In other words, we're still very early in this process.

That's the unique thing about this attack. Although details have been very tightly held, there is physical evidence out there in the world. Now that details are out, it will be hard to keep more from emerging.

Worth noting that Patrick Gray @riskybusiness now has independent confirmation of the China chips.

@RVAwonk I have a question I'd like to send via DM.

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@3r1nG Had a question about your recent research I'd like to send by DM

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

Dozens of researchers helped w/ our global trolling reporting done in conjunction with new @iftf report:
https://t.co/xthUplw9ev It's an impressive project that deserves a lot of attention.

Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was hounded by Labour Party trolls before being car bombed last year. Turkish special forces units used @Twitter and @facebook for live manhunts of journalists. https://t.co/svBNfwFBhQ

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@Facebook and @Twitter have become major tools of repression for regimes worldwide, and the tactics are spreading fast. https://t.co/svBNfwFBhQ

Chinese hacking tools and a possible insider. Behind the scenes of the Equifax breach w/ @jordanr1000 @anita_sharpe https://t.co/Yb500S2xqh

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

Equifax had not one but two major breaches. They just didn't tell you about one. Scoop w @anita_sharpe @jordanr1000 https://t.co/eCgT0F6OQ8

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

Equifax has failed to follow the most basic rule after a major breach. Get all the bad news out at once. https://t.co/eCgT0F6OQ8

@e_kaspersky First rule of crisis communications: Get your story straight before you start talking

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@e_kaspersky concedes KL 'did find an email' after multiple tweet storms about not being able to confirm the comms 2/2

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

Past 24 hours of @kaspersky 's shifting responses to our piece ends where it started 1/2

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@e_kaspersky @jordanr1000 @kaspersky You've seen the text and dates. You want the metadata to trace sources. Not happening, Eugene.

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@iblametom Snowden docs cost US companies biz 'cus of relationship to US intel. This will cost KL biz. Difference is KL depends on US more

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@iblametom What do you think is going on? Our stories point out that @kaspersky is closer to FSB than they admit. No surprise 3/4

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@iblametom *FBI agents visit @kaspersky US staff at home; *Senate adopts ban of KL from Pentagon; *Trump considering USG-wide ban 2/4

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

Sure @iblametom but since last story this happened: *DIA warned @kaspersky could help Russia attack ICS *Six intel chiefs trash KL 1/4

[Michael Riley @MichaelRileyDC]

@jordanr1000 @e_kaspersky @kaspersky Only that we were misreading them. The poor coordination makes you guys look like Trump & Spicer 2/2
