These events are a stark reminder, that UHNW principals should have their security detail with them when they are put and about. #security

@publicfreekout I guess he didn’t listen during thise CCW classes. What an idiot. Lock him up and throw the keys away!

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@Rosaria__lxm Nice work! He won’t do that again!

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@RealMattCouch She was completely in the wrong. She was trying to do the (in her mind) right thing. Thats what happens when poor training and social justice warrior attitude collide. He stil should not assist the arrest, lawful or not. It makes him look better to just comply and sue after.

We recently had an estate manager call us.. He asked to pay $30 per hour for security services. He was representing a principal worth $200 Million. I informed him that I would have to pay those guys 18 Dollars. I told him "not interested". Your thoughts? #securitynews

@KimKardashian Incredible place. At major sites, arrivals and departures are usually the most exposed moments. Plan your exit before you go in, know where you’re meeting if separated, and share photos after you’ve moved on.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@Jason Busy is an understatement. In crowds like these, the biggest issues are getting separated and petty theft. Agree on a meeting point before you go, keep phones and wallets secure, and hit the major sites early or late.

Microsoft says Russian-linked Midnight Blizzard / Storm-2945 resumed Sept 29, hijacking hotel and conference Wi-Fi login pages to steal credentials and push malware. Traveling execs: use your own hotspot or a trusted VPN, and never install what a login page asks for.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@TravelGov Calm crowds can turn fast, so distance is your best protection. Check daily routes against announced march areas, keep a fallback route and meeting point, and save hotel and embassy numbers offline.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@GovTimWalz Good luck to every runner. Big events run smoother when spectators know the medical tents and family meeting points before the start, and have a backup plan in case phones get unreliable in the crowd.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@GovRonDeSantis Better interchanges help everyday drivers and emergency responders alike. During construction or traffic disruptions, I always recommend knowing at least one alternate route before you actually need it.

Johannesburg man kidnapped Aug 30 was rescued unharmed after a US$2M ransom demand; five suspects arrested, per EWN. Detectives, Crime Intelligence, flying squad and private security worked together. In kidnap-risk areas: vary routes, keep plans close, have a crisis plan ready.

Large brawl outside ComplexCon at LA Convention Center: four with stab wounds or lacerations, two hospitalized, per LAPD. Lucki was hurt; police haven't confirmed a stabbing. Curbside fan moments: stage the car, keep the path short, leave early if tension builds.

Unproven: Sources briefed on the UAE probe told Reuters the FlyDubai attack was planned before the airline hired the co-pilot, and Ben Gurion was the Sept 30 target, per WTAQ. A review should ask whether known information reached decision-makers. No name.

FBI and Coast Guard say hackers reached the VL Prosperity tanker's propulsion near Texas earlier this year, per Insurance Journal. No injuries; vessel stayed stable.

For homes, vehicles and yachts: list connected controls, keep a manual override, alert on unexpected logins.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

Two dead and about 35 hurt in a block party shooting in Vienna, Georgia, per WDIV. Deputies were already on patrol.

For private events: managed entrances, two clear exits per area, staff briefed on the first-minute plan, and bleeding-control trained people on site.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@GovBraun Tip lines only work if reports get a fast, trained response. Every tip should be triaged, followed up and documented so patterns are visible. Just as important: tell students, staff and parents what happens after they report, so they keep reporting.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@UN_OCT @INTERPOL_HQ @EU_FPI @EuamIraq Solid curriculum. The defensive side matters just as much: know what social posts, location data and old accounts reveal about your principal. Run periodic exposure reviews so you find the gaps before someone else does.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@Uppolice @uppstf @CMOfficeUP @UPGovt @ChiefSecyUP @homeupgov Disrupting the supply chain matters beyond the arrests. Tracing where weapons are bought and resold shows where armed risk is actually coming from. Private security assessments should track what is circulating locally, not just the headlines.

[Michael Braun @ExecuDev_1]

@pressfreedom Glad he’s back at work. Practical lesson: if someone asks you to recover an account, verify the request through a separate trusted channel and involve the actual account owner before acting. Good intentions are easy to exploit.
