Hackers hit Splintercell.com

Seems like those pesky Russians are at it again. They’ve hacked into the Splinter Cell website and left some interesting information behind. Of course, it’s all in Cyrillic, but quick minded fans have caught the hack and used an internet translator to find out exactly what’s going on.

After solving the password conundrum (it’s NevskiyProspekt), five black ops files were revealed each detailing a facet of the games. Included below is a transcript (with pictures!) of what it says. Be aware that that this is translated from Russian, so the English will be a tad sloppy.


Section 1: Information
“30.11.09 - Possibly, the problem appeared. American reconnaissance agency, Third Echelon was connected with [GRU] on business about sale of experimental military equipment from the bases in Daghestan, [Nenetske] and 16 additional points throughout the world.

Thus far we do not have available complete data analysis about the contact of the Third Echelon and [GRU], but they transferred the matter on us. If we believe to last data, at the given moment they track the delivery of the prototype of armament, capable of destroying stability in the region, and they want so that we would help them, since this " our general [delo]".

“2.12.09 - Something here not right. The infiltrated agents report about the involvement into all this of American [CHVK] the Black Arrow (see the applied file). Americans conduct dishonest game, and we undergo the unjustified risk. Does arise a question - what do hide the Americans and why?

I solved in light of entire that occurred, that it is necessary to direct to you operative. All details are sent to you.”

Location: Washington, Columbia
Types of operations: Extraction and data analysis, information warfare, data analysis, mining and secret operations.
Status: Currently, the Third Echelon is control, called to head the military information initiative of the USA. Position in the American reconnaissance association at present is not determined. Information about the status of Third Echelon previously as a subdivision of the ministry of national security at the given moment is incorrect. Basic task of Third Echelon - to be the similarity of the Special Forces in modern world of information warfares. The most significant initiative of Third Echelon is the program Splinter Cell. The initiated from training of one operative, program Splinter Cell was extended under the management of the new director Tom Reed.

Black Arrow
Jurisdiction: The entire world
Location: [Terks] and [Kaykos], the headquarters in Panama
Types of the operations: Safety, training, the maintenance of peaceful situation and the fulfillment of combat missions.
Status: Currently Black Arrow is a particular military company, who acts throughout the world. Company allows services on providing of safety, training the soldiers, maintenance of the peaceful situation in different regions and fulfillment of combat missions. It arose after the crash of disgraced [CHVK] of displace of international. Recently Black Arrow was acquired by investment firm Golden of Locust LLC, in chapter of which stands the American businessman Of [lyutsius] [Galyardo]. Originally, company was located in Panama, but then all financial active memberships of organization were displaced to the islands Of [terks] and [Kaykos] - for the most part, because of the tax relaxations. The first client of Black Arrow became the government of the [komorskie] islands, which hired company for the protection from an attempt at the coup d'etat. Also Black Arrow trained the army of this country and its policemen. Since then company signed only to the large contracts in Africa, southeastern Asia, Oceania and South America. Before Golden of Locust acquired company, in the rules of the work of Black Arrow, the prohibition for conducting of activity in the territory of the USA was prescribed. They indicate that this prohibition was reached by it " in [nasledstvo]" from Displace, but thus far this is not confirmed. Instead of this the company was concentrated during the safety, the maintenance of peace in the regions and training of the local troops. In the given moment, the contingent of Black Arrow it is arranged in six countries, including [Burkina]- fronts, Haiti, [Myanma] and Surinam. It is also known that the company lends support with the preparation of military conflicts (including training, delivery of weapon and assignment of people) as the minimum in three places, including Uganda and eastern [Timor]. Eight months ago Black Arrow was decided to a change in the domestic policy and added into its [portfolio] corporate safety and personal protection of people. This was made on the initiative [Galyardo]. Also company began fight for the government contracts in the territory of the USA, in essence, for the agreements on the support to the activity of foreign campaigns and operations inside the country.

So what does any of this mean? Well, it gives us a few story ideas. It appears that this Reed fellow is now in charge of Third Echelon (the division of the NSA that includes the splinter cells). There’s a new PMC called Black Arrow, some nuclear weapons, and Russian hackers. It’s safe to say the proverbial shit is about to hit the fan.

What’s even more interesting is the security cam video. Some have suggested that it’s a first look at multiplayer maps. Could it be that the Spys vs. Mercs mode will be making a return, or will it be something entirely different? With any luck we’ll find out soon enough.
