Some quotes:

"The biggest threat to the open internet is...Michael McConnell, the former director of national intelligence. McConnell???s not dangerous because he knows anything about SQL injection hacks, but because he knows about social engineering"

Here's a guy skilled at manipulating gullible people.

"And now McConnell is back in civilian life as a vice president at the secretive defense contracting giant Booz Allen Hamilton. He???s out in front of Congress and the media, peddling the same Cybaremaggedon! gloom."

This was the company that anonymous hackers attacked. Yeh, but does he hate darknets??.. oh right they campaigned to remove anonymity... yeh but do they have good video production and youtube skills? Maybe a youtube channel with a nice animated intro everytime?

Er, yeh, they do.

So on the one hand, I have to believe some complex secret group who all think alike, or a company that earns $5 billion, has all the staff necessary and does this as its business.

So I'm betting it will be Booz Allen Hamilton or a very similar defence contractor, and some out of control government agency.
