Plan a tabletop exercise on the cyber impact of a China invasion of Taiwan now, NSA Cyber's Rob Joyce just told industry leaders. "You may make business decisions today when you're not in the heat of that battle," Joyce says, warning "you will be better off." #China

Sorry, did I say 2023 for an invasion the other day? I think I may have misquoted the official, it's 2023 or 2022. While we're at it, could someone do something about TikTok please? Internal documents indicate that they were planning to use location info to run surveilance on Americans, not for ads or other services.

Major scoop from @DevlinBarrett: Mar-a-Lago classified papers held U.S. secrets about Iran’s missile program, U.S. intelligence work aimed at China, people familiar with the matter say.

Hey, the good news is that we only caught one possible spy poking around Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure that means there was no one else foolish enough to try. Oh, BTW, the House January 6th committee has officially subpoenaed Trump. And he is reported to have signed sworn statements verifying innacurate evidence of voter fraud.

Uhh, I'm sorry... what? "Peer review" originated in the 1970s? What? Here's the article.
