Crack the Code!


This message has been transmitted by Russian hackers to their handlers at Lubyanka Square. Because it was transmitted by hackers, it probably contains the word "password" at some point. Can you figure out where?

WARNING: This cryptogram contains at least one "fixed point". These are letters of plaintext that encrypt to themselves as ciphertext. (For example, J encrypts as J, or something like that.)

Good luck!
