THREAD: Today I went to the public library for the first time in a long time. A woman came up to me and asked me to help her with the computer so she could apply for a custodial job. She had gone to the organization she wanted to work at, and was told to apply online.
Excited to get to include and learn from the next generation of leaders this November. If you’re a student or recent grad interested in cyber / cyber policy / ai / security — check it out 👇🏼

I deeply honestly think we should consider hiring Swifties as threat intel analysts, because those girls’ eye for Easter eggs and patterns and hypotheses???! If we unleashed them on APTs / cybercrime ops, whole swathes of infrastructure would be TOAST in two days. 🤷♀️

While we celebrate — we know there’s a huge opportunity in front of us to be able to solve the threat of disinformation at scale, and we’re excited to build out our team. If you’re a data scientist, an engineer, a sales leader, a finance guru, or any of the positions listed here, we want to talk to you! https://t.co/xiTlf1wXTM
Proud of this team. You guys are the best. You know who you are, and I will always think fondly about crushing sushi and talking about lemmings, tadpoles, and house parties in NOLA, and figuring this out together.
NEW FROM ALETHEA: Today, we've gone up with a report we have been working on for several weeks (months?) now -- Invisible Ink. It explores a new tactic that the adversary is using on this old website, X (fka Twitter) by what we assess to be the Russians. https://t.co/h2MchfSO3r
The other reason why, is the best mitigation is to shine sunlight on the adversary. Now that people know what this looks like, hopefully it will help others to be more informed about where information is coming from. In the short term, we have to firefight against disinformation. In the long term, we have to teach people how it works so they can become more resilient.
