In which an analyst from CIA's Directorate of Analysis, writing under a pen-name, reviews my book ACTIVE MEASURES for the agency's in-house journal Studies in Intelligence — and what a remarkably perceptive review it is https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol-64-no-1/pdfs/Active-Measures-Information-Wars.pdf …pic.twitter.com/JtMsbd3nTc

As an aside, I remember sitting at my desk in London, back in August 2016, watching in disbelief and shock as Twitter *reinstated* a known intelligence front that was spreading harmful PII.pic.twitter.com/Vc4STWDRyv

Still reading, but already clear that SSCI Russian Active Measures, Vol 5, is very impressive work indeed, better than the Mueller Report https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf …pic.twitter.com/IfSbIV9G6e

Re: malware name “Drovorub”, which as
@NSACyber points out translates directly as “woodcutter” However, more importantly, “Drova” is slang in Russian for “drivers”, as in kernel drivers. So the name likely was chosen to mean “(security) driver slayer"https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/1293930221264142337 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
The level of detail in today's NSA/FBI advisory is truly stunning—my favorite thing so far: NSA casually reveals that Drovorub is the codename used by GRU itself (!), and even offers a step-by-step translation https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/press-room/Article/2311407/nsa-and-fbi-expose-russian-previously-undisclosed-malware-drovorub-in-cybersecu/ …pic.twitter.com/nFuWcR7s9z

Probably the best writing yet on Russian election interference efforts. There is no grand strategy or intent to destroy democracy. It’s mostly just trolling and hitting back for perceived grievances from the Westhttps://twitter.com/scrawnya/status/1291014175574106112 …

Maybe doctors, experts and facts are just going to lose the information war. So many of this country’s current problems can be tied to grifters drowning out responsible people disseminating real info. No real work has been done to fix it. Maybe it’s too late. Maybe lies won.

Running with mask comes with unexpected benefits. The tickling sensation on the forehead when cruising through clouds of tiny flies along the Reflecting Pool is weirdly enjoyable when you don’t breathe them in.pic.twitter.com/fpQCkAsAoI

Oh, you can do them both a favor and wear a mask, even when you run past us—or anybody else, really. (If you want to respond with a stupid reason for why not to, pls do so in words that I can explain to a 2 1/2 year-old. Thanks)
