CNS patches security vulnerability following mass signal hijack
MANHATTAN - Following a major cyber security incident last week, the Colony News Service has issued an apology and implemented wide-ranging technical improvements. An unaddressed vulnerability had allowed unknown parties to access the distribution system used to provide news hosting services to stations across Sirius. As a result, routine broadcasting was interrupted and replaced with a malicious signal.
The incident has been referred to the Liberty Security Force, who are now investigating the situation as a matter of significant concern. Despite this, the agency has remained tight lipped about the identity or motives of potential suspects. Moving forwar;;;;ERR
7 DAYS HAVE PASSED.
FOR CENTURIES THE JUMP GATE HAS CONNECTED THE COLONIES. AGEIRA HAS GUARDED THE SECRETS OF THE GATES LIKE A DRAGON HOARDS ITS WEALTH.
THE GATES HAVE BEEN GILDED MANACLES BINDING THE HOUSES TO LIBERTY'S WILL.
DEBT AS A LEASH. LICENSES AS LEVERAGE. ACCESS AS A PRIVILEGE.
KUSARI HAS CREATED AN ALTERNATIVE IN SECRET. THEY DO NOT INTEND TECHNOLOGICAL LIBERATION - ONLY THE IMPOSITION OF A NEW MONOPOLY.
THE JUMP DRIVE IS A SHIP-MOUNTED GATE. UNFETTERED POINT TO POINT TRAVEL. NO ONE HOUSE OR FACTION SHOULD WEILD THIS TECHNOLOGY UNRIVALED.
TODAY WE DUMP THE SCHEMATICS FOR A REVERSE ENGINEERED JUMP DRIVE ONTO THE NEURAL NET FOR ALL TO SEE.
MONOPOLIES MUST BE BROKEN. CORPORATIONS MUST BE CURTAILED. NO HOUSE MUST BE ALLOWED TO ASCEND TO HEGEMONIC TYRANNY.

WE PROVIDE SCHEMATICS AND MATERIAL DATA FROM THE IKN NIYODO, DESTROYED BY THE LIBERTY SECURITY FORCE.
LIBERTY AND KUSARI HAVE ALREADY SHED BLOOD OVER THESE SECRETS. THE DISPUTE IN THE NEWS IS A FASCADE, A MASK FOR CORPORATE GREED AND FEAR.
THE JUMP DRIVE IS NOW YOURS. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Hah, finally someone is dealing with these corpos in a proper way. Down with the corpos! Down with the houses! The bunny is returning, beware! LET THEM BURN!

neat
took them long enough. btw there might be missing bits bcus the original bit they stole was roughed up in the state they found it in but it seems pretty intact. very good read, can verify this is legit. be warned, don't assume you can go and assemble one of these bad boys and take it for a spin, you WILL be in for a bad shock without proper calibration.
Too late now. You gave away your position, too easy. Just through five nodes? Amateurs. I will use this marvelous technology to appear straight in your closet and there is nothing you can do about it.
