Just read where military is jamming wifi, locks and cameras and then erasing any evidence. Guess you really have to watch what you post online.
In and out; never been there
This is indisputably the guaranteed best part of the entire operation:
A laptop is also seen nearby with a still image from the music video for Rick Astleyâs 1987 hit song âNever Gonna Give You Upâ (or possibly the full video playing) on the screen. Since the late 2000s, this music video has been the centerpiece of online pranking wherein people are tricked into viewing it via bogus hyperlinks or other means, which has become known as âRickrolling.â It is unknown whether or not Army Special Forces soldiers included this as part of their larger âcyber disruptionâ of the faux enemy network.
Does anyone else basically ALWAYS purposely click play when they see the Rick Roll video to purposely Rick Roll themself every time it comes up? Just me? Iâm not ashamed. That link has over 1.5BILLION views, and I probably make up a bunch of them 
PRESS PLAY!!!
DOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIITTTTT!!!
One thing I didnât see them mention in the article that is a big deal lately is how easy it is to 3D map an entire building using WiFi signals now, especially places that have tons of signal pollution to allow for improved triangulation. Military, Law Enforcement, etc have the capability to show up to a building and see everything going on inside it without having to step a foot in there, not even have to hack into the WiFi, not hack the cameras, anything. They can see where every single person is at all times and exactly what they are doing, where all the furniture is positioned, etc just using the WiFi signals. That might be one of the most important things to do for ANY of these operations they listed:
recovering intelligence, rescuing captured individuals, or conducting direct action raids to kill or capture high-value individuals or neutralize critical materiel
If you can see where captured individuals are, where everyone is, where are the high value individuals, etcâŚthatâs absolutely critical intel. You could have a sniper or drone know where to shoot through a wall to hit someone who isnât visible with the eyes, for example.
This is another big one:
run exploits on the target computer inside the building
Or any other systemâŚI know that zeroday exploits are often auctioned on the dark web for Millions. It was just a couple of years ago, the Apple zero day exploits finally overtook Android in being more prevalent and cheaper to purchase (due to higher demand, not necessarily indicative of Apple being less secureâŚall systems have zero day exploits and so ALL are equally totally not secure no matter what anyone wants to thinkâŚa zero day is still zero day = full access)âŚthough only big hacker groups and Governements and terrorists really have the money to buy the zero day exploits. Reportedly, governments usually arrange to pay a lot extra with a seller to have exclusivity on a zero day exploit for national security and cyber operations just like this. There are a lot of sources reporting that the US government has been one of the largest buyers of zero-day exploitsâŚbut I am sure they keep a bunch of them highly secret to be used only on a critical desperate rainy day to make sure not to give it away.
Point is, yes, itâs true that someone like the US Government can probably get into almost ANYTHING on any system any time they wantâŚfor us consumer nobodies, they wouldnât even have to waste one of their Zero Day exploits worth Million$/Billion$. But if it was important enough, they probably could (with a few key exceptionsâŚ).
Still, interesting to see some of that publicized in the warzone article.

Please do. I donât see the bait-n-switch part.
Oh, you didnât get enough of that? Need some more intellectualizing related to the infamous Rock Roll, do you? You ever hear of the Rick Astley Paradox?
Wyze also Rick Rolled everyone in their latest newsletter if you happen to click the link in the email that says:
Not the first time Wyze has Rick Rolled people, and wonât be the last.
One of the first times they Rick Rolled everyone I updated the meme:
The above may not be accurate. They are a company and no company is perfect. But those were great days IMO when they had new products launching every month. It was exciting, and not everything was dedicated to cameras. I hope they go back to doing stuff that isnât 100% always strictly camera related again. They do have their work cut out for them lately in fixing some of the bugs, etc in the new app release, and finishing up the past fix it Friday reports.
I do like the light hearted playfulness of Rick rolling though

I havenât finished reading yet ( too hard) but thinking in the interim that this is the kind of thing âpeopleâ do when their onanisticism has left them too sore to continue in the physical realm so they just repair to the virtual and continueâŚ
