Ransomware keeps getting treated like a business risk, but it's basically a hostile act against critical infrastructure. We're stuck in a loop of paying ransoms and hoping for the best, which just funds the next attack. Mandatory incident reporting would at least give us a real picture of the threat, and we need offensive countermeasures to hit back, not just insurance payouts that make the problem worse. Stop calling it a cybercrime and start calling it what it is: a national security failure we're paying for twice. #ransomware #cybersecurity #nationalsecurity

#Trump threatens to #bomb #US #ally #Oman as #Iran agreement expires
Trump threatened today to attack Oman if it interferes with US efforts in the #StraitOfHormuz, as the conflict with Iran continues & a 2-month window for peace talks expires without a path to end the war.
“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said vulgarly in an interview with FauxNews.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve carried two dreams. The first came true in 2007, when I raised my hand, standing on the agency’s marble seal, and became a CIA officer. The second dream, I didn’t dare speak aloud; it came from an unexplainable conviction that I should have been born a woman.
In 2013, Julia Curlee was the first CIA officer to successfully transition.
In 2025, the Trump administration barred trans people like Curlee from using the bathrooms in government buildings—but called Curlee "indispensable" to the national security apparatus.
But when right-wing influencers targeted her, the administration forced her out.As she points out in her piece,
Flailing regimes dehumanize minorities to distract from their failures. When the economy collapses or a war goes badly, they find a tiny group of people, make them the enemy within, and rally the country against them. This is how it’s gone in Iran. Hungary. Russia. I wrote PDBs about it. This will not stop with trans people. It never has.
But that caricature works only if people like me don’t exist—and I exist. I speak now because somewhere, a trans kid is watching. I want that kid to know that they are not alone. I was a trans kid too, and I’ll be damned if I let another generation grow up the way I did—told that they don’t belong, that they don’t deserve a job, a bathroom, a future. If I could brief presidents and serve in the White House—twice—so can they.

IC Brief Morning — 2026-08-17
Israeli intelligence faces converging credibility challenges eroding allied confidence in Iran-threat assessments. We assess US officials will very likely publicly question the reliability of Israeli reporting again before year-end 2026. Moderate confidence rests on the CIA's low-confidence assessments and Turkish non-corroboration of Israeli assassination-plot warnings, two independent channels already producing authorized skepticism. The IAF's Polymarket scandal, where officers bet on classified strike timing, likely will produce additional unauthorized disclosures before December 31. Direct US-Iran bilateral negotiations are very likely not to occur through year-end, absent a jointly agreed venue with security guarantees.
State-sponsored cyber operations are converging on legitimate cloud platforms to defeat conventional detection. China-linked Mustang Panda deployed a signed kernel rootkit filtering network telemetry from security tools, while Pakistan-linked APT36 routed command and control through the Google Sheets API. At least two additional cloud-API C2 campaign disclosures are very likely within 90 days. Moderate confidence reflects a consistent quarterly disclosure cadence.
Counterintelligence enforcement is intensifying across Eurasian fault lines, with Russia sentencing a man to 23 years for spying for Polish intelligence and Kosovo simultaneously detaining an admitted Serbian BIA agent. Additional NATO-service espionage prosecutions are very likely before November 30. Israeli enforcement that demonstrably suppresses force-wide Polymarket betting would weaken the assessment of continued operational leakage.

Direct US-Iran bilateral negotiations are very likely not to occur through year-end, absent a jointly agreed venue with security guarantees.
State-sponsored cyber operations are converging on legitimate cloud platforms to defeat conventional detection. China-linked Mustang Panda deployed a signed kernel rootkit filtering network telemetry from security tools, while Pakistan-linked APT36 routed command and control through the Google Sheets API. At least two additional cloud-API C2 campaign disclosures are very likely within 90 days. Moderate confidence reflects a consistent quarterly disclosure cadence.
Counterintelligence enforcement is intensifying across Eurasian fault lines, with Russia sentencing a man to 23 years for spying for Polish intelligence and Kosovo simultaneously detaining an admitted Serbian BIA agent. Additional NATO-service espionage prosecutions are very likely before November 30. Israeli enforcement that demonstrably suppresses force-wide Polymarket betting would weaken the assessment of continued operational leakage.
