My talk, Python for Threat Intelligence, is now available to watch on YouTube. Check it out if you want a look how my team leverages Python for our day-to-day analysis, some of the packages we use, and how we approach development in general. https://t.co/6GR8PlQ00i

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

If at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself: who is this for?

NYT confirms — with new details:

Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona.

One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." https://t.co/wuBwyvxaXY

BREAKING: Unprecedented security measures have been instituted in the Kremlin in recent weeks as Vladimir Putin anticipates a possible coup or assassination attempt — including a drone strike from within.

That's according to a European intel agency.

🚨 Two US cybersecurity professionals have been sentenced for moonlighting as ALPHV BlackCat ransomware affiliates.

Ryan Goldberg, 40, of Georgia, and Kevin Martin, 36, of Texas, deployed BlackCat ransomware against multiple US victims between April and December 2023. They paid the operators a 20% cut for access to the platform, hit medical and engineering firms, leaked patient data to pressure payment, and split a $1.2 million Bitcoin ransom three ways with co-conspirator Angelo Martino.

Martino had a second job. He worked as a ransomware negotiator for victims, and used that role to leak confidential victim information to the attackers to push ransom prices up.

When Goldberg tried to flee abroad, the FBI tracked him through 10 countries before he was caught.

Both men were sentenced yesterday. Martino is sentenced July 9.

Good riddance.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

I am pleased to announce the release of American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was recently kidnapped by members of the foreign terrorist organization Kata’ib Hizballah near Baghdad, Iraq.

The U.S. Department of State extends its appreciation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of War, U.S. personnel across multiple agencies, and the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council and our Iraqi partners, for their assistance in securing her release.

This resolution reflects the Trump Administration's steadfast commitment  to the safety and security of American citizens, no matter where they are in the world.

Under President Trump, the wrongful detention or kidnapping of U.S. nationals will not be tolerated. We will continue to use every tool to bring Americans home and to hold accountable those responsible.

We are relieved that this American is now free and are working to support her safe departure from Iraq.

I'm told that the IC has assessed that the reservists killed in Kuwait a few weeks ago were targeted using adtech, and that the Iranians used it to trace their movements to the port.

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.

He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

Amid a torrent of sometimes-shocking ICE cases, this one stands out.

ICE labeled a man "the worst of the worst," accused him of assaulting officers and posted his picture on their website — two days before DOJ charged him.

The man said ICE were actually the aggressors, lured him from his workplace, arrested him aggressively and detained him illegally.

The charges were dropped, but he was detained for six weeks, only winning release when a judge threatened to hold the administration in contempt.

Judge Nelson called the situation Orwellian and shocking. https://t.co/9FaN2X2btt
