#intelligenceanalysis — Public Fediverse posts

The accidental leak of war plans to a journalist is shocking, but it's part of a much bigger pattern, Trump, and even more his clown college of appointees and hangers on, mostly lack any knowledge of operating in a security/intelligence environment. There will be more leaks, and more, and...the leak adjacent. I listened to a bit of Trump's announcement about Boeing getting the new advanced fighter contract. There was this bit where he started to tell the price, because -- bragging with amounts is his jam, and then stopped himself. This was followed by "I can't tell you the price, because that would give away the size of it. It's a good size." He can't help himself throwing out hints to how "best" it (HIS accomplishment!) is. That's also his nature.
Now, I don't know the meaning of that, I'm an aviation watcher, but not an expert, or a foreign analyst with files of other information. but foreign experts probably will. His statements shrink the box of unknown into which foreign intelligence may be trying to penetrate (if it hasn't already leaked, possibly from earlier incompetence). It may well have provided the last bit of information to figure out the details of the fighter and its capabilities, or it may provide them a target on which to focus future intelligence experts. And we know how he leaks secrets regularly to his wealthy peers, so this probably isn't the beginning of it, and it won't be the end.
Even as he was speaking the words, I could imagine the CIA and others safeguarding the fighter's secrets banging their heads on the table in frustration. Trump is an idiot, and telling him an important secret is like telling it a talkative five-year-old.
(Full disclosure, my wife and I have a small number of shares of Boeing in our retirement account, and even I'm not sure how I feel about trusting Boeing with this contract, but I trust them more than Trump.) #trump #intelligence #intelligenceagencies #intelligenceanalysis #foreignintelligenceservice #spys #secrets #boeing #boeingfighter #military

REALLY excited to finally announce that our "Fundamentals of Cyber Investigations and Human Intelligence" class will be part of this year's trainings at #BlackHat Asia! 🎩

@OSINTgeek and I will deliver a 2-day training on conducting in-depth online investigations by combining the disciplines of open-source intelligence ( #OSINT ), social media intelligence ( #SOCMINT ), and human intelligence ( #HUMINT ).

We created this class with the vision to help investigators and intelligence analysts adapt to the ever-evolving complexities of online investigations. We wanted them to develop a good skill set and utilize the competitive advantage those three intelligence disciplines bring to an investigation, when combined. We have been able to do that, through our previous open, and in-house classes.

In the meantime, we started observing an increased interest from threat hunters, threat intelligence teams, security researchers, and other related professionals that came to attend with a different motive. They wanted to understand how threat actors utilize open-source intelligence along with human intelligence in their attack kill chains. They wanted to be able to conduct a more informed analysis, increase the accuracy of their reports, and inform their security strategy.

This year, we are once again offering this class as an open class, in Black Hat Asia 2023!! 🥹🥹
