the biggest intrigues ever discovered. Collected information do in fact think about possible contacts with foreign intelligence agencies that they could buy from Occhionero, paying out lavish figures, information and even "news concerning state security." That's why we try to go back, even with the help of the FBI, in any of the two current accounts opened outside of Italy.

 

Require monitoring are also projects over the years proposed by engineer hackers. On one of the servers used by the two, was recovered the folder "Tabu", with information on the authority of Taranto harbor. The Occhionero "would provide counseling for commercial operation to build infrastructure in the Apulian port on the US government." But there is another point, this time to the banking system. The engineer would provide in Monte dei Paschi di Siena "his daily trading methodology by implementing a separate line dedicated to high-net-worth clients." It is therefore also possible to go back to studying for hacks in this area. Finally, Occhionero is a member of the lodge "Paolo Ungari - Nicola Ricciotti Thought and Action" in Rome, where, in the past, he served as the venerable master, and that is part of the Grand Orient of Italy, whose grand master is the Siena Stefano Bisi, he also listed among spied the two brothers. An obsession, the man arrested for the information related to the members of Freemasonry.

 

Moreover, there is a link with the P4 investigation since the investigators were traced to the fact that all the data collected, then, magically ended four addresses to those seen in this second line of investigation. As you recall, the P4 would have "the aim of managing and manipulating secret or covered by the confidentiality of investigations, as well as to influence tenders', even upscale.

 

But that's not all, because the two Occhionero have strange connections even with the Rogest srl, of which Julius was Councillor and President Mary Frances, the sister company of the cooperative on June 29, at the center of the Capital Mafia scandals. The sole director of Rogest is Carlo Maria Guarany, right arm of Salvatore Buzzi.

 

At that they pointed the engineer and his sister? Of course, to keep under control the entire Italian power system, in order to draw benefits or get them to have a "group of individuals to the dark interests service and illegal." In short, connections that could lead to surprises is not insignificant. Meanwhile there's a police officer under investigation for aiding and abetting.

 

political, financial, banking and Masonic under the magnifying glass: that is, the powers that be, those who lead a country and its economy. The Westland securities, established by the two Occhionero their brothers, it would be connected to an offshore company, the Homeric Ltd. based in the British Caribbean, a multinational, it is said, would back Giorgios Karatzaferis, leader of the Greek populists. A track, like others, whereby investigators to determine who was behind the two Roman and untie the knot of a skein too complicated.
