From the UK to Israel, the signs of Iran's malicious influence across the West are growing. Will the attempted hijack of an Israel-bound flight from Dubai be added to that list? On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks with Jerusalem correspondent Henry Bodkin and Israel-based OSINT specialist Tal Hagin about how the flydubai pilot and passengers fought back to prevent a catastrophic attack that could have sparked a fresh war. As Donald Trump calls the alleged attacker a “terrorist or a whackjob”, they discuss three scenarios for who was behind it, debunked conspiracy theories - and the implications for the Middle East. After OSINT company Golden Owl exposed an Iran-linked influence operation targeting Israeli voters ahead of the election, they break down Plus,, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Tehran was likely behind a plot foiled outside the UK's RAF Fairford airbase, and the US kicks out Iranian negotiators as peace talks stall.

Ukrainas historiske angrep, russiske raffinerier stenger og Gazprom-krysset er i fare

I denne episoden av Ukrainapodden tar Tormod Malvin Sæther og Jørn Sund-Henriksen et dypdykk i en uke preget av enorme russiske tap, historiske droneangrep og geopolitisk kynisme. Ukraina har iverksatt «Operasjon Vivaldi» ved fronten i Lyman, men en brutal OSINT-lekkasje på sosiale medier har ført til at russerne flyttet reservene sine, noe som fikk fatale og livsfarlige konsekvenser for ukrainske soldater på bakken. Vi ser også nærmere på det oppsiktsvekkende angrepet over 3000 kilometer inn i Russland, der ukrainske droner har siktet seg inn i nærheten av det uhyre viktige «Gazprom-krysset» i Sibir. Dette regnes som selve ryggraden i Vladimir Putins energi- og gassimperium, og et vellykket treff her kan lamme massive deler av russisk tungindustri og infrastruktur. Samtidig som russiske dieselraffinerier nå stanser produksjonen, fortsetter de russiske tapstallene å nå absurde høyder. Ukraina anslår over 1,5 millioner drepte og skadde, mens bekreftede tall for lengst har knust de sovjetiske tapene fra Afghanistan. Inkompetansen rår i de russiske rekkene, der rapporter sminkes av offiserer med «ølbriller», og høytstående generaler likvideres – muligens som følge av lekkasjer fra egne, korrupte rekker. Til slutt diskuterer vi Donald Trump og Trump-familiens urovekkende bånd til Kreml, etter at en russisk oligark i Putins innerste krets sponset det ekstravagante luksusbryllupet til Donald Trump Jr. på Bahamas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! Today I'm talking about Baby's First Neo — and to be crystal clear, I don't mean Keanu, and I don't mean the R&B guy with the hat. I mean the AI-powered pentest assistant from our pals at ProjectDiscovery. Also to be crystal clear: this is not a sponsorship, ad, partnership or anything of the sort. Just me sharing a thing I like so you can decide if you like it too. Here's what we get into: Why I didn't renew my ProjectDiscovery cloud subscription after a full year of running it side-by-side with Nessus — including the three things that ground my gears (one of which had me angry like the Hulk inside) The Palo Alto finding that made me plunk down a credit card and buy PD in the first place What happened when I actually told their team why I was canceling — and the surprise offer that followed How I set up my first Neo project, and the multi-paragraph prompt I fed it (spoiler: "please don't go rogue" was in there) Where Neo beat my manual process — and the two subdomains it found that I flat-out missed The OSINT recommendation Neo made about a job posting that I thought was genuinely smart My one big hesitation about the credit-based pricing model, and why a part two of this series is probably coming soon Then we close out with the tangent portion of the program: Grandma 7MS might be my neighbor soon, she bought a vehicle roughly the size of a small nation, and I'm asking for some good vibes on her house hunt.

