🔥If a link utilizes URL shortener like TinyURL or Bitly, input link into a URL expander service like Link Expander or URLEX. If expanded link looks suspicious - mimicking a local news site but not being quite the same, don’t click link -forward it to phishtank@cpj.org first🔥
🕶Attackers create tailor-made messages that are sent to a specific journalist. These messages convey a sense of urgency and contain a link or a document which the journalist is encouraged to click on... once you click- tracking is engaged 😳

💥BOOM💥There it is... Tuesday eve on Trump’s prime time address to the Nation Trump will declare a National Security Crisis👇@PressSec preempted the announcement😳
🙄I’m sure they threw the ‘humanitarian’ crisis in there at the last minute.... because we all know they “don’t really care”....
🚨When @realDonaldTrump declares that we’re in a National Security Crisis, is he going to send out a FEMA EMERGENCY ‘Presidential Alert’ text to make sure we don’t travel to any States along the Southern border⁉️😂

@OldGrunt0351 🔥Looks like anybody with info on Erik Prince needs to speak out now and join the party. Perhaps we can discuss Libya a bit more and Prince’s and Putin’s RSB’s mercenaries and Oleg Krinitsyn’s role in the attack on our embassy to frame Clinton⁉️cc @knowledgevendor
@OldGrunt0351 @knowledgevendor 😳An admission from Kritnitsyn (Spetsnaz) that RSB mercenaries were in Benghazi... it’s likely that they were there in 2012 as well. A reminder that Clinton asked for more funding for protection for our diplomats and @GOP denied it. It’s almost as if...🤭 reuters.com/article/us-rus…
@OldGrunt0351 @knowledgevendor RU PMCs allow “legal” participation of Russians in private military companies AND also enable Kremlin to create PMCs “legally” to achieve military & political goals outside RU -like RSB in Libya or Wagner AKA Prighozin’s AKA Concord interference in our election‼️Mystery case⁉️🤔

🔥Konstantin Rykov, Artem Klyushin, Yulia Alferova and Maria Katasonova... If you ignore them you are missing the key to Trump’s election win🔥 FANCYBEAR GRU cc ⁦@rykov⁩ ⁦@ARTEM_KLYUSHIN⁩ ⁦@AlferovaYulyaE⁩ ⁦@KatasonovaMaria⁩ nationalcompass.net/2018/05/31/kon…
The Kremlin, is filled w stodgy old men.. How did 28 yr old Rykov get a position in the Duma⁉️Putin was losing the war on propaganda and Rykov was brought in to reverse it. @McFaul recognized this while he was ambassador
@McFaul👇This is interesting.. Rykov made it look like Putin had much more support than he actually had... Think about this in terms of Trump’s comments on the wall today about how people who aren’t getting paychecks don’t care about the shutdown. It’s propaganda...

3) Mexico purchased this software and is directly linked to disappearances and targeted journalists. I am certain other countries have done the same. I am focusing first on our neighbors who are being targeted.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

#Pegasus spyware, which transforms a cellphone into a mobile surveillance hub, could have been deployed against a range of journalists and civil society actors in Mexico, KSA, Bahrain, Morocco, Togo, Israel, US, and UAE.

How to protect yourself? [Thread]
cpj.org/2018/10/cpj-sa…
#Pegasus gives the attacker the ability to monitor, record & collect existing & future data from the phone. This includes calls and information from messaging applications and real-time location data. The spyware is able to remotely activate the camera and microphone.
@citizenlab
Pegasus is designed to be installed on phones running iOS, Android, and BlackBerry OS without alerting the target to its presence. Journalists will likely only know if their phone has been infected if the device is inspected by a tech expert.
