A year ago today, Biden announced the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It ended at the Kabul airport where 1000s were left behind.

#ALLIES will tell the 20-year story of how the US failed its local eyes and ears in Afghanistan.

@BryceKlehm @GoatRodeoDC Premiering May 16th, #ALLIES will cover the time period from just before the invasion to now, and how veterans, advocates, lawmakers, and Afghans who made it to the U.S. continue to fight for those still in Afghanistan.

In the latest episode of #ArbitersOfTruth, @evelyndouek and @qjurecic spoke with @KAlexaKoenig about how a post on social media becomes evidence in a war crimes prosecution.

play.acast.com/s/60518a52f69a…
Although there have been "tremendous gains" in the past 7-8 years, @KAlexaKoenig says, the current conflict in #ukraine is a little like "building the airplane while you're flying."

The conflict has a huge amount of social media content, & investigators/platforms must take care
@KAlexaKoenig As @evelyndouek said, this episode is a masterclass in the different issues concerned with social media as evidence of war crime.

One big issue is the competing interests for platforms: preserving evidence of atrocities vs removing it due to the psych harm it causes to viewers

Big day - Law enforcement seizure and takedown of two major cybercrime forums, documents up on the site now thanks to @Alvaro_In_Tech

lawfareblog.com/document-law-e…
Let's dig into the first one--Indictment against Dmitry Olegovich Pavlov, an alleged operator and administrator of the servers used to run Hydra Market, “the world’s largest and longest-running darknet market”
Hydra was created around 2015 as "a result of a partnership... in order to compete with another Russian darknet market..."

The other market (not named) has been taken down, and now Hydra is too- bummer for criminals, I guess

Not even the plague can stop our editor in chief:

"It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the United States has never seen an account of a president’s conduct quite so devastating as the first nine pages of Judge David Carter’s opinion of Mar 28 in Eastman v. Thompson"
See also our thread about the text of the decision and read the document yourself 👇

And what our team wrote (Mar 3) when the Jan 6 committee filed a brief in this case arguing that Trump had committed the offense of obstruction: lawfareblog.com/now-will-justi…

Two new documents posted to our #January6 resource page by @rohini_kurup and @katherinepomps

Court order requiring John Eastman to turn over documents to the Committee, and Navarro and Scavino Contempt Report

Both found here: lawfareblog.com/jan-6-select-c…
For those catching up - the #Jan6 Committee wants emails sent or received by Eastman between 3 Nov 2020 and 20 Jan 2021 - Eastman had claimed privilege over some, and the court has ruled against him.
The big takeaway from this court order though, of course, is the judge ruling that Trump’s actions “more likely than not constitute attempts to obstruct an official proceeding.”

(Starts on Page 31, “i. Obstruction of an official proceeding.”)

On March 24, the Department of Justice unsealed two indictments against four Russian government employees for their alleged involvement in “two historical hacking campaigns targeting critical infrastructure worldwide.”

lawfareblog.com/justice-depart…
The two indictments are for United States v. Evgeny Viktorovich Gladkikh (June 2021) and United States v. Pavel Aleksandrovich Akulov, et al. (August 2021)
Let’s dig into Gladkikh first. He’s described in the indictment as an employee of the Russian Ministry of Defense and is charged with conspiracy to cause damage to an energy facility, attempt to cause damage to an energy facility and conspiracy to commit computer fraud.

Two major government reports were released this March on the issues of internet crime and ransomware.

Posted by @Alvaro_In_Tech: lawfareblog.com/two-major-gove…
@Alvaro_In_Tech First, the FBI released their internet crime report in which they say that “in 2021, America experienced an unprecedented increase in cyber attacks and malicious activity.”

Among the top: ransomware, business email compromise schemes, and the criminal use of cryptocurrency.
If you love a good graph, the FBI reports that the top state by both number of victims and amount of money loss is California, followed by Texas and New York. (Note that it is total, not per capita).
