So it smells a lot like a false flag sig-int operation. Spread a lot of fear and panic and watch how the enemy reacts in order to uncover their forces and resources.
I mean, that vid. If it was real, someone went through a lot of trouble, knowing they would get shut-down and not knowing how long they had, to just spout off vague threats and panicky calls to action. A true chummer would have been shouting "It's Ares!" or whomever over and over until their hoop got fragged. So likely part of the fakenews game.
Unless it was Plan 9. If he turns up dead then maybe it was real because "you know who they are!" is about as explicit as he gets.
