CIA 2010 covert communication websites Fingerprints Updated 2025-07-16
From The Reuters websites and others we've found, we can establish see some clear stylistic trends across the websites which would allow us to find other likely candidates upon inspection:The most notable dissonance from the rest of the web is that there are no commercial looking website of companies, presumably because it was felt that it would be possible to verify the existence of such companies.
- natural sounding, sometimes long-ish, domain names generally with 2 or 3 full words. Most in English language, but a few in Spanish, and very few in other languages like French.
- shallow websites with a few tabs, many external links, sometimes many images, and few internal pages
- common themes include:
- .com and .net top-level domains, plus a few other very rare non .com .net TLDs, notably .info and .org
- each one has one "communication mechanism file": communication mechanisms
- narrow page width like in the days of old, lots of images
- split header images
- some common pattern they follow in their news lists:
ul.rss-items > li.rss-item
, e.g.: web.archive.org/web/20110202092126/http://beamingnews.com/- links with class
a.newslink
anda.newslinkalt
e.g. web.archive.org/web/20110128181622/http://profile-news.com/
Most domains are the only domain for its IP, i.e. the websites are mostly private hosted. However we have later found many exceptions to this general indicator, so it should not be used as a strong exclusion rule.

In this section we document the outcomes of more detailed inspection of both the communication mechanisms (JavaScript, JAR, swf) and HTML that might help to better fingerprint the websites.
CIA 2010 covert communication websites The Reuters websites Updated 2025-07-16
The Reuters article directly reported only two domains in writing:
- iraniangoals.com. Iranian language football website. As of 2023, the domain had been bought by Reuters and redirects to their website.
But by looking at the URLs of the screenshots they provided from other websites we can easily uncover all others that had screenshots, except for the Johnny Carson one, which is just generically named. E.g. the image for the Chinese one is www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/assets/usa-spies-iran/screencap-activegaminginfo.com.jpg?v=192516290922 which leads us to domain activegaminginfo.com.
Oleg Shakirov later discovered that the Carson one had its domain written right on the screenshot, as part of a watermark present on the original website itself. Therefore the URLs of all the websites were in one way or another essentially given on the article.
The full list of domains from screenshots is:
- 2011 archive: web.archive.org/web/20110208113503/http://activegaminginfo.com/. Contains mentions of 2010.
- As of 2023, it seemed to be an actual legit photography website by German (amateur?) photographer Klaus Wägele. Archive: web.archive.org/web/20230323102504/https://www.capture-nature.com/Ciro Santilli actually sent him a message to let him know about the CIA thing in case he didn't, and he replied that he wasn't aware of it.
