NEW: A WIRED investigation of 911 calls placed from ICE detention sites across the US show a system inundated by life-threatening crises, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. By me & @dmehro.bsky.social. Free to read:

some other highlights: - this cluster tried to re-establish relationships after we disabled their accounts by creating new, similarly named accounts. very persistent! - if you thought their device linking phase was over, think again! susp apt29 groups looove this & want to make it seem more legit

We (@gabagool.ing - AKA gabbot) and I updated this with some more recent tomfoolery from this group. They continued the ASP campaign with evidence they responded to our initial publication. They were doing some sneaky calendar stuff that lead to adding a device to the target's O365 tenant.

“So ensuring [privacy] in a world where the authority to know us has been ceded to private actors who may or may not cooperate with one or another regime, who may choose to use that data to manipulate or to harm us or to exclude us from access to resources, is existentially important.”

more from me, @wxs.bsky.social (wxsbot), & @jsrailton.bsky.social about the ASP phishing attempts in this great piece by @timstarks.bsky.social. & kudos to @keirgiles.bsky.social for bringing attention to this, especially since it is targeting individuals vs orgs!

NEW: @citizenlab.ca and Google have details on a "sophisticated" and "novel" attempt by APT 29 to target a British expert who focuses on the Russian military by posing at the US State Department. @timstarks.bsky.social has the scoop cyberscoop.com/russian-hack...

So @gabagool.ing (who will henceforth be referred to as "gabbot") and I wrote some stuff on some ASP phishing campaigns: cloud.google.com/blog/topics/... Citizen Lab worked closely with one of the targets and shared their work on it also: citizenlab.ca/2025/06/russ...

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Russian forces have been building military infrastructure near the Finnish border, according to recent satellite imagery, in moves that could reveal their strategy for what happens after the Ukraine war.

Like I wrote yesterday, it's never been clearer that US aid for the Israeli military is morally indefensible, and there’s never going to be a better time than right now to stop defending it. That's true today, too.
