Pentagon Transfers 175 Million Internet Addresses To A Firm In Florida

An Airman is seen checking military network equipment in a file photo. The Pentagon created the internet, and still owns a huge chunk of Internet Protocol addresses 

Daily Mail: '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.

WNU Editor: I have two questions over this transfer of 175 million internet addresses. Why the Pentagon chose this company, and why now after these 175 million IP addresses have been dormant for years.

They are DoD addresses, why are you concerned?

Isn't this more concerning? I am sure you have a stronger opinion and are better informed.
"US gives up its remaining control over the internet to ..."

I really do not care. I have some guesses, but I really do not know. So long as there is no corruption involved, IDC. I assume it was a no bid contract and there would be a possibility for corruption. Fairly sure about it. I assume this initiated by the DoD an not from the White House as they would not be so involved in the nuts and bolts as something like this.

If there was White House corruption I would assume the Biden White House would jump all over it. Maybe that will still come in 3 months time? I think any president would have done the same thing Republican or Democrat although I am not sure at all anymore after Solyndra and other stuff.

If there was corruption, I think we shall see.
