Infosec pros fight ransomware, APTs, and foreign disinfo for a living. But when Trump weaponizes clearances, hollows out @CISAgov, and unleashes @DOGE as a systemic insider threat, our industry mostly chooses self‑preservation.

🚨 Trump has pardoned a former FBI counterintelligence agent who had refused to testify about his work for Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev – two Russian oligarchs with direct ties to Putin’s inner circle.

We have scores of men, women, and children kidnapped by government forces and we often don't know where they are or if they are safe or alive.
Jackie’s breakdown here is a masterclass on how/why psyops are effective. Long, but worth it.

🚨 NEW: ICE’s investigative arm (HSI) is being slotted into U.S. Olympic security in Italy in a way that appears without public precedent. I mapped the trail, missing record, and political motive—plus the intimidation video that detonated outrage in Italy.

NEW: The Pittman case isn't terrorism. It isn't "just" mental illness. It's something we don't have a name for yet, and that's exactly the problem.

A really detailed breakdown by @hackingbutlegal.bsky.social on a phishing campaign that Google's authentication missed. How does the average user stand a chance against this level of sophistication?
Anatomy of a Modern Phishing Attack

A fairly long read but a real eye-opener for me on how devious scammers have become, and the importance of very sophisticated criminally managed and operated Phishing As A Service companies.

Almost nothing makes it through. It's very effective. I know a large part of it is auth, but Google advertises APP primarily as an anti-phishing capability, and they claim: "Strong protections against malware are built into all Google products [...] but A.P. performs even more stringent checks."
Thanks Mike; my config is correct. The content was toxic and shouldn't have landed in my inbox. It wasn't delivered with a warning banner. As I wrote in the story, Gmail flagged it as "Important".

🚨 NEW: Cognitive warfare isn't just about "fake news" or propaganda; it's the weaponization of public opinion and the systematic manipulation of the human mind as a field of battle.
To understand how this works in practice, we must examine the mechanics.

Hmm
What happened at Quantico wasn’t just theater. It was a blueprint: punish dissent, erase DEI, police the homefront. You don’t need to agree with me. You only need to read what was said, verbatim, by the Secretary of "War" and POTUS. Then decide if this is the military you want.

You are correct when you surmise their intention to commit war crimes. They are actively committing a litany of human rights violations against their own people and I believe they intend to escalate even further. Their eugenicist policies are part and parcel of the coup. bsky.app/profile/hack...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

"The strategic 'correction' of high-profile 'mistaken' detentions, is a sophisticated form of denial. By performatively releasing a detained citizen, the state creates the illusion of a self-correcting system, diverting public outrage...and...normalizing increasing levels of 'collateral damage'.."
Thank you for keeping your eyes, mind, and heart open enough to read it.
