Finally we are able to analyze the most common URL use from a subset of #Hamilton68 accounts. Many many thanks to @Saill for all the scripting work on this. We now have a ton of additional data that can be analyzed. #infosec #opsec #osint
This is the top 25 URLs used by the #Hamilton68 subset of accnts focused on Russian Geopolitics. The most recent 3000 tweets from each of 125 accts were analyzed. 375000 tweets total. Fairly expected results & shows the prominence of Youtube & Facebook use. #infosec #opsec #osint
Further down the list in top 35-56 range revealed more interesting sites being used by these accnts. Ria(.)ru is a fairly new Russian media site housed at the same location as the Russian IRA troll farm. Stalkerzone is well known disinfo site #infosec #opsec #osint #hamilton68
here is the newest #Hamilton68 wordcloud for this Russian geopolitics focused subset
Please keep in mind disinfo trolls want to blend in with everyone else & do use main stream sites like Guardian, Fox News & NYT. They will tweet out mundane & normal stuff 2 create “white” noise. So I’m not saying this is a list of disinfo sites. Only the top sites they have used

This #smollett story is a runaway train and a complete mess. Actual CPD detectives saying rumors circulating are not true. Safe to say at this point anything could be true and anything could be false. #disinfo #fakenews
When you have these as your major #Twitter nodes & 9% bot participation 4 the #Smollett story I think you can safely say its best to turn off #foxnews & #cnn, let the dust settle and come back in a few days to let "sourced" reporting bubble to the top. #infosec #disinfo #fakenews
OMG ... I mean why not double down on the crazy and say one of the 2020 presidential candidates also helped plan a hoax which may in fact itself be a hoax on #smollett. Who knows? #walkaway from unsourced news reporting #disinfo and #fakenews #infosec #psyops

Last wk we noticed that an entire subset of our #Hamilton68 accounts had been suspended in mass. We have seen suspended accounts from time to time but not a whole set. To be clear these were bot accnts so it made sense they would all get suspended at once. #infosec #osint
We determined from our archive that they were mostly suspended around January 26th and this was the last tweet in our archive. #infosec #hamilton68 #osint
Some searching on Twitter & we found that our fellow bothunters @conspirator0 & @ZellaQuixote had already put out this excellent thread on Jan 24th outing most of the accounts in this small botnet. I apologize 4 missing it at the time #infosec #hamilton68

Just before Christmas we looked at #Hamilton68 accounts who focus on Russian geopolitics and how they were stoking the #giletsjaunes conflict in France. We noticed a new hashtag #integrityinitiative (red arrow) .. #infosec #osint #opsec
We didn't think much about this over the holidays but revisited it in early January 2019. Turns out the the #integrityinitiative had become even more prominent and prompted additional research .. #infosec #osint #opsec
We did a hoaxy analysis of the #integrityinitiative hashtag on January 5th and noticed two major nodes of well-known #Hamilton68 accounts .. @Ian56789 and @ShoebridgeC ... #infosec #osint #opsec

Last month a friend asked me "what's the best resource you've read thus far on human decision-making?" 1/
After thinking about it, I decided to recommend her one of the first such resources I ever encountered, seven years ago: Doug Hubbard (@hubbardaie)'s How to Measure Anything. 2/ amazon.com/How-Measure-An…
While I don't agree with every word of it, How to Measure Anything is quite possibly the most important and useful book I've ever read on any topic. Here's why. 3/

Innovation isn’t just a buzzword, it is hacking the establishment. Few things are as rooted as gov’t, making hacking that much harder. Innovation in gov’t looks like failing (small) a whole lot in between successes. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to fail in gov’t. @GavinNewsom
2/ If the Office of Digital Innovation is to have a chance at being successful then it has to hack the gov’t ecosystem. The legislative process, budget, oversight, but mostly the culture of bureaucracy that rewards the status quo. @pahlkadot
I had the privilege of leading one of California’s early digital service initiatives. We failed a lot. I failed a lot. But with many supportive partners we made major strides in procurement, open source, educating, agile, workspace, cloud native, and so many more. @CA_CWDS

The anatomy of actual Active Measures and disinformation
Step 1: tweet something factually based
Step 2: sit back and watch them come out of the woodwork
Step 3: capture their data
Step 4: then analyze their data
As in here’s the diffused network for @TrumpSonsLives
Step 5: tag in another analyst to either confirm or disprove what you think the data represent @MillennialPriml what way you?

I don’t even know if that’s humanly possible to tweet that much and I personally tweet a lot, especially after work & on the weekends
See randomized sampling

I think we should cut our artistes a slack. Unlike in the States when a celebrity performs for a politician it mustn’t be seen as a shared belief in ideology. It is just a paid commercial. Avoid blaming them for the woes of such political party or politician. I may be wrong. 🤔
Morals you say...listen we are wired differently. Snoop Dog didn’t raised his kids based on the social construct you see in his music videos. Steve Jobs kids don’t use the iPad or have socialmedia accounts. Many TV stars don’t raise their kids in reality TV shows. It’s for others
You must never get high on your own supply. Only outliers who are not commercial represent their beliefs publicly in a world that demands that you lie to them. We bury the realists and praise the fraudulent. Not every artiste put themselves out there. They feed your fantasy.

So you might have heard that Facebook has suspended #CambridgeAnalytica and Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) for fraudulent use of #data extending back to 2015. newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/03/s… Here's how to check your privacy and ad settings on @facebook. A thread.
Anyone that uses Facebook has probably given permission to an app at some stage. Maybe you use FB to sign into other sites, or you wanted to see some future predictions for fun. That's grand, but they retain access to your data even after you stop using them. Here's how to review
First go to your drop down menu & click Settings. Then click Apps. Review these carefully. For e.g. I use Kickstarter and 9gag frequently so those are grand, but see the ones like Klout and Giveaway widget? I'll want to remove permissions for those, even if only I can see posts.
