This is a thread about the therapists using artificial intelligence to make therapy better—and how this pioneering new approach to mental health care could lead to more people getting better, and staying better. trib.al/GlYUNIV

Kevin Cowley was plagued with poor mental health for his entire adult life after surviving the horrific Hillsborough disaster in 1989, when 94 English soccer fans died in a crowd surge. theguardian.com/football/hills…

He suffered flashbacks and insomnia, and blocked out the worst of it by drinking. He tried therapy in 2004, but it didn't help.

Since 2018, the US Justice Department has been engaged in a controversial law enforcement and counterintelligence effort to fight Chinese economic espionage. In the most comprehensive analysis of cases to date, we reveal how far it has strayed. trib.al/x7AJ6mN

Our findings demonstrate the “disproportionate impact on Asian Americans and the immigrant community,” says one attorney. “This is resulting in a brain drain from and distrust towards the United States, which is counter-productive to national security.” trib.al/x7AJ6mN

@propublica

This is a short thread about how the ransomware epidemic is a new-age iteration of the old-age extortion problem. 🎧 LISTEN to the full podcast episode of The #ExtortionEconomy, part one of a series we produced with @propublica. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@propublica

@propublica Ransomware technology might be new, but this is not the first time there has been an epidemic of extortion and ransom.

⏪ In the episode, podcast host @meghann takes us back to Italy in the late 1960s, to the start of a 20-year period there known as The Years of Lead.

@propublica

@propublica @meghann Beginning with labor strikes in 1969, it was a time of significant political unrest in Italy. Right-wing and left-wing paramilitary groups terrorized the Italian people with bombings, shootings, and an epidemic of kidnapping that peaked in the mid 1970s.

@ProPublica

Introducing The #ExtortionEconomy, a 5-part podcast series with @ProPublica that looks at the money, people, and technology behind the explosion of ransomware that is delivering hundreds of millions of dollars to cybercriminals around the world.

@propublica

@propublica This is a podcast about ransomware... but it's not really about ransomware.

@propublica

@propublica It's not about securing your password, and it's not about enabling two-factor authentication. It's not your IT manager telling you how to avoid a phishing attack.

Cyberattacks are becoming a “when, not if” reality. In the final block of sessions at #CyberSecure, we'll be providing you with strategies to help your organization fix security vulnerabilities and take the critical first steps after a breach happens.

@cobalt_io

First up is Alex Jones of @cobalt_io. He's discussing how your organization can reinforce its security strategy to better identify and address security vulnerabilities. #CyberSecure

He's discussing five themes:

-It's not a zero sum game
-It's not a technology problem (it's a people problem)
-The solution requires people and process innovation (the tech is there already)
-It's complicated, but not impossible
-We're all in this together
