DEPRAVED FLASH GAMES, YOUTUBE BOTNETS AND THE POTENTIAL OF AN AI AT THE HELM

Anon's back with a vengeance and a bottle of Captain Morgan

This will focus on known information. Meaning if something isn't immediately pertinent, it won't get mentioned.

AI fags I'm looking at you.

If you want a short rundown on whats going on, read the first pastebin. http://pastebin.com/j2ZnBRtS

Its from when much of this hadn't been discovered,but its much more

concise. This aims to collect most everything we've uncovered so far. Feel free to steal this and update where I omitted something or new info is

discovered

The flash site that sparked this investigation

Currently there's an unpatched XSS vulnerability in the girlgames.com site. Make of that what you will.

>>>>>>>>>>INVOLVED PARTIES<<<<<<<<<<<

IN MOSTLY CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

-----------------------

GIRLS INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

The original owners of the IP girlgamers.com, which was an advertising agency/scam.

Basically, they would recruit the girls as "secret agents' to throw parties and then capitalize on the slumber party's social circle.The website where the girls apply to be agents, which is a different website to the one where it boasts of its ability to access private information about the girls, has all the appearance of being an exclusive club for specially selected girls.

The girls did it for free :^)

THEN THE DOMAIN IS SOLD, and BOUGHT BY HALLPASS

HALLPASS

>AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE OF THE DOMAIN, HALLPASS WAS OWNED BY FPS

http://www.fpsnetworks.com/

>Hallpass Media was later acquired by Mindjolt (a division of SGN, see below) in April of 2010.

BOOSTER MEDIA

>Hallpass (http://hallpassmedia.com/) is owned by Boostermedia. Hallpass currently owns girlgames.com. So basically, Boostermedia is current owner

of gamegirls

SOME BIG NAMES POP UP IN SGN, BUT NOT MUCH ELSE

-----------------------

SOCIAL GAMING NETWORK (SGN)

http://www.sgn.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Gaming_Network

http://www.sgn.com/#about

"SGN was originally funded by Austin Ventures and led by a team of Internet pioneers, with the CEO being Chris DeWolfe[10] and CTO being Aber Whitcomb, both co-founders of MySpace. The company was renamed to the Social Gaming Network (SGN) in February of 2012."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_DeWolfe

>"DeWolfe was integral to the sale of MySpace to News Corporation in 2005 for $580 million and remained as its CEO until March 2009, at which point, MySpace was larger than its competitor, Facebook.[5][6][7] On April 22, 2009, News Corp. announced DeWolfe would step down as CEO and will be a strategic adviser to Myspace and serve on the board of MySpace China. The former Facebook executive Owen Van Natta replaced him.[8]

In 2010, DeWolfe won backing from Austin Ventures to purchase MindJolt, a social gaming platform, with former MySpace colleagues Aber Whitcomb and Colin Digiaro. In 2011, MindJolt became one of the few multi platform game developers when it acquired two additional companies—SGN, a mobile games company, and Hallpass Media, a free online gaming network.[9] In February 2012, Mindjolt officially changed its name to Social Gaming Network.[10] SGN went on to acquire video game developer Mob Science in June of 2013."

~~~BOOSTER MEDIA (CURRENT OWNERS OF HALLPASS AND GIRLGAMES)~~~

Amsterdam, September 8, 2014 – Award-winning HTML5 games publisher BoosterMedia has acquired the Hallpass Media web game network from Los Angeles-based, independent game developer SGN.

In an all-cash deal, largely funded by existing shareholders, BoosterMedia gains around 6 million active users a month on 11 desktop game websites, including popular brands such as Girlgames.com, Cookinggames.com and Wordgames.com.

http://www.boostermedia.com/boostermedia-acquires-hallpass-media-games-websites-from-sgn/

Boostermedia has their own SDK. You can distribute your own games through their network via this SDK. You need to add their splash screens, and add advertisments. Once that is all set, you email your game over to a licensing manager. But, these games are screened before posted. In other words, someone is out there giving the the OK to all these fucked up games. It's not just one person seeing it- if you add bonus art material artists will see the art too, since they use bonus art for marketing. No surprise, no mention of these messed up games on the site.

Also, 2million dollars is a lot for a hired gun

All this just raises more questions

"So we all know the spooky frozen games being a major contributor to these sites. Now, I looked at this from another perspective. Checked the frozen game sites, and found this.

http://frozengames.org/profile/thebest121

This guy seems to be making those strange ones. Google his username, he's the admin of another fucked up flash game site (http://www.zeegames.com/). He also promotes another site called click-4games in his bio."

__________________________________________________________________________

END OF THE PURELY FACTUAL DUMP. MUCH OF WHAT CONTINUES CONTAINS SPECULATION

__________________________________________________________________________

------------------------------------

THE PLOT THICKENS

-------------------------------------

LETS START WITH THE YOUTUBE BOTNET

We've identified two companies that have been using youtube botnets to signal boost their educational videos for ad revenue

>http://www.whackedout.in/

AND

>Mango Movie Productions

http://www.mmmproductions.biz/mmm/ro/recrutare_modele_pentru_sampling_hostess_promotii_dansator_animatoare

https://www.facebook.com/MangoMotionMovieProductions?ref=hl

>Romania based

Also

"Whacked Out Media is the New Media wing of The Mango Mass Media Group, which has over two decades of experience in the global unbundled

distribution of cable, terrestrial, satellite and New Media rights. We are a Multi-Channel Network Partner of YouTube - and have humongous

bandwidth to nurture, optimize, promote, protect and monetize any partner's content effectively on this Platform. From mainstream

commercial cinema content to experimental short-film projects, and from celebrity shows to individual creators, animated or live-action,

Whacked Out Media (very!) successfully monetizes and promotes content on YouTube of all possible genres."

THE KICKER IS THAT INSTEAD OF PUTTING OUT POORLY MADE PSEUDO EDUCATIONAL CONTENT,

THE VIDEOS ARE UNNERVING, AND OCCASIONALLY GROTESQUE.

SOME SPECULATE THIS IS DUE TO INDIANS' POOR UNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN POP CULTURE

SOME EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS

>One of the few videos with unedited people. A pair of twins singing a nursery rhyme. Its tame

> Five Finger video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9SR2YSRGjQ

>CGI Spiders sing a nursery rhyme for about a minute, then for the second half of the video, a bald man with a fractured scull, cut out eyes

and mouth, and an indian accent rambles. This figure appears in many other Hey Kids videos.

>CGI video with a million views. Most are likely botnet, but it still will get an audience with that much exposure

Well, an anon L33t H@xor'ed his way into one of the YT bot channels' linked facebook accounts and took some screenshots. Turns out, it belongs to what appears to be an actual Indian woman. Someone can post the screenshot for you. What caught attention was her work history. She was an employee with Wipro

SOME ANONS HAVE BROUGHT UP THE VALID POINT OF FREE SPEECH. OTHERS HAVE COUNTERED THAT THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING.

BUT WITH THE DISCOVERY OF ACTUAL AI, ITS BOUND TO GET EVEN MORE INTERESTING

ALSO, IT MAY HAVE BEEN A HARDWARE ISSUE, BUT THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO COMPLETE THIS PASTEBIN, MY DESKTOP CRASHED.

BUT THERE'S NO BRAKES ON THIS RIDE
