Risky Bulletin

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about the State Department taking to X to counter foreign propaganda. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismantled the State Department’s counter-propaganda office when he took charge, but it turns out that giving adversary states free reign online is a bad idea.

They also discuss how America’s lawful intercept systems are high value targets for Chinese hackers. It’s a big deal that part of the FBI’s lawful intercept system has been breached and it is high time that the security of these systems was reviewed.
