We're going to answer this more generally rather than in order!
In order to find this information, we would recommend that Daisy and Johnny start with one of the known Morningstar agents from our January event. By starting there, they'll be able to find additional information about how the UN would have confirmed the information they received about these individuals. Of course, it would be difficult to find anything. As we've told Jenna before, these people have been scrubbed. However, by working backwards, they can find existing flags that were set up to confirm connections - however tenuous - between agents. However, they will find a lot of evidence of false positives - as if these were created along the way, forced to put up flags. It's like someone was trying to prevent this information from getting out before it happened.
Since someone else is out there doing something similar, it's safe to assume they could do that themselves. Whoever else is out there doing this, they're doing it to try to hide various Morningstar agents. For instance, Nico - a rare Morningstar agent whose name is actually Nico and not an alias - wouldn't have any flags raised around her despite her association with things like PRESERVE (which houses several Morningstar members, and some of those were people marked in the January event). As a note, most of these algorithms focus on social media usage, community involvement, purchases, and similar behaviors - primarily to develop trends.
Now, if they look to the "Report a Morningstar agent" form itself, they can see that information from the form is being filtered and being fed elsewhere. The encryption around this transfer of information will be far and beyond anything they've ever seen before - even at Vyonation. Whoever set this encryption up is a genius - and has a fairly competent system to ensure that no actual Morningstar agents are reported, or at least ones who may be able to be reported according to the other algorithms and flags in place. The coding behind this will be complicated to the degree that Johnny and Daisy will have to spend a good amount of time cracking it - and they may not succeed!
All that said, they won't be able to get into any UN records themselves, especially not anything with the UNA. In that way, they'll be able to see places where there are flags set up to direct information to an undisclosed server - but they won't be able to see the end results. As for the UNA, that information may not even be readily available online. The UN treats its soldiers like they're proprietary secrets.
They can piggyback on the work of the other hacker, or even try to figure out who they are.
Please let us know if you have any follow up questions - and we admit we're winging some of the technical know-how here!
