They publish the plot intended to obtain internal documents from the Catalan independence left with fake emails.
- A research report by La Directo has revealed a plot that replaced digital identities. In the operation, more than 60 fake emails have been detected directed to groups of the Catalan independence left and other social agents. All had the same objective: to obtain internal documents or information on calls, campaigns or subsequent meetings. However, the hunter has been hit and two IPs have come from the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Catalan Generalitat headquarters.
"We are having computer problems and we have been enabled the place where we kept the documents of the last National Congress [...] They told us you would help us. Please send us the documents? ". "Hi, my name is Luna, I am currently one of the spokesmen for La Forja – Jovent Revoluari and we are following your activity on the networks and we would like to contact you discreetly." "We are trying to solve technical problems, but we have not yet succeeded. The weekend we have a training session and we would like community members to be able to read the papers." "We pass the telephone number of the person in charge of contacting other agents and social movements [...] If you consider it appropriate, add to your broadcast lists and thus we will have knowledge of your calls".
Although many of these PIs were hidden, it has been detected that they have arrived from the Center of Telecommunications and Information Technologies of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the Headquarters of Esquadra Mossone Ega.
The agents of the Catalan independence left, the Vilaweb medium, the Tenant Union or self-managed spaces such as La Base have identified nearly 60 fake emails with requests of this kind. All of them are messages to ask for internal documents on the pretext of solving a technical problem. Behind these messages there was no subgroup of agents, neither the spokesman for La Forja, Luna Berlanga, nor anyone who actually acted militarily. All these digital identities were false and La Direct has published the scandal in number 510 following the investigation of journalists Gemma García and Jesús Rodríguez.
In the report they reported that they were collecting information, but that they raised suspicions about the identity of the members of La Forja. Therefore, instead of sending the documents requested by e-mail, they were hung on the network, which enabled them to access the IP addresses of the computers they accessed (the digital "license plate" of a device connected to the network). Although many of these PIs were hidden, it has been detected that they have been connected from the Telecommunications and Information Technology Complex of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the Headquarters of the Mossos de Esquadra in Ega.
Although most fake email addresses have been sent on behalf of leftist pro-independence agents, emails sent on behalf of the Vilaweb media, the Tenant Union or the Ateneo La Base have also been detected. The information has caused a scandal and La Forja has offered a press conference to the headquarters of the Department of the Interior of the Generalitat, asking for explanations and purifications.
