Counterintelligence case with aerospace implications."

A former U.S. Air Force Major is charged with allegedly conspiring to provide combat aircraft training to China’s military, coordinating with Stephen Su Bin - previously convicted in a cyber espionage case involving Boeing’s C-17 transport aircraft data.

Alleged violations include:
• International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
• Unauthorized defense services export
• Foreign military engagement without licensing
• Historical linkage to aerospace cyber intrusion campaigns
The case underscores the convergence of:
– Human intelligence recruitment
– Cyber espionage legacy actors
– Defense contractor ecosystems
– Export control enforcement challenges
How should compliance programs at defense contractors adapt to mitigate insider expertise risks post-employment?

@[email protected] the good part about such [cyberfascist bullshit](https://chaos.social/@HackyScientress/115950018434406681) is that technology makes it obsolete because they *"Can't Stop The Signal"* and [*"The Know-How and Technology is already out there"*!](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/116047147463118115) - Like worst-case people can DIY an FCG-9 with a drill, benchtop power supply, file, sandpaper, scraps of wood and metal. - It'll merely increase time and cost, just like banning access to chemicals, which only create more issues due to the dangerous means of DIYing these. In the end the only profiteers of criminalization are Organized Crime! - And that alone should be reason enough to oppose said cyberfascist ideas and legislation to begin with! Because *once this shit is introduced, it'll only be extended in scope*. - Just like *"Lawful Interception"* mandates never got cut back!

#InconvenientTruth: The #laws cannot keep up since [at least] the #Luty-SMG, and most certainly not today.

The only reason speople ain't #DIY'ing #guns is because they

  • have trust in the state to be protected,
  • trust in society to not get hatecrimed and/or
  • despise violence culture whilst having the privilegue of not being forced to face violence.

Technology doesn't care about #laws.

I don't do any of that as a matter of principle.

  • Not only because one cannot effectively advocate from jail for change!

That's the whole #commentary on my end!

I'm quite bit cautious re: #Merz's "#PowerPolitics"...

And yes, #Trump is a major #asshole in #politricks.

I've no patience for bullshit & gaslighting.

  • Even if that was a correct counter-argument, you don't have to serve your comms on a silver platter to hostile actors, like a total idiot.

Your continued disinformation endangers peoples lives and I sincerely wish to be wrong, but alas I'm not!

  • And it's not that I've not given @signalapp a fair chance but they went out of their way to literally step into every pit and bucket they could.

#JuristictionMatters and ignoring this - alongside the extreme #centralization of #Signal makes you sound like a #UsefulIdiot!

  • Alas you'll have time to apologize when this shitshow implodes and I'll be shouting #ToldYaSo!

Or have you never asked how #Sinal "keeps it's lights on"?

  • Or how they are knowingly being allowed to offer their sevices to nationals under Embargo that neither #aws not any #hoster that falls under #CloudAct would even remotely allow? Cuz those #ITAR - exemptions require permit from the US government (Treasury Dept.) that is harder to obtain than a destructive device dealer/manufacturer/importer license (from the ATF)...

And no I cannot elaborate further on that example!
