@malwaretech @secureisd @GossiTheDog yes, I think you have just made my point for me. Thank you.

@malwaretech @secureisd @GossiTheDog he overreacted and admitted doing so. I’m not at all surprised that someone flew off the handle in response to whatabouting Chinese IP theft or equated FVEYs legally-constrained spying with wildly irresponsible campaigns like HAFNIUM or APT41 theft of Covid funds. That’s also leaving aside the whole “legal” hacking-in-support-of-genocide-or-to-crush-democracy.

@WylieNewmark @InkomTech there’s an adage that you don’t know adversary intent even if they literally email it to you. We can make assessments about intent but there are a LOT of reasons why we can be wrong. I made a Twitter thread about some of them. https://twitter.com/validhorizon/status/1516935540159008772

“Figuring out adversary intent during an APT intrusion is hard. Sometimes you don’t have enough data. Some adversaries arrive in a network and have no idea where they are or what they have access to and their goals change as they move laterally and escalate privileges.”

Was really interesting watching this CCP propaganda trend in the US on both right and left wing media ecosystems. https://thediplomat.com/2023/05/how-a-ccp-propaganda-campaign-targeted-the-dalai-lama/
How a CCP Propaganda Campaign Targeted the Dalai Lama

The latest smear campaign succeeded beyond China’s wildest dreams by playing into Western ignorance about Tibetan culture – and self-righteous “cancel culture” on social media.

Taiwan is making democracy work again. It's time we paid attention

Social media has opened up vast social divisions and brought democracy to its knees. In Taiwan, the people are fighting back

@lhn @jennamclaughlin @kevincollier to the extent you can, will you talk about the stories you pass on versus the stories that you choose to write about?

Common Cyber Threat Intel Biases, by Matt Richard

And perhaps one that we can all too easily relate to:

“Threat narrative fallacy. This fallacy mirrors the traditional narrative fallacy — fitting threat activity into a clean story that fits our existing beliefs instead of objectively weighing the facts. Stories that fit broader geopolitical narratives about countries, political parties, and past objectives often absorb new data since it aligns with the existing story.“
