US intelligence agencies confirm Russia is pushing fake videos of Kamala Harris
US intelligence agencies confirm Russia is pushing fake videos of Kamala Harris
The U.S. intelligence community on Monday said Russia is responsible for recent videos shared on social media that sought to denigrate Vice President Kamala Harris, including one that tried to implicate her in a hit-and-run accident. Spy agencies also assess that Russian influence actors were responsible for altering videos of the vice president's speeches — behavior consistent with Moscow’s broader efforts to boost former President Donald Trump’s candidacy and disparage Harris and the Democratic Party, an official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said during a press briefing.

Russia focusing on US social media stars to covertly influence voters
Russia is increasingly turning to American social media stars to covertly influence voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to U.S. officials and recently unveiled criminal charges. “What we see them doing is relying on witting and unwitting Americans to seed, promote and add credibility to narratives that serve these foreign actors’ interest,” a senior intelligence official said in a briefing on Friday. “These foreign countries typically calculate that Americans are more likely to believe other Americans’ views.”

Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap
Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap
On September 3, 2024, the White House published a report on Internet routing security. We’ll talk about what that means and how you can help. The Internet can feel like magic. When you load a webpage in your browser, many simultaneous requests for data fly back and forth to remote servers. Then, often in less than one second, a website appears. Many people know that DNS is used to look up a hostname, and resolve it to an IP address, but fewer understand how data flows from your home network to the network that controls the IP address of the web server.

Moscow’s Spies Were Stealing US Tech — Until the FBI Started a Sabotage Campaign
Moscow’s Spies Were Stealing US Tech — Until the FBI Started a Sabotage Campaign
One day at the dawn of the 1980s, an FBI agent in his 30s named Rick Smith walked into the Balboa Café, an ornate, historic watering hole in San Francisco’s leafy Cow Hollow neighborhood. Smith, who was single at the time, lived nearby and regularly frequented the spot. As he approached the oak wood bar to order a drink he suddenly spotted a familiar face — someone Smith had met about a year before, after the man had walked into the Soviet Consulate in San Francisco. He was Austrian by birth, but a denizen of Silicon Valley, an entrepreneur who operated as a middleman between American tech companies and European countries hungry for the latest hi-tech goods.

entagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic
The U.S. military launched a clandestine program amid the COVID crisis to discredit China’s Sinovac inoculation – payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic. One target: the Filipino public. Health experts say the gambit was indefensible and put innocent lives at risk.
