Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.
Let the cybering begin! Happy to see my friend @thekrebscycle.bsky.social here @cyberlawcon.bsky.social and talking about not only what matters in cyber, but why cyber lawyering matters too.

It finally happened. In a recent move I threw out my "box o' cables." I thought, "nah, I'll never need those old things, I'm all modernized and stuff." Welp, today I needed a VGA cord to hook up an old monitor to an old DVR.....

Had a blast in Sydney, AUS recording a live "Wide World of Cyber" podcast w/ @patrick.risky.biz. Awesome crowd, timely content, & even better weather (early summer in Sydney ain't bad!). Sadly, no Kangaroo 🦘 sightings, but the biggest bats🦇I've ever seen! 10/10, would do again!

Guess you could argue that volt only matters if activated whereas salt matters right now (God these terms are maddening) Either way, I still think that focussing on ripping out whatever remains of Chinese infrastructure as the top priority response to salt flies in the face of the evidence about it
Also think salt, whilst important, is spying. Volt is more strategically significant as it’s a precursor to the disruption of civilian CNI, so way more serious & unlike salt a major departure from (a) norms & (b) previous Chinese ops
Absolutely - it’s salt & the naming are silly & unhelpful (I also posted about that!). I do wonder though if this is a distraction: afaik from the publicly available info Salt wasn’t primarily due to Chinese kit but weaknesses in US (& other western) built, US operated infrastructure 1/2

According to reporting by the WSJ, anonymous intelligence sources claim the Chinese captain of Yi Peng 3, the ship that cut the underwater cables in the Baltic Sea with its anchor, received instructions directly from Russian intelligence.
Fourteen North Korean nationals have been indicted in a conspiracy to steal U.S. identities in order to get remote IT jobs to enrich the DPRK regime and fund its nuclear weapons program. The FBI shared this poster of the alleged scammers and is offering up to $5 million for info leading to arrest.
