Last week we released the first of a three part VexTrio origin story. The second part is now available. This research includes more than 200 open source references to help others validate the results and start their own investigations.

As of Tuesday, August 5th, all of those links were valid and all went directly to open material …. so anything that is gone, or social media that is now closed… welp, that's the actors, not us. Feel free to report missing things in this thread. :)

The second part of this story focuses on the VexTrio activities that extend beyond their well-known traffic distribution systems (TDS). Enjoy.
