13 internet domains used to target U.S. persons, including current and former security clearance holders with access to classified and sensitive U.S. government information, were seized today by federal authorities. “These domain seizures offer a glimpse at how foreign actors can use promises of easy money to lure Americans into revealing sensitive or classified information that they are duty‑bound to protect,” said Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg. “Anyone approached online with offers of easy income for vague ‘consulting’ work should treat those overtures with extreme caution and remain vigilant for warning signs of malicious targeting.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Speak out against the Chinese Communist Party, and they will try to destroy your dignity with weaponized AI porn. A chilling Newsweek investigation has unmasked a massive, state-linked cyber-campaign deploying graphic, AI-generated deepfakes to terrorize and discredit female human rights activists globally. Tech giants like Meta and OpenAI have explicitly traced these coordinated, multi-year harassment networks back to individuals associated with Chinese law enforcement. This digital "sex kompromat" is deliberately engineered to exploit misogyny, manufacture shame, and force female dissidents out of geopolitics entirely. The real-world fallout for these targeted women is horrifying. Laura Harth, an activist who helped expose an illegal Chinese police station in New York, has been flooded with explicit deepfakes scattered across the internet. Su Yutong, an exiled Chinese dissident in Berlin, wakes up nearly every day to new AI pornography bearing her face, which has even incited strange men to stalk her at her front door. Similarly, Canadian-based commentator Sheng Xue had explicit fakes emailed to attendees at a democracy event while she was actively speaking on stage. But Beijing’s strategy of humiliation is beginning to backfire. Instead of retreating into isolation, these brave women are choosing to break the taboo, completely reclaiming the narrative by taking the fake images public to expose their attackers. As Harth fiercely stated, she does not identify with the images at all because they are not her, but rather an image of the CCP. #UnveiledChina #HumanRights #DeepfakeAI #PressFreedom #CyberHarassment #CCP #WomenInPolitics #SafeguardDefenders newsweek.com/for-exposing-ch…

He used to fix pipes. Now he reads the Russian army’s mind. Meet the Ukrainian plumber who became an intelligence analyst. Callsign “Lys” — “Fox” — is a plumber and gas welder by trade. Today he sits in a small room near Ukraine’s front line and listens to Russian radio traffic. He hears Russian assault troops asking their commanders for water and being told to crawl forward instead. He hears wounded Russian soldiers being abandoned by their own. He predicts Russian assaults before they begin — by listening to the silence between the words. He works alongside commander “Shonni,” whose unit has suppressed nearly 11,800 Russian drones in a single year with mostly homemade equipment. ArmyInform spent time with them. This is what the radio war actually sounds like. 🧵

Russia shut down part of the secret surveillance system guarding Putin and his inner circle. Engineers switched it back on only after sealing it off from the internet. Russia acted after Israel used AI on Iranian cameras to find and kill Khamenei — FT. 1/

My letter to the Prime Minister

A careless code blunder just blew the lid off Beijing’s multi-million dollar AI propaganda operation targeting the West. France's digital interference watchdog, Viginum, has officially exposed "Fawn Mianju," a covert network of 13 multilingual fake news sites running on advanced automation and generative AI. The sophisticated network was completely compromised after a computer engineer working as a Senior Project Manager at China's state-run CGTN Digital accidentally left his login credentials exposed in the code. This operation, which expanded on findings first uncovered by U.S. cybersecurity firm Graphika in 2025, operated with deep financial backing. The domains were registered in Beijing, hosted on Alibaba Cloud, and utilized expensive infrastructure alongside paid plugins to artificially manipulate search engine rankings. Using digital keys linked directly to AI language models, the network automatically scraped CGTN articles, lightly rewrote them, and republished over 2,300 articles, often within less than an hour of the original state media broadcast. Sites like the French-language "Actu Méridien" were weaponized to manipulate public opinion across 89 countries, heavily targeting Western audiences and Francophone African youth. The articles aggressively peddled pro-Beijing narratives, painting China as the undisputed leader of the Global South and green energy transition while explicitly telling Western readers that aligning with Chinese interests would bring them massive benefits. Despite the cutting-edge tech and heavy state funding, the operation was an organic flop. The articles struggled to breach 15,000 views, with nearly 40 percent of its top social media engagement traced back to fake accounts in Burundi whose sole purpose was to artificially inflate the content. While the reach was limited, French authorities warn that the operation exposes Beijing’s rapidly escalating capability to launch fully automated, stealth disinformation campaigns designed to quietly erode Western democratic alignment. #Disinformation #CyberSecurity #France #China #AIPropaganda #Geopolitics #Viginum #NationalSecurity

🦔Leonardo is a $17 billion defense contractor. It built a system called SignalTrace that clips sensors onto the license plate readers already mounted on street poles, overpasses, and police cars across the US. Every time you drive past one, the sensor grabs the Bluetooth and WiFi signals from every device in your car, ties them to your plate, and logs the time and location. Your phone, your AirPods, your kid's tablet. All of it goes into the same file. A friend rides with you once and their devices are linked to your plate. Leonardo has sold this to police departments since at least 2023. There is no federal law covering it, no opt-out, and no warrant requirement. My Take None of the pieces here are new. Your phone has always broadcast a signal. The license plate cameras were already there. Leonardo just connected them and found a buyer. Nobody had to break a law or build anything from scratch. They assembled a surveillance system from parts already in place and sold it before anyone noticed. Most people found out this week from a 404 Media investigation. Leonardo received the patent in 2024. By the time you hear about something like this, the deals are done and the sensors are on the poles. That's how it works now.

NEW: More than $2 billion in foreign money is fueling the war on American data centers. Bernie & AOC's data center ban is China's dream come true. While Beijing builds AI infrastructure at record speed, they're funding the movement to kill ours. Data centers are the backbone of the AI race. America needs to build, not raise the white flag to Beijing.

Today marks the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, when the Communist regime sent tanks to trample peaceful pro-democracy protesters. Their bravery will not be forgotten, including the man who stopped a column of tanks. “Since that June day, I have been inspired by one of the most iconic figures of the latter half of the 20th century, even though I have no idea of his name. Like the rest of the world, I just call him Tank Man.” @yangjianli001

We are everywhere @CNN just got rare access to Ukraine’s deep-strike drone command — and what they saw has no parallel in modern warfare. No central headquarters. No single factory. No fixed target Russia can hit. “We have no common centre. We are everywhere.” Dozens of long-range drones tracked in real time on a single screen. AI-assisted software coordinating thousands of simultaneous airborne assets. Decoy drones flooding Russian radar — each one looking exactly like a cruise missile, forcing Russia to burn through its shrinking air defence stockpile chasing ghosts. Ukraine didn’t build a drone programme. It built one that cannot be destroyed. #Ukraine #UAF #DroneWarfare #ModernWarfare #CNN
