Very troubling: A Swedish newspaper reports that at least 30 Chinese doctoral students at Swedish universities had to agree to “serve the interests of the regime” and “never participate in ‘activities’ that go against the will of the authorities." There is also a requirement that the student’s guarantor, likely a relative, cannot leave China for an extended period while the student is abroad, and that there is a financial penalty for students who contradict the agreement. https://thepienews.com/news/chinese-students-signing-loyalty-pledges-arrival-sweden/#.Y8lTfEhtRp4.twitter

Incredibly important new report by my @citizenlab colleagues on Iran's "legal interception" mobile system https://citizenlab.ca/2023/01/uncovering-irans-mobile-legal-intercept-system/

" If implemented fully as envisioned in the documents we reviewed, it would enable state authorities to directly monitor, intercept, redirect, degrade or deny all Iranians’ mobile communications, including those who are presently challenging the regime."

EXCLUSIVE: Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture and death

It’s #CyberMentoringMonday!!!! Are you looking for a professional mentor or to learn more about InfoSec? Are you experienced and willing to ‘give back’? Use this thread and hashtag to connect!

Many of you are probably familiar with my work to compile a list of all companies destroyed by a breach

I've decided to start a separate list to also document human deaths related to cybersecurity incidents.

Why create this list?

Even moreso than company failures, I predict this will be an area where we'll see myths run rampant while the facts struggle to keep up. Even more than company failures, I think it's important to accurately track this (which hopefully won't be a fast growing trend)

Why now?

There are a few distinct cases where deaths are alleged to be directly caused by cybersecurity attacks, and other indirect allegations. Enough to get started on a list and start investigating, but not so many that building a list would be too challenging or overwhelming.

We can also break down warming between land and oceans. Land areas, where pretty much everyone lives, have been warming 50% faster than the world as a whole, and have seen closer to 1.8C warming since the preindustrial era:

If you are in the US, please don't lose your job to climate activism! We need you! Climate activism is becoming less necessary. ~90% of Dem and even ~60% of GOP voters already think that we should take much stronger action on climate change.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/05/26/key-findings-how-americans-attitudes-about-climate-change-differ-by-generation-party-and-other-factors/

Increasing those numbers to 95% and 80% still won't make a difference if politicians won't act.

Helping more Black folk vote will have a bigger impact than an awareness demonstration that could cost you your job.

Push left.

If "let's expect a different result from the same politicians" were going to work, it would have worked already. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Get better politicians.

The problem of getting politicians to act on climate change isn't as hard as we are making it for ourselves. It's only this hard if we're trying to change politicians' minds, instead of trying to change politicians.
