🚨 NEW: The sons of a powerful family with close ties to Iran’s new supreme leader control the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, transforming it from a startup into a conduit to the global economy used by both blacklisted state institutions and ordinary citizens.

I just learned this morning that the late Ryan Evans was credited with additional reporting for this story. Ryan was a security adviser to Reuters journos (including me) & was killed in a Russian missile attack. He was part of the team that found the Banksy work near Bucha. May he rest in peace.

Banksy has been unmasked (again). But does this major Reuters investigation actually tell us something new?

“That is what makes this story so delicious for the broader art world. Banksy spent decades embodying anti-establishment energy, yet the name now sits inside a highly organized commercial ecosystem of authentication, resale value, corporate structures, and elite demand.”

Trump repeatedly called journalists “the enemy of the people,” “human scum,” “very dangerous and sick.” Here is the painstaking work of a couple of #journalists doing the job of presenting facts, pursuing the truth for America & the world. So many journalists doing incredible work right now.

I'd normally be annoyed at Reuters for doing a fake out where they focus on Rob from Massive Attack, before explaining that Banksy is actually the guy the Daily Mail named years ago, but it's so well written and richly reported I didn't care www.reuters.com/investigates...

A terrific, well written exploration of Banksy. Tells a great story. Probably the best long form journalism I’ve read this year.

Who is Banksy? Reuters found a signed confession. www.reuters.com/investigates...

Banksy is one of the world's most popular, profitable and enigmatic artists. His identity has been debated — and closely guarded — for decades. Until now reut.rs/4cGMYnb

There, on March 2, the dead children were buried, creating row after row of 20 tidy rectangular holes in the earth. The strike killed 150 children, according to Iran's ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva (Reuters has not independently confirmed the death toll).

Our analysis intended to detect areas of potential strikes, using sat data from visible & invisible light spectrum, highlighted another area of ground upheaval: the town cemetery.

A Reuters analysis of multispectral satellite imagery also found no indications of other strikes within 5 km, suggesting the buildings were specifically targeted, rather than struck as part of a broad bombing campaign on the southern city.

Reuters has launched a new Visual Investigations unit, which I'll be joining on secondment for the next six months. I'll be drawing on the threat intelligence techniques I've studied on the cyber beat, as well as leaning on the various OSINT skills I've developed in information-scarce datelines.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) Palo Alto Networks opted not to tie China to a global cyberespionage campaign the firm exposed last week over concerns that the cybersecurity company or its clients could face retaliation from Beijing, according to two people familiar with the matter.
