Yet despite this fact, IHNetworks claims on their home page to have servers and data<br />

centers located around the world! http://ihnetworks.com/<br />

Here is a screen shot of all of the five web hosts that they have bought:<br />

So where is this company getting all of the money to buy these web hosts and pay for<br />

servers and data centers all around the world? This company appears to have an<br />

unlimited amount of money but its known income is only $400,000 per year! Also, exactly<br />

how is it related to Cozy Bear given that it is highly unlikely Cozy Bear would want to use<br />

servers located in the US and subject to US laws if Cozy Bear was really from Russia.<br />

188.40.99.143 is a clean corporate server located in Germany. The Internet Service<br />

Provider is Hetzner Online AG. This one appears to be a real web hosting company that<br />

has been in existence since 1997. Perhaps the NSA just has an account here.<br />

85.95.236.114 is a clean broadband server in Turkey. Just about anyone can use a<br />

broadband server so there is no real way to research this connection other than to<br />

confirm that the IP address is actually located in Turkey (which I did).<br />

#5 Cozy Bear aka Cozy Duke uses a Twitter account to call the mother ship<br />

The primary method that Twitter uses to communicate with the mother ship is a Twitter<br />

handle that uses common phrases about the weather. Should the Twitter account be<br />

taken down, Cozy Bear has a backup communication method that uses Google. Given<br />

the known relationships between Google, Twitter and the NSA, it is unlikely that Russian<br />

hackers would use either of these corporations as their primary means of communicating<br />

between their hacking tools and the Home servers. Here is a graphic of Cozy Duke aka<br />

Cozy Bear from Kaspersky confirming it uses Twitter to communicate.<br />
