Potentially unpopular take:
Attribution is a distraction.
Most orgs are not mature enough for attribution to actually differentiate response (just like honeypots).
Layer 8 is obsessed with attribution -- perhaps to make things more dramatic / urgent? -- so it persists.
So such things get chased, to the detriment of the basics.
Here's a bit of a peek into what I've been working on. Yes, this is a UI only an engineer could love.
Introducing Venture, a cross-platform Windows Event Log viewer written in Tauri (Rust + React). Venture allows you to review Windows log files on any platform you like, with easier search/filtering than the existing event viewer.
It's still early days, but I'm excited by what we have so far. It's also very fast, which I know evtvwr users will appreciate.
Still to do: make it pretty, add export options, and add tagging/flagging for events for easy review and reporting.

Not sure when the NYT will be publishing. My impression was they were planning to cover the regulatory side of this in detail.
Privacy advocates gained access to a powerful tool bought by U.S. law enforcement agencies that can track smartphone locations around the world. Abortion clinics, places of worship, and individual people can all be monitored without a warrant.
