GKNOVA6: “Classified Announcement SOMD” – New Code!

Nick Butler Nick Butler, April 9, 2010April 10, 2010

We posted an article a little earlier about the second transmission that appeared on GKNOVA6.com. The new video included a code that has since been deciphered as “Classified Announcement Sold,” however a commenter pointed out in our article it may very well be “Classified Announcement SOMD.” We have that classified announcement after the break.

The commenter, Justin, points out that we actually had the wrong answer to the code – off by one letter. Instead of “Sold” it’s “Somd”. That lead him to SOMD.com, a website for Southern Maryland (which is where the packages were sent from, coincidentally), basically used for local news, event planning and so on. The announcement was within this site. If you go to the site, click “Classifieds” > “Announcements” > “PSAs” > And then you’ll find it.

The classified announcement reads:

You can find me at the Cheeping River. It’s near the Cheering Viper.
It still hasn’t been cracked – why Justin turned to us – so get working! We’ll be posting updates on this article as the come in, and make sure you follow me on twitter for the latest.

UPDATE 10:05PM: MrToasty deciphered the code using the key “sputnik”:

THREEEIGHT.NINEFIVEONESEVENNINESIX -SEVENSEVEN.ONEFOURSIXFIVEEIGHTSIX

THREEEIGHT.SEVENFOURFOURTWOEIGHTONE, -ONEZEROFOUR.EIGHTFOURSIXEIGHTZEROSIX

THREETWO.NINEFOURTHREEEIGHTEIGHTNINE, -ONEZEROSIX.FOURONENINEFOURFOURFOUR

THREEEIGHT.EIGHTNINESEVENSIXSEVEN, -SEVENSEVEN.ZEROTHREESIXFIVEFIVE

FIVEFIVE.SEVENFIVEONESIXSIXSEVEN, THREESEVEN.SIXONESEVENSEVENSEVENEIGHT

So, that’s:
38.951796, -77.146586 – CIA Headquarters
38.744281, -104.846806 – NORAD
32.943889, -106.419444 – White Sands (Missile Complex)
38.89767, -77.03655 – White House
55.751667, 37.617778 – Ivanovskaya ploshchad, Russian Federation

UPDATE: While reviewing my site’s referrers (people who’ve linked to MovieViral.com) I found an interesting link. I should point out I remember seeing it BEFORE we had this code, but thought nothing of it at the time (assumed it was a college website). My guess is that the site, SOMD, was contacted before had inquiring whether or not they (marketers) could use the site for a code. My best guess is they included a link to my article comparing what games this campaign may be for in that inquiry. Here’s the link that referred to MovieViral.com: http://help.somd.com/admin/main.php?action=view_ticket&id=55719-7009040544. Here’s how they submitted the help ticket.

    Obviously the game will have Cold War themes

  5. MrToasty says:

    As for the solution, I assumed that the coordinates would be in the US and likely near Maryland. From there it was brute forcing the key to decrypt number words – in this case I started with ‘three’ as Maryland’s latitude is in the upper thirties. After getting ‘THREE’ out it became obvious to try ‘sputnik’ as the keyword.

  7. Nick Butler Nick Butler says:

  8. George says:

  9. Doomofman says:

    So Toasty you knew they were co-ordinates all along? You sly dog you :p

  10. Corey says:
    April 9, 2010 at 7:25 pm

  11. Weesie says:
    April 9, 2010 at 7:25 pm

    Not area 51, White Sands Test Facility.

  12. rndmhro says:
    April 9, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    anything new other than coordinates?

  13. George says:
    April 9, 2010 at 7:52 pm

    I think it’s about Fallout. Bethesda studios are nearby CIA and between those two there’s a river lol.

    Bethesda has officially said: “Whatever this is seems cool, but it doesn’t relate to our games.”
