Google has a main problem now as once benign API keys to work with Maps and Firebase now also allow Gemini access and can expose a whole lot of user data they didn't previously had access to Almost 3k of these are exposed online trufflesecurity.com/blog/google-...

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Nailed it.

OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade. Lying we won't & then invading anyway is a tradition I maintain to this day.

Gisèle Pelicot was drugged and raped repeatedly by her husband, Dominique Pelicot — who also invited dozens of men into their bedroom to rape Pelicot. In a candid and emotional interview, Pelicot opened up about the trial that shocked the world. nyti.ms/4rR0DfF

❗️Zelenskyy: "A great mistake is to allow an aggressor to take anything. I do not want to be the president who repeats the same mistakes." "This was a great mistake right at the beginning, from 2014. I can even say it was earlier — when they attacked and occupied part of Georgia,

oh ffs people just use Signal like @evacide.bsky.social says

A Norwegian home owner was tricked into installing highly advanced surveillance cameras pointed at Northern Europe's only LNG-plant, Melkøya. The cameras have been running 24/7 and sent data to an Italian company now under investigatin. Cameras include advanced thermal sensors.

I’d like to meet that guy whose job is to bookmark everything I post or reply and to forward it to the regime propaganda media. 💅🏻

🚨 The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the AEZA Group. Listen to my podcast with Active Measures where I discuss Russia's collaboration with cybercriminal groups and their role in influence operations. AEZA is linked to Op. Doppelgänger & Blacksprut, a major dark web marketplace omny.fm/shows/active...

In this week's episode of the Active Measure Newsletter's podcast I was invited to discuss the content of our joint investigation with @dfrlab.bsky.social and @checkfirst.network on the Pravda Network and the consequences of the poisoning of LLMs & the targeting of Wikipedia omny.fm/shows/active...

Last year, Russia imported 5.4 MILLION shipping containers. After today’s historic attack, every single one is a potential weapon that Putin is terrified of. Not only has Ukraine neutered Russia’s long-range air capability today, but they just crippled its supply chain & economy. Utter genius.

💥🎙️In a leaked audio, Viktor Orbán's defense minister says Hungary's army is being reshaped “to break with the peace mentality and move toward phase zero of the road leading to war.” It's unlikely he means a war against Russia — he was a business partner of Russia's Transmashholding. 👇Thread.👇

At least 30 Ukrainian journalists remain in Russian captivity as of April, IMI reported, with little known about their health conditions or whereabouts. Multiple reports have revealed that Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) are tortured and killed while in Russian captivity.

EPP calls for sanctions on Ivanishvili, non-recognition of GD parliament, and backing Zurabishvili as the only legitimate representative of the Georgian people. It also calls on the GD to set a specific date for new parliamentary elections.

Ever wondered how many “Pravda” articles go live every hour, where they originate or the paths they take? With @vchatelet.bsky.social we decided to build the first Pravda Dashboard offering real‑time windows into Russia’s “Portal Kombat” disinformation network #osint #russia #disinformation

Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) detained a russian spy in Kyiv who was preparing terrorist attacks near defense facilities.

Russia’s push for control over the occupied Abkhazia is evident in reopening the decades-closed Sukhumi Babushara Airport and a test flight from Moscow. Read more by my colleagues @sopogelava.bsky.social and @vchatelet.bsky.social:

What do #Wikipedia, #LLms, & #X have in common? They’ve all been quietly infiltrated by the Pravda network—a sprawling web of pro-Kremlin sites posing as news outlets. @vchatelet.bsky.social BlueSky explores #PravdaNetwork w/ @checkfirst.network in this week's the Source: bit.ly/3EcgvpZ

If the West — the UK 🇬🇧 in particular — doesn’t act now with targeted sanctions, it’ll be too late to hurt the dictatorship before it cements its rule and fortune. Time is running out.⌛️

[Hybrid warfare] 🧵hey @viginum.bsky.social , here is our take: Global Kombat, the Russian one-stop shop for influence goes global alleyesonwagner.org/2025/03/25/g...

NEW! Two former U.S officials overseeing Ukraine policy raised alarms over the potential shutdown of a vital Yale unit that has played a key role in gathering evidence on russian war crimes in Ukraine, as the program will run out of funding this weekend👇🏻 kyivpost.com/post/49579

🇬🇪Georgia is quietly undergoing a dramatic geopolitical shift. Under Georgian Dream and its informal leader Bidzina Ivanishvili, the country is accelerating its alignment with Iran (and China and Russia)—abandoning its Western orientation. 🧵A thread on why this matters. 1/16

Subjugation is exactly the right word @orelb.bsky.social

NEW 🚨 The #Pravdanetwork—a Russia-linked disinformation operation—has infiltrated #Wikipedia, AI chatbots, and #X, spreading pro-Kremlin narratives globally. @vchatelet.bsky.social & @checkfirst.network reveal the scale of this content pollution: bit.ly/3R6XW9l

Last weekend I tried to get a correction from Matt Taibbi on a basic “mistake”: claiming a report I wrote was source of the stat that 126MM people saw Russian influence op content on FB. Rather than correct, he fought me. He made more “mistakes”. Hilarity ensued. open.substack.com/pub/reneedir...

Two excellent lecturers, Ira Kherkheulidze & Giorgi Tsertsvadze, have been dismissed from Tbilisi State University on political grounds. Both are exceptional educators and principled citizens. Academic freedom... [1/2]

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Now BBC reports both ships on fire and crew abandoning ships. FU. Hope they make it... Great reporting from BBC here: www.bbc.com/news/live/cg...

🧵My former world literature lecturer was arrested near Rustaveli yesterday while sitting in front of the Tbilisi Opera, reading a book after his university lectures.

March 7 marks 100 continuous days of protests in 🇬🇪. There will be no end to the all-encompassing crisis without new, free & fair elections, and the release of the regime prisoners. 1/

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

1 year ago, after #AlexeiNavalny ’s death, surges of scams were posted to Facebook impersonating the Navalny team, Putin’s political opponents, or posing as credible news sources. @vchatelet.bsky.social & Kristina Gildejeva investigate: dfrlab.org/2025/02/25/n...

Once again, it’s open season on women and minorities in America—and this time, it’s by design. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten. A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders. A historic disgrace.

🚨 New report! In collaboration with @dfrlab.bsky.social , we reveal the global expansion of #Russia’s so-called "Portal Kombat" network—an influence operation laundering pro-Kremlin content across Europe, Africa, and Asia. First exposed by @viginum.bsky.social a year ago.
