Quick question, who makes that embedded image, the FBI? It has a specific WeLeakInfo logo on it, so it's not just a standard image they can reuse with each domain seizure.
- krapp 7y agoThe background might be a standard template, and they just have someone paste a logo onto another layer. The question I have is why paste it in as a data URL rather than just upload the image to the server, if they control the server?
- dariusiurca 7y agoMaybe they do not control the origin server, only the domain and it would be easier just to redirect everyone using DNS.
- jagged-chisel 7y agoSo the FBI controls the server to which the domain now points ...
- wizzwizz4 7y agoEasier to just have all requests respond with exactly the same HTTP response, or something, based on the requested domain.
- dariusiurca 7y agoThey are not so consistent with what image they use for seized domains but in some cases like this one they use the website's logo.
- dqv 7y agoMy assumption is that it's an exported slide from an FBI powerpoint presentation.
- rootsudo 7y agoHah. That's good.
- ma2rten 7y agoI assume they made a custom one in this case because they wanted/needed to highlight their international collaborators for this investigation.
- mbreedlove 7y agoI think it's interesting they embed the image as base64. I guess a single file deployment is easier.
- jannes 7y agoThe logos of the law enforcement agencies probably change every time as well. This one shows the logos of German, English, Irish, Dutch and US law enforcement agencies.
