First up at #ACcyber, Amy Hess, of the FBI to talk about how the FBI's dealing with cyber threats.

"FBI approach to cyber is the consistent with experience and authorities."
Hess makes analogy to founding of FBI and automobile (as Comey did a week ago), talks about breadth of experience (but not about having to teach everyone to drive).

Also raises hybrid threats. Cites APT10 example.

Indictment here: justice.gov/opa/pr/two-chi…
Says China is going toe to toe with Russia in use of hybrid threats. Cites Russian hacking in response to attempts to punish Russia for doping in the Olympics.

Also, talks about Iranian hackers' use of SamSam.

Hess notes that the US issues red notices for indicted foreign nationals to make it more difficult to travel. Cites:

arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
Hess talks about dark market takedowns.

Also references use of sanctions when you can't get hands on victims.

Hess says must remind selves, victims aren't just countries, but people.
Hess urges companies to have:

-Incident response plans.
-Pre-existing relationships to FBI.

FBI realizes that companies face:
1. Losses from being victimized
2. re-victimization in the response process..
Hess notes FBI provides classified briefings to partners about potential threats.

Cyberthreat intelligence is a shared responsibility between government and private sector.
Hess runs through FBI structure to address cyber threats.

Encourages people to reach out and get to know FBI cyber agents, talks about agents deployed overseas.

Encourages everyone to report incidents to IC3.gov
Hess provided a useful status update on where FBI stands on cyber.

But, and this is me, not her, we calculated that despite the high profile arrests only 3 in 1000 malicious cyber incidents see an arrest. Read more here: thirdway.org/report/to-catc…

@CoryBooker, allow me to redraft your questions for you.

AG Barr, the founders and framers of the Constitution were deeply concerned about foreign interference in our political system from the beginning of our country.

1/
@CoryBooker "They were so concerned about it that the wrote a prohibition against foreign emoluments into our Constitution -- a document that both you and the President have sworn to uphold.

2/
@CoryBooker "That concern is also reflected in our campaign finance laws which outlaw campaign contributions by foreign nationals -- including in kind contributions.

Indeed, our laws make those contributions a crime.

Now we hear from David Koh from Singapore, their Commissioner of Cybersecurity.

Notes last year Singapore was #1 on global cybersecurity index, this year is #6. Notes that current #1, UK, has "nowhere to go but down."

#ACcyber
Koh notes that Singaporean population is *very* wired.

Notes the more wired we are, the more we need to secure our networks.

Cybersecurity is like the brakes on a car "You cannot drive fast without good brakes."
Notes that Singapore is a hub for finance and trade, and therefore a high target for cyberattacks.

Also, suggests that as a small wired nation, it can be a test bed for innovation in cyber.

Amy Hess, Executive Assistant Director, Criminal, Cyber, Response, & Services Branch at @FBI: "[Cyber attacks] have become more and more prevalent in every investigation, in everything we do. We see the threat evolving and growing every day." #ICCE 1/
"While the threat may be constantly evolving, the @FBI's approach has been consistent with our experience, our authorities, and our history," says Hess, noting the FBI was originally founded in 1908 to address the threats brought by a new technology: the automobile." #ICCE 2/
Noting recent cyber trends the @FBI has seen, Hess says "We've seen the emergence of a hybrid threat, as we call it, where nation states are hiring criminals to achieve their national security objectives using ransomware and other hackers' tools to do so." #ICCE #ACcyber 3/

Highlight of my day, a session with @Tash_Stanton @FBraithwaitePT AND @tendonpain! First up, A/Prof Tash Stanton...Maybe I’m biased? @AusPainSoc #AusPainSoc

“Everything we experience is influenced by things we don’t even know about” - showing the rotating mask illusion. Google it, it’s amazing, and even knowing why it works doesn’t change how it works

THREAD: Do you feel it? Something shifting? Accelerating? This week I keep hearing @TimothyDSnyder in my head. #Tyranny is on the move.
1. This week, the FCC voted to end #NetNeutrality despite its popularity. This give away to ISP's is more concerning than the normal kleptocratic giveaways of this regime because it directly affects media and public discourse.
2. Of course, we all knew it was coming. I didn't even wait for the news yesterday because I knew. I knew from Pai's appointment and the sham call for comments that they hid & then hijacked. I knew when they dumped the news the wed. before thanksgiving. Yesterday was confirmation
