With all this talk about angry tribal dictators killing dissidents it is good to know that cyber shop Darkmatter (which gets 80% of their revenue from the UAE) doubled their revenue in 2018 to $400m and will expand to 900 employees. #ICantBreathe insurancejournal.com/news/internati…
Created in 2015 to secure UAE cyber, surveil Emiratis and sift big data, Darkmatter now offers KATIM... a smart phone. A "personal vault for your private communication" Ironically "In Arabic, the word KATIM stands for silence" #NoThanksImGood katim.com/katim-phone/
After running out of cool handles on CryptoHeaven, Erik Prince is betting on his app called Wickr. An app run by Nicolet D. Gibson aka Nico Sell/Montera Mountain Marketing the former PR shop for the CIA's In-Q-Tel and piXlogic #SeeATrend foreignpolicy.com/2017/09/14/why…
Three letter agencies demanded and got "Backdoors" into encrypted software and apps. Then those backdoors end up being FISA friendly. When hacked by enemies or criminals they become front doors. Cyber Nerdcos publicly feign outrage but secretly comply. pymnts.com/news/security-…
The CIA unwound the Khashoggi hit but somebody lied to @RepAdamSchiff about why assassin-vendor Mohammad Dahlan, wannabe merc-pimpster Erik Prince, boy-fiddler George Nader and UAE intel spook Hamad Al Mazrouei were talking to RDIF Dmitriev #HoldMyOneBeer dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
Mega-Spy Prince insisted he was traced to the Seychelles by super cool hollow volcano quality ELINT. The reality was a number of MBZ guests wondering what the hell he was doing there. Lo tech ground networks beats high tech spook stuff any day. Rice whipped his spy jammies down.
A new marketing campaign suggestion: tenor.com/view/silence-a…
And Dahlan just spent last month in Libya where he was sent by the UAE to coordinate with Tripoli Revolutionaries Brigade leader Haitham Tajouri. Can I get a bed check on Saif Al Islam Qaddafi? #BirdsOfAFeather
And the point of all this is to say that for forty years I have been learning what I need to know from friends rather than from a spy or a hack. #GroundNetworksRock #TheWorldsMostDangerousPlaces #DoUntoOthers
