As a reminder to geopolitical intelligence practitioners, the UK National Security Act (2023) makes it a criminal offence to work for a hostile state where doing so harms UK national security.

MPs and peers warned of China spy risk on LinkedIn
MI5 has issued a new "espionage alert" to members of the House of Commons and Lords.
MI5 has warned of espionage in which individuals are offered freelance geopolitical analysis work. I've seen these "cash for reports" ads on LinkedIn, posted by suspicious users offering high sums yet lacking the specificity that would give such reports actual value.

My favourite time of year! Back on campus at Sciences Po Paris for another semester of undergrad and MA intelligence in the public and private sectors!

Tech bosses spend millions more on personal security
Companies including Meta and Nvidia have increased their protection budgets after death threats and cyber attacks
Despite the headline, this isn't limited to tech and it isn't limited to exec security. Corporate security spending is up across the board due to geopolitical/conflict risks, economic espionage, resilience requirements, and crisis management.

I often come across insider risk/corporate CI programmes that only focus on senior or late-career folks. These programmes are flawed because insider information can often be accessed across different seniority levels and a patient targeteer will happily cultivate a source across their career. (3/3)

Threat actors are patient, and are absolutely willing to plant hundreds of seeds in the hopes that some will pay off in the future. This is particularly true of nation-state espionage actors, but as this case demonstrates, commercially-motivated espionage groups can display similar tenacity. (2/n)

Britain’s spies-for-hire are running wild
Lucrative, freewheeling — and largely unregulated — private intelligence and security firms are booming in the land of James Bond and John le Carré.
Another deeply frustrating article which reduces the extremely broad (and overwhelmingly ethical, legal, and frankly friendly) private intelligence field to a handful of dodgy private investigations and Due Diligence firms.

OpenAI clamps down on security after foreign spying threats
Artificial intelligence group has added fingerprint scans and hired military experts to protect important data
Tech theft isn't new: China's tea secrets were stolen by an East India Company spy and Venetian telescope makers were confined to the isle of Murano to prevent leaks. The (connected) modern economy and research collab makes the scale of today's challenge different though!

CEOs Need to Stop Outsourcing Politics
For decades, global capitalism ruled. But with national security now overshadowing economic priorities, leaders must adapt.
Everyone seems to think they have independently invented the corporate geopolitical risk field. CEOs have not left international relations to "lobbyists"; most have sophisticated political risk teams!

Trump could learn from the Danish defence forces’ way to sign off their post: ”we are monitoring the situation and have nothing more to add.”

End of term at Sciences Po Paris is always bittersweet, as I miss teaching the next generation of #intelligence professionals over break, but also look forward to hearing about the amazing things they go on to! This final class was a treat with guest talks by Drs Maria Robson-Morrow & Angela Lewis!

Nice to see my review of Sean West's new book "Unruly" made it into the print edition! A really good read for those curious about the intersection of geopolitics, tech, and the law!
