A few thoughts on election threats as we enter the final stretch. There is a pretty established history of last-minute activity from some of the foreign malign actors possibly in play and they are very aware of the unique criticality and opportunity in this short time frame. 1/x

North Korea tonight appears to have conducted its First Launch this Year of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, with the Missile being launched at a High Vertical Angle and then Splashing-Down in the Sea of Japan. This is the First ICBM Test by North Korea since December 18th of 2023, when North Korea carried out a Successful Test of the Solid-Fuel “Hwaseong-18” Intercontinental Ballistic Missile; this Test also only comes a day after the South Korean Ministry of Defense had reported that North Korea was preparing to deploy a Road-Mobile Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, using a New 12-Axle Transporter, Erector, Launcher (TEL).

New: Capitalizing on a post-Covid boom in remote work and advances in AI, North Koreans have duped U.S. employers into hiring them for hundreds—and potentially thousands—of low-level IT jobs, a scheme earning millions for DPRK's nuclear weapons program. https://t.co/zOSZr77CjZ
