TikTok is not just another video app. That’s the sheep’s clothing. It harvests swaths of sensitive data that new reports show are being accessed in Beijing. I’ve called on @Apple & @Google to remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices.

The Kaliningrad trouble, that is a European country blocking Russia’s access because of sanctions, is also an issue in Scandinavia. Yay!

First time an officer of 8200 has spoken to the public that was not an announcement for a startup!

VIDEO — it was here but has been made private.

I’m wondering what it means to have 70% of your force under 23yr old. Firstly, it means that they’re all 22.95. But what does it mean to have cyber without deep experience? Maybe that’s good for a high friction environment where new techniques are needed constantly. Idk, I’m biased towards old age and treachery.
