Hacking group Anonymous unleashed huge cyberattack on Russia. Released 10TB of classified Russian files to the public.

To facilitate a discussion in our weekly International Association of Defense Counsel's cyber and privacy section, I asked Perplexity to summarize cybersecurity and privacy issues created by Trump 2.0 / DOGE policies. It did a pretty good job. www.perplexity.ai/page/cyberse...

This should be interesting for the several hundred lawyers who'll be coming to Quebec City for the International Association of Defense Counsel's annual meeting; most of them are American. And shoutout to this U.S. lawyer who somehow thought relations over the border would improve under Trump.

Couldn't happen to a *cough* nicer bunch of guys: "The notorious imageboard 4chan is down following what appears to be a major hack of its backend. The hackers claim to have exposed code for the site, the emails of moderators, and a list of mod communications." www.404media.co/4chan-is-dow...

"But there would always be a question mark in the client’s head: Is my lawyer saying this because he believes it—or is the lawyer saying this because he’s trying to preserve his law firm’s settlement with the government?" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"A North Korean group that specializes in crypto thefts. Industrial sabotage specialists out of Iran. Scammers from China that have probably sent you a phony text or two. Ransomware extremists that just went underground. And spies. So many spies." www.wired.com/story/most-d...

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

AI is really more like Frank's RedHot; we're putting that ^$#% on everything. "People Cannot Stop Laughing At How Trump's Education Secretary Butchers The Pronunciation Of "AI"" www.buzzfeed.com/davidmoye/li...

Made it to Friday again, kids. Give yourself a hand, even if you didn't get to inbox zero.

Big Law has failed to stand up to Trump and now infosec is following suit.
