Treasury just sanctioned two Russians, three companies, three planes, and a boat in connection with malicious cyber activity and election interference. treasury.gov/resource-cente…
These are the first sanctions issued under the election meddling EO that Trump signed last September. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
In addition to the new sanctions described above, Treasury also re-sanctioned existing targets, including the IRA's financier (the owner of those planes and boat), under the new authority specifically for election interference.

Obviously most people's attention is elsewhere right now, but...

Scoop: Popular electronic voting machines contain a host of security vulnerabilities, @VotingVillageDC said in a report set for release today and provided first to Politico. Lots in here. politico.com/newsletters/mo…
.@VotingVillageDC has officially released the report that we brought you this AM, with lots of details about what hackers found in currently used voting systems: media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2027…

Press event starting shortly w/ @mattblaze @HarriHursti @MaggieMacAlpine @RonWyden @RepSpeier
Wyden says he will use report "as a kind of lodestar" as he tries to convince colleagues to pass election security legislation in the next few weeks.

"What I saw this summer — and I have literally been going colleague to colleague to colleague — ought to open everybody’s eyes."

Microsoft will announce free Windows 7 support for election offices through 2020, @snlyngaas scoops: cyberscoop.com/microsoft-wind…

This seemed inevitable. Inexpensive feel-good PR for Microsoft.
Windows 7 free support news is official: blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/…

“We want to make sure that Windows 7 end of life is not in any way an impediment to a secure and safe election," @JanNeutze says at #CISASummit. "We want to do our part.”
One impediment to deploying these updates: the need for recertification each time.

“There is a question mark at the moment as to how these updates could actually get deployed," Neutze says. "We have been actively talking to folks at the EAC as well as others in the community."

Scoop: @EACgov commissioners recently voted not to reappoint the agency's controversial executive director Brian Newby: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2019/0…

D and R members deadlocked 2-2 over whether to give Newby (and GC Cliff Tatum) a second term).

Background: politico.com/story/2019/06/…
As we reported in June, Newby (a Republican) has faced extensive criticism for micromanaging staff, stymying election security work, and being too deferential to EAC Chairwoman Christy McCormick, a former Russian hacking truther.

Background link again: politico.com/story/2019/06/…
When they voted over email, McCormick insisted that the commissioners vote on Newby and Tatum (a Democrat) as a package, per a House aide, so that if they lost a Republican appointee, they'd also lose a Democratic appointee.

Both men's four-year terms expire on October 22.

على مستوى العالم كله و حتى بالمقارنة بأعتى القوى الدولية المنافسة أو المناوئة للقوة الأمريكية العظمى:

من يختلف معي في أن #إيران ليست فقط أكثر من صمد .. بل هي أكثر من نجح - بنفسها و من خلال حلفائها - في تمريغ أنف #أمريكا في التراب على محطات طريق الصراع طويل بين الطرفين؟
بما أن #أمريكا أعلنت اليوم تطبيق حزمة العقوبات الأشد قسوة في التاريخ ضد أي بلد .. و بما أن الحماس الإقليمي ضد #إيران بلغ ذروته .. فالتوقيت إذاً مناسب جداً للعبة ظريفة:

التحرر من الإنحيازات و القناعات المسبقة .. و مراقبة نتائج المواجهة .. للحكم على جدوى السلوك الإيراني "الشاذ".
نص قرار حزمة العقوبات الأمريكية على #إيران بالتفصيل:
treasury.gov/resource-cente…

#أمريكا مخيفة جداً.. مرعبة.. قوة إستثنائية هائلة لا يُمكن مواجهتها.. و من حق #إيران الآن ترتعب من المشهد المهيب للمسؤولين الأمريكيين و هم يعلنون بداية تطبيق العقوبات الأشد قسوة بالتاريخ!

صح وللا غلط؟