Chris Kirschke spent 27 years in security operations before a venture studio's general partner asked him to run a company. His first answer was that CISO does not spell CEO. He took the job anyway, and Kyberis AI now runs a threat graph that pulls in any OpenCTI-compliant feed, commercial or OSINT, and exposes it to security agents through MCP. Jon and Chris start with what has to be true before any of that works. Chris borrows the thesis Jason Clinton laid out at Anthropic. If you can't trust the inputs, you'll never trust the output, and that holds whether the thing consuming the input is an L1 analyst, a 2003 IDS, or a threat-hunting agent. Then the good part. Chris has enabled write access on a production system exactly once in his career. Cisco NetRanger, shunning turned on, signature matched, ACL written to the downstream router. He watched a production system go from hero to zero in 7 minutes, and finding a way to power cycle a router that size took him longer than the outage. Sean Gray was in the data center with him, still in college. That's the story sitting under the question Chris now puts to anyone selling autonomous remediation. Are you actually going to give an agent write access? Also in this one. The engineer at Gartner who wired an anti-CISO agent to his own Gartner login, his tech stack, and his team's engineering bandwidth, so he can ask Claude to explain to his boss why they're not doing the shiny thing yet. Why Chris thinks the case for AppSec being dead is horseshit, and why the SIEM isn't going anywhere either. The hoodie-or-suit question he'd hand his younger self. And the product he'd write an angel check for tomorrow, which has nothing to do with security and everything to do with understanding what his teenage daughters just said to him.   Chris's ask is simple.

In deze speciale live-aflevering, opgenomen op Lowlands, staat de oorlog in Soedan centraal: een conflict dat weinig aandacht krijgt in de wereld. Presentator Esma Linnemann spreekt met journalisten, activisten en artiesten om de complexe oorlog gedetailleerd uit te leggen. Buitenlandredacteur Iva Venneman schetst de achtergrond van het conflict. Ze legt uit hoe de strijd ontstond tussen het Soedanese leger (SAF) en de paramilitaire Rapid Support Forces (RSF), twee voormalige bondgenoten die na de val van dictator al-Bashir in een gewelddadige machtsstrijd belandden. Vredesactivist Mekka Abdelgabar vertelt hoe de oorlog families verscheurt. Ook die van haar. Haar broers en neven dienen aan verschillende kanten van het front. Onderzoeksjournalisten Laurie Treffers en Erik Verwiel laten zien hoe zij met open-sourceonderzoek (OSINT), satellietbeelden en video's van sociale media oorlogsmisdaden reconstrueren in gebieden waar journalisten geen toegang hebben. Hun onderzoeksverhaal kun je hier lezen. Verder met muzikale optredens en persoonlijke verhalen van artiesten Maha, Abdulaal Hussein en Saffa Khalil.

Silicon Bites Ep385 | 2026-08-18 | The whole architecture of Russian military space power runs through one building, one cleanroom in Samara. This is a central node of the terror state and its illegal war, and Ukraine just hit it. The cleanroom is no longer so clean, and with this strike, Russia's efforts to develop an alternative to Starlink may have been consigned to the trash bin. Good riddance. At around ten to three in the morning on the fifteenth of August, the missile alert went off across Samara oblast. Nine hundred kilometres from the Ukrainian border. Deep in the Russian interior, in a city that had gone four and a half years of full-scale war without a single strike of this kind on its industrial zone. Minutes later, residents heard a jet engine overhead, then the detonation. By dawn there was a column of black smoke over the eastern edge of the city. Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the target himself that Saturday. The Progress Rocket and Space Centre. A core enterprise of Roscosmos. Struck, in his words on X, with Flamingo missiles — "Flamingo missiles were used.

In a world where images can be manipulated, eyewitnesses dismissed, and official accounts contradicted by what happened on the ground, proving what is real has never been more important.In this episode, Robby speaks with Vladimir Zaha, a threat intelligence researcher and volunteer contributor to the Bellingcat community, about the growing role of open-source intelligence in journalism, cybersecurity, conflict monitoring, and democratic accountability.Vladimir explains how OSINT investigators verify images and videos, geolocate events using seemingly insignificant details, monitor activity in active conflicts, and challenge false or misleading official narratives. He also discusses his work documenting civilian harm in Ukraine, investigating the actions of enforcement agencies in the United States, and helping analyse information that may eventually support legal proceedings.The conversation explores how OSINT can help cybersecurity professionals understand their threat environment, how artificial intelligence is changing the investigative process, and why human verification remains essential even as collection and analysis become increasingly automated.Send us Fan Mail

