‘It’s the biggest thing in the history of the internet’: Pentagon quietly transfers 175 million internet addresses worth $4BILLION to mysterious firm at shared workspace in Florida
* Transfer of idle DoD IP addresses took place minutes before Trump left office
* Huge swathe of 175 million addresses accounts for 4% of the entire internet
* They are now under the control of mysterious Global Resource Systems LLC
* Company’s address is listed in a co-working space above a bank in Florida
* Reporter who visited the address found no representative and was told to leave
* Now Pentagon says it is running a ‘pilot’ to ‘identify potential vulnerabilities’
A very strange thing happened on the internet the day President Joe Biden was sworn in.
A shadowy company residing at a shared workspace above a Florida bank announced to the world´s computer networks that it was now managing a colossal, previously idle chunk of the internet owned by the U.S. Department of Defense.
That real estate has since more than quadrupled to 175 million addresses – about 4 percent the size of the entire current internet. It’s also more than twice the size of the internet space actually used by the Pentagon.
