(Jan 2019) Former NSA hackers went to work for the government of UAE:

“Some days it was hard to swallow, like [when you target] a 16-year-old kid on Twitter,” she said. reuters.com/investigates/s…
“Stroud said her background as an intelligence operative made her comfortable with human rights targets as long as they weren’t Americans.”

- an ex-NSA hacker who worked for UAE intelligence agency
They hacked a British journalist btw

Sometimes I search my old tweets and find gems like this I totally forgot about that got zero engagement bc I had around 150 followers in 2015. Funny enough, that Fox link is now a 404 but here it is in the wayba k machine web.archive.org/web/2015050201…
Now it’s impossible to know who those 20 - 50 accounts were that tweeted during both Ferguson & Baltimore protests (impossible to know then & now) but several people since then have told me about abusive trolls on here who were trolling those protests using fake sock puppets. 🤔
I should add that when I wrote this tweet last night, I assumed the anonymous data mining firm was tracking anonymous/pseudonymous accounts. If they were instead tracking influencers and known voices from BLM that’s a whole other problem.

The FBI issued a warning about hackers hacking smart TVs & Business Insider wrote about it but neither mentioned the 2017 FTC settlement when Vizio paid $2.2M for collecting viewer data from 11 million smart TVs without their consent. ftc.gov/news-events/pr…
Since 2014 Vizio was using used proprietary software to track up to 100 billion data points per day from more than 10 million TVs. They even remotely installed the software on older models. Data was stored indefinitely. How is a hacker worse than this? ftc.gov/system/files/d…
I hate to be that person "they didn't mention x" but the fear-mongering that your TV is gonna get hacked vs. the manufacturer hoovering up 100 billion data points per day per TV and selling them for profit is just... we're afraid of the wrong things.

Body brokering (the Red Market) is an industry I've researched for several years. Reuters did an outstanding investigative series. Remember 600K people under the age of 18 disappear in the US every year - that's not even counting adults.