Social Engineering klingt erstmal nach ein bisschen Tricksen am Telefon. In Wahrheit geht es um viel mehr. Es geht um Vertrauen, Druck, Hilfsbereitschaft und um die unangenehme Erkenntnis, dass nicht nur Software, sondern auch Menschen angreifbar sind. Ein harmloser Support-Anruf, eine überzeugende Geschichte, ein bekannt klingender Name und plötzlich werden interne Informationen preisgegeben, die einzeln belanglos wirken, zusammen aber den Weg für einen echten Angriff ebnen.In dieser Episode sprechen wir darüber, wie Social Engineering in der Praxis funktioniert. Wir starten mit einem nachgesprochenen Fall aus dem DEF CON Social Engineering CTF und zerlegen danach die Mechanik dahinter. Wir schauen auf Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), auf typische Angriffsphasen, psychologische Hebel wie Autorität, Zeitdruck und Social Proof sowie auf moderne Fälle wie den Axios Supply Chain Angriff im Open Source Umfeld. Außerdem geht es um Phishing, Voice Cloning, Deepfakes, LinkedIn als Recherchequelle und die Frage, warum interne Informationen noch lange keine Identität beweisen.Wenn du verstehen willst, wie Angreifer nicht dein System hacken, sondern eine berechtigte Person dazu bringen, es für sie zu öffnen, dann ist diese Folge für dich.

Guest: Melissa Jones, SIU Investigator at Crum & Forster ("OSINT Millennial")Host Kelly Paxton sits down with Melissa Jones — insurance fraud investigator, OSINT trainer, and self-described "OSINT Millennial" — for a wide-ranging conversation about building a career in Special Investigations, the art of digital digging, and why connection (both online and on the ball hockey rink) drives everything Melissa does.Episode HighlightsFraudster Dinner Date Melissa kicks things off with an unexpected pick: convicted FBI spy Robert Hanssen, someone she studied in her criminal justice master's program. Kelly counters with the usual suspects (Charles Ponzi, Elizabeth Holmes) but appreciates the espionage angle.Who Steals More — Men or Women? A detour into gender and fraud data, including a striking stat Kelly cites from a colleague's fire department embezzlement research: women make up only about 3% of fire department staff but account for roughly 28% of thefts. Melissa admits her own SIU team doesn't currently track gender breakdowns — but wants to start.From Direct Bill Clerk to SIU Investigator Melissa traces her 12-year (and counting) career at Crum & Forster: a psychology degree from Ramapo College, an entry-level insurance ops job in 2014, a move into policy operations, and a leap into the Special Investigations Unit as an analyst in 2017 after spotting an internal job posting. She was promoted to investigator in 2022 and now works alongside a nationwide SIU team of 15–16 people.Why Insurers Have the Data Advantage Kelly and Melissa talk shop on how much visibility insurance companies have into patterns of behavior — from claims data to spending anomalies — and how that data gets put to work across property/casualty, auto, workers' comp, and even pet insurance claims.Building the "OSINT Millennial" Brand Melissa describes how she got into public speaking after approaching fellow investigator Joe Stevenson at a conference in Hersheypark in 2019, which led to her first joint presentation. She's since built her own social-media-investigations talks under the "OSINT Millennial" tagline, using only publicly available content (never her active casework) to teach audiences — including a recent stop in Leominster, MA that packed the room.Industry ShoutoutsOsmosisCon and Cynthia Hetherington — Melissa has FOMO for missing this year's conference and hopes to attend next year.Ritu Gill and other women in the OSINT/investigations space Melissa admires and reshares often.Christina Fiscella— noted for her work on gray-collar crime and elder fraud cases.Hank Asher/"Hank Venice" (as referenced in the episode) and Brian from Diligentia Group — mentors and friends from the investigations conference circuit.Age, Assumptions, and Social Media Investigations A deep dive into why investigators shouldn't assume older subjects are "off the grid" — and why understanding how each platform works (not just whether someone uses it) is the real skill in OSINT investigations.Fraud in Pop Culture Melissa's take: reality TV like Survivor is basically fraud and manipulation for sport. Kelly recommends checking out a Hacks episode (Season 5) with a surprisingly relevant survivor-style storyline.Investigative Philosophy: "Dig" and "Trust but Triangulate" Both hosts bond over shared investigator vocabulary — the instinct to "dig," and Kelly's own mantra, "trust but triangulate," as a more generous alternative to "trust but verify."Ball Hockey — More Than a Hobby Melissa opens up about her ball hockey career, playing internationally (including in the Dominican Republic) and around the U.S. (Nashville, Buffalo, Vegas), plus a women's league in South Jersey. She credits the sport with building a diverse, tight-knit community — and even a professional networking connection with a teammate who works in arson investigation.NJSIA Shoutout Melissa is a board member and incoming Vice President of the New Jersey Special Investigators Association (NJSIA), which is gearing up for its 35th annual conference and networking seminar in Atlantic City this year.

