Show Us Your Face — The Atlantic The federal government should prohibit the wearing of masks by ICE agents and require them to properly identify themselves.

Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Many moons ago, I was a federal agent. I arrested people. And you know how many times I did that while hiding my face and refusing to identify myself? Never. apple.news/A8NMRFx2mRua...

Happy @sleuthcon.bsky.social SLEUTHCON Day to those who celebrate! Hope to see many of you there! #SLEUTHCON

The Bureau (TV series) - Wikipedia

RAW for sure. Cuban DI (outside of the Montes stuff) too. If you haven’t seen “The Bureau,” about the DGSE, you’re missing out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bur...

I feel like a lot of the people that made threat intel Twitter what it was made the leap over to Bluesky. But can’t speak for infosec as a whole.

One week until @sleuthcon.bsky.social! Hope to see many of you at the best cybercrime conference of the year. (And grab a ticket while you still can!) #SLEUTHCON

Opinion | Time for a Civic Uprising It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

David Brooks gets it. “It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans…to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

NEW: In an 11th hour move, CISA spokesperson says the agency extended the contract for the MITRE-backed CVE Program last night:

💯 Chris Krebs is incredibly valuable to security industry and the United States. His ability to clearly describe the risks posed by nation-backed threat actoea is hugely impactful and he can communicate to boards, legislators, and practioners. This act is against the US national interest.

I was traveling when @sleuthcon.bsky.social’s CFP and registration opened (and when this amazing challenge coin came in the mail). Sign up to present and/or attend and join the best cybercrime conference each year, bar none!

World’s worst parent and it’s a high bar.

So here’s a simple request to Apple. Apple iMessage needs to enable “disappearing messages.” And they need to do it soon. blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2025/03/01/d...

America First means America Alone.
America First means America Amoral.
America First means America Weaker.
Abroad, America First means America aligned with dictators.
At home, America First means government by plutocrats, crooks, and foreign stooges.

Exclusive: Hegseth orders Cyber Command to stand down on Russia planning The secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, sources tell Recorded Future News.

Both unsurprising given the administration’s swing toward the authoritarian bloc, and yet also so shocking. You can bet Russia has no such illusions and isn’t unilaterally backing down. therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.

Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I’m a fan of this being called the “Deconstruction Era” as well. No clearer sense of the damage being done than that.
