@arekfurt Agreed. Not all of these people stay at NSA but many of them get great experience and then move onto other agencies or go out into the private sector. It’s absolutely a training ground for the industry.
ICYMI, this bulletin on SVR cyber activities released yesterday by NSA/etc. contains a rather interesting list of vulnerabilities that have not necessarily been publicly confirmed to be under wide exploitation but that the agencies suggest you pay special attention to.🤔

BIG RULING: Geofencing of Google Location History records was not a search, 4th Circuit rules, as it was only two hours duration and 3rd party doctrine applies. Court adopts the mosaic theory, but there was not enough surveillance to create a mosaic. https://t.co/WgcfEGzkY9 #N
A viral story that alleges Ukraine's Olena Zelenska recently bought a rare Bugatti car in Paris is the work of an AI-powered disinformation operation, run by an ex-Florida cop now based in Moscow, that pumps out fake news websites aimed at Americans.

NEW: Compelled biometrics does not trigger the 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, 9th Circuit rules in Payne, at least where the government picks the finger to use. (This is clearly correct.) https://t.co/ftIDIE9Bd1 #N
In light of the recent government efforts to restrict data being sold to adversary nations, I’d like to bring this thread back. This particular scenario involves what I would consider typical B2B activity that will likely fly under the radar.

I’m having my cybersecurity students read the @FTC action against BLU Products from 2018. In reading it again for this upcoming class, I’m wondering if this would have gotten a different kind of attention if it happened recently. For those that are not aware…
@arekfurt I’m curious what you think about the attribution component. It isn’t clear how they came to this conclusion. Do you think they should be more forthcoming with these details in light of the fact that they pointed the finger at a specific entity in a foreign country?