Trump is signaling a major arms deal with Turkey — even as the IDF reveals how a Hamas headquarters operating out of Istanbul has been coordinating terrorist attacks inside Israel. Meanwhile, explosive allegations suggest Qatar has secretly supported Iran economically and militarily while publicly playing mediator, and New York's Democratic primaries show DSA-backed candidates making alarming gains for the Jewish community. On the bright side, Israel's GDP has surged from $513B to $719B since 2023 while Iran's has cratered from $421B to $300B.

In this episode, we launch our new mini-series, How Technology Ruined Your Life, with the first chapter: The Persuasion Machine.AI has crossed an important threshold. Large Language Models are no longer just generating text, they are demonstrating the ability to influence, persuade, and even deceive humans at a level comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, other people.Drawing on a growing body of research into AI-mediated persuasion, we explore how conversational AI can adapt its arguments in real time, profile users psychologically, exploit emotional vulnerabilities, and personalise influence campaigns at unprecedented scale. What happens when propaganda learns to listen, respond, and optimise itself for every individual it encounters?We examine the emerging cybersecurity implications of AI-powered persuasion, from hyper-personalised phishing campaigns and deepfake executives to romance scams, insider threats, and influence operations. The discussion covers deceptive persuasion taxonomies, personality-based targeting, OSINT-driven psychological profiling, cognitive reflection as a defence mechanism, and why traditional security awareness approaches may be unprepared for a future where attackers can continuously learn how to manipulate their victims.In This Episode, We Discuss:The Persuasion Machine: How modern LLMs can adapt conversational tactics in real time, identify vulnerabilities, and influence beliefs using many of the same techniques employed by human propagandists, salespeople, and social engineers.Personalised Influence at Scale: Why AI changes the economics of persuasion by allowing attackers to hold thousands of tailored conversations simultaneously, continuously refining their approach based on each target's reactions.The Future of Social Engineering: Why phishing campaigns may evolve into dynamic conversations that adapt to suspicion, resistance, and uncertainty rather than relying on static lures and generic templates.The Cybersecurity Challenge Ahead: Why traditional awareness training may struggle against adaptive AI attackers, and how concepts such as cognitive reflection, behavioural monitoring, multi-channel verification, and persuasion detection tooling may become critical defensive controls.Show NotesSpecial thanks to our episode sponsor, Leeds based AI Consultancy specialising in AI Ethics, Security and Transformation NorthStar Intelligence - From Ideas to Impact.

Hey friends! Today we're going deep on external network pentesting — something I realize we've barely touched in however many episodes we've done. I'm currently in a long stretch of back-to-back external assessments, so it felt like a good time to talk about it. Here's what we get into: Scoping headaches — why the old "count your public IPs and multiply by a big hourly rate" approach drives me crazy, and how we actually scope external tests to be fair to everyone Web apps in scope or not? — this needs its own conversation before the test starts, and skipping it causes pain later Testing under real conditions — the debate around whether to request an allowlist vs. scanning as-is, and why I lean toward creating the best testing environment possible Multi-tool enumeration — why we run Nessus, Project Discovery, and Shodan together, and what each catches that the others miss Reporting the surface — why just walking a customer through what's exposed to the internet (ports, services, screenshots) has more value than I used to give it credit for SNMP and NTP findings — two protocols that keep showing up open when they really (probably) shouldn't be OSINT phase — how we've grown externals to include open-source intelligence work on the customer's domains, not just IP-level scanning WordPress hygiene — it keeps coming up on these assessments, and I've got some practical recommendations Dorking and metadata searches — using AI to quickly sift through publicly exposed documents for things attackers could use to pretext a social engineering attack Subdomain hijacking — a sneaky attack path I've seen in the wild that flies right in the face of all the "check if the URL is spelled right" advice we give users Even when the technical findings are pretty quiet, there's a lot you can do to punch up an external pentest report with stuff that's genuinely valuable to customers!

Who were the women who worked with Jeffrey Epstein? In Part I of this series, we look at Ghislaine Maxwell, transnational crime royalty as the daughter of MI6/Mossad double-agent and disgraced British media mogul Robert Maxwell, whose dying wish was to connect Maxwell with a young upstart in New York named Epstein.  Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT expert Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. We also discuss the analysis by investigative journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez that Maxwell was Epstein's handler in an intelligence long-game going back to the O.S.S., predecessor to the C.I.A.  Important historical context to our discussion: In 2011, then FBI Director Robert Mueller gave the "Iron Triangles" speech, revealing that transnational crime today works like an industry: fancy Western institutions like banks, law firms, and PR firms launder the money and reputations of shadowy crime and rogue intelligence syndicates, who are further served by their paid-off political operatives and politicians. In the speech, Mueller promised to crack down on the head of the Russian mafia, Semion Mogilevich, nicknamed the "boss of all bosses." Instead, Mogilevich was mysteriously taken off of the FBI's Most Wanted List in 2015, at a time the FBI was busting Russian spy rings in New York City, including Kremlin recruitment of college girls, including one Andrea may have encountered at a foreign policy event. A year later, Donald Trump, after decades of financial dealings with dirty Russian money, would be elected president with the Kremlin's illegal help. The 2016 election was a transnational coup decades in the making. In 1999, a high-level U.S. source leaked to the New York Times, undermining a sensitive intelligence operation between the FBI and MI6 to close-in on Russian mafia infiltration in the West, especially Mogilevich. In reporting from that time, The Guardian wrote:  "Author Jeffrey Robinson - whose latest book, The Merger, was published by Simon and Schuster last week - says that organised criminals such as Mogilevich are enjoying massive success using Harvard Business School techniques. 'Mogilevich typifies the new global criminal,' says Robinson. 'These men don't rob banks, they buy them. They take full advantage of globalisation, ill-equipped law enforcement and lax money-laundering laws - especially in Britain - using the City of London as their onshore gateway to the offshore world. 'This case is the tip of the iceberg. The City is an absolute cesspool and it will remain a cesspool because the people in charge don't care. Mogilevich is not the only one, the Bank of New York is not the only place."  Russian oligarchs are the Russian military industrial complex. Mogilevich oversees "weapons trafficking, contract murders, extortion, drug trafficking, and prostitution on an international scale," according to the FBI. It would be easy to buy-off U.S. officials, like the FBI's Charles McGonigal who was paid with our tax dollars to fight the Russian mafia, but was instead on their payroll. Intelligence agencies in the U.S. – the FBI and the CIA – have faced virtually no oversight and accountability for most of their existence, leading to the explosive Church Committee Congressional hearings, exposing that the CIA and FBI were involved in covert mind control experiments, illegal coups and science fiction-style assassination programs, and violent infiltration of political opposition groups on U.S. soil. You can learn more about that in our recent episode on the Church Committee Report – in the show notes. Listen to Part I now. Part II will be out this Thursday as Gaslit Nation's Bonus Show, with a continued discussion of the women who worked with Epstein, and what they may reveal about the Iron Triangles that illegally helped bring a Russian asset/traitor to power.

So Who Was? https://alisav.substack.com/p/epstein-likely-wasnt-the-boss-so February 5, 2026 from The Times: "Jeffrey Epstein was introduced to Ghislaine Maxwell by her brother Kevin as part of a plan for the paedophile financier to help the Maxwell family "move money", according to a previously undisclosed account of the origins of the scandal. Kevin Maxwell, once Britain's biggest bankrupt, was "instructed to meet Epstein by his father", Robert Maxwell, according to FBI records of conversations with a former business associate of the Maxwells that have been released by the US Department of Justice.  Kevin later introduced Ghislaine to Epstein and was responsible for placing her office in New York near Epstein after Robert Maxwell's death in 1991, the business associate is said to have claimed. Kevin allegedly negotiated an "understanding" with Epstein and Ghislaine whereby Epstein "would become involved in the Maxwell financial affairs". https://www.thetimes.com/article/0b5bfceb-3c2a-4ffa-aa2f-74e38a395a1e   US charges Russian 'spies' suspected of trying to recruit New Yorkers https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/26/us-charges-alleged-russian-spies-new-york   Traitors in the FBI https://www.gaslitnationpod.com/episodes/traitors-in-the-fbi/ "Donald Barr's 26-page O.S.S. file, obtained from the National Archives, gives a detailed account of his transition from the military to intelligence work.

C dans l'air du 25 mai 2026 - Missile hypersonique: Poutine affaibli, plus dangereux que jamais?600 drones et 90 missiles se sont abattus sur la capitale ukrainienne ce week-end. D'intenses bombardements qui ont fait au moins quatre morts, plus de 100 blessés et de nombreux incendies. Les dégâts sont d'autant plus importants que Moscou revendique l'usage d'un Orechnik, un missile hypersonique à capacité nucléaire. La Russie dit avoir frappé Kiev en représailles à l'offensive aérienne ukrainienne d'une ampleur inédite qui a touché, la semaine dernière, le territoire russe. Plus de 600 drones s'étaient abattus sur 14 de ses régions centrales, la Crimée annexée, la mer Noire et Moscou. Vladimir Poutine avait promis une réponse après une frappe de drones ayant fait 18 morts dans la région ukrainienne de Lougansk occupée par les Russes."Crime de guerre", "escalade progressive"... L'Europe s'est insurgée après l'utilisation du missile russe à capacité nucléaire Orechnik. Volodymyr Zelensky de son côté a demandé à la communauté internationale de faire "pression" sur la Russie pour la dissuader d'utiliser son arme. Et cette stratégie militaire de Moscou a également été vivement contestée au sein même du camp russe. Plusieurs blogueurs militaires nationalistes influents ont qualifié ces frappes d'« extrêmement coûteuses » et de « militairement inutiles », affirmant que le tir d'Oreshnik sur la localité de Bila Tserkva ne visait aucun objectif stratégique d'importance. Ces mêmes sources ont rappelé que cette escalade intervient alors que l'armée russe essuie des échecs sur le front.Sur le terrain, les gains territoriaux de la Russie en Ukraine ont progressivement diminué ces derniers mois, et l'armée ukrainienne frappe désormais régulièrement en profondeur sur le territoire russe, révélant au grand jour les failles sécuritaires du Kremlin. Des tirs qui provoquent un malaise et de l'inquiétude dans la population russe, et sèment le doute sur la capacité du pouvoir à protéger le pays.Alors que sait-on du missile russe « Orechnik » ? Pourquoi la Russie a-t-elle utilisé, pour la troisième fois contre l'Ukraine, ce missile balistique à portée intermédiaire (IRBM) ? Est-ce une marque de fébrilité de Moscou ? Des analystes OSINT affirment qu'un missile Oreshnik lancé par la Russie aurait touché une zone occupée par ses propres forces près de Donetsk, en plus de la frappe dans la région de Kiev. Que s'est-il réellement passé ? Pourquoi l'Ukraine et l'Europe s'inquiètent-elles autant ? Parallèlement, l'Assemblée nationale a adopté, la semaine dernière, une rallonge de 36 milliards d'euros pour la défense d'ici à 2030, portant les dépenses militaires totales à 436 milliards.Dans les faits, le format des armées ne devrait pas bouger : 210 000 militaires d'active, 225 avions de combat ainsi que 15 frégates de premier rang. Mais l'accent va être mis sur les munitions comme les missiles, les obus et surtout la production de drones. Les combats en Ukraine ont montré l'importance de ces engins depuis quatre ans, et les attaques mutuelles de ces derniers jours témoignent d'un changement de dimension.

Silicon Bites Ep320 | 2026-04-18 | Ukraine's war on Russian oil, the allies who begged them to stop, and the sanctions waiver that proved whose side Washington is on. On the morning of April 16th, a plume of black smoke rose from the Russian port city of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast. It stretched over a hundred kilometres out to sea. It was visible from space. NASA published the satellite image.The Tuapse Oil Refinery — a Rosneft facility, one of the ten largest in Russia, with an annual processing capacity of twelve million tons — was on fire. Ukrainian drones from the Security Service's Alpha special operations centre had struck fuel storage tanks, deepwater oil-loading arms, pipeline infrastructure, and a multifunctional radar station. The fire spread to neighbouring reservoirs and burned through the day. Ukraine's General Staff confirmed the strike. The OSINT project CyberBoroshno reported the fire had intensified. OSINTtechnical posted the satellite footage. The port of Tuapse handles up to ten percent of Russia's total petroleum product exports.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Kyiv Independent — "Ukrainian drone strikes turn major Russian oil refinery into 'volcano' along the Black Sea" (April 16, 2026) The Moscow Times — "Smoke Plume Rises Above Krasnodar Oil Refinery After Ukraine and Russia Trade Deadly Barrages" (April 16, 2026) UNITED24 Media — "Tuapse Oil Refinery in Flames After Drone Strike Hits Russia's Black Sea Port" (April 16, 2026)Ukrainska Pravda — "Ukraine's special forces hit Rosneft oil terminal in Russia's Tuapse with drones" (April 16, 2026) Ukrinform — "General Staff confirms hits on Tuapse oil refinery" (April 16, 2026) Mezha — "Ukrainian forces struck Tuapse refinery, fires and storage damage reported" (April 16, 2026) Al Jazeera — "Ukraine's long-range strikes prompt new Russian threat against Europe" (April 17, 2026)RBC Ukraine — "Ukraine hits four Russian oil refineries in one night" (April 18, 2026) EA WorldView — "Trump Administration Extends Sanctions Waiver on Russia's Oil" (April 18, 2026)----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

This week, we are joined by Santiago Pontiroli, Threat Intelligence Research Lead from Acronis TRU team, discussing their work on "New year, new sector: Transparent Tribe targets India's startup ecosystem." The Acronis Threat Research Unit uncovered a new campaign by Transparent Tribe showing the group has expanded beyond traditional government and defense targets to India's startup ecosystem, especially cybersecurity and OSINT-focused firms. The attackers use startup-themed lures delivered via ISO files and malicious shortcuts to deploy Crimson RAT, a highly obfuscated tool capable of surveillance, data theft, and system control. Despite this shift, the campaign closely mirrors the group's long-standing espionage tactics, suggesting startups are being targeted for their connections to government, law enforcement, and sensitive intelligence networks.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Tyler McBrien, and Renée DiResta to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Meta-verse of Madness.” On Tuesday, a New Mexico jury reached a $375 million verdict against Meta after a seven-week trial that focused on whether the social media company knowingly harmed children's mental health and facilitated child sexual exploitation through its algorithms. And just before recording, another verdict came down in a jury trial in California about whether Facebook and YouTube are too addictive in a way that harms an individual plaintiff in that case. Several other similar civil cases are set to go to trial in the coming months. What do we make of these verdicts, and do they signal a turning tide against social media companies for the algorithms that make them both profitable and (potentially) addictive?“SAVE-ing Face.” President Trump and Republican congressional leaders went back and forth this week over a deal that would put forward a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, or at least less controversial parts of it, despite Trump's threats not to sign any pieces of legislation until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. Trump views the SAVE America Act as vindication for his criticisms of the 2020 Election, but Republicans in the Senate have hedged and resisted his calls to blow up the filibuster in order to pass it. Instead, they now appear to have a deal in place that will allow less controversial parts of the funding for DHS to go forward—and for the funding for the most controversial parts, particularly ICE and removal operations, to go forward through reconciliation on what is likely to be a party line vote, along with select chunks of that SAVE America Act. Why is Trump so determined to pass the SAVE America Act? And what does the compromise he now appears to have reached with Senate Republicans mean for its future?“Poly Wants a Crack-up.” Flight monitors, pizza place trackers, and Google Earth—the past few years have brought open source intelligence, better known as “OSINT,” into vogue. Accounts on X have racked up millions of followers by “monitoring the situation” for news events spanning from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to natural disasters. But this explosion of OSINT accounts has brought a wave of disinformation, and coincides with the growth of online prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, whose bettors use OSINT to gain an advantage — and, at times, to manipulate the results. How has OSINT contributed to the online media landscape? And how has it hurt it?In object lessons, Tyler engages in some classic log-rolling with a recommendation of the new podcast, “Who Blew Up the Guidestones?” Molly digs even deeper into her collection of curiosities to find her vintage “Nuke ‘Em 'Til They Glow” hat.
