Make no mistake: this is exactly why it has been so difficult for Cuba to be free. Cubans are not only battling a military dictatorship in an entirely asymmetric fight, but for nearly 70 years we’ve also had to confront its network of agents, acolytes, and communists in Congress and across think tanks.

#ChequeaYEntérate | ¿Qué decía la investigación sobre la influencia de Rusia en América Latina sobre los influencers entrenados? 🧵⬇️ Más de 1.000 personas en Latinoamérica han participado en talleres vinculados a RT. Pero no hay evidencia de que hayan sido entrenadas para desinformar. La investigación no habla de “entrenamiento para mentir”, sino de algo más complejo: influencia a través de formación, redes y narrativas. Elaboramos este explicativo gracias a la investigación de @cazamosfakenews, miembros de la @factchecknet y de @LatamChequea como nosotros. Lee los detalles: ecuadorchequea.com/influencers-en…

“The Russian-financed podcasters are fighting with the Iranian-financed podcasters, while the podcasters financed by both Russia and Iran are quiet and waiting upon further instruction. Meanwhile, the podcasters financed by China have been caught using AI-generated academic sources to claim Uyghurs are doing just fine in Xinjiang, in some cases citing apocryphal texts attributed to the Russian and/or Iranian-funded podcasters. The Foreign Office is terribly pleased.” “Surely we are committed to combating foreign influence!” “Really, Minister! We’ve found the perfect solution to disinformation: monetization. Now that everybody is on somebody else’s foreign payroll, no one agrees on anything anymore because they literally cannot afford to. Free speech is billable hours. Foreign influence thus negates itself.” “What appalling cynicism.” “Yes, we call it public diplomacy.”

NEW: Costa Rica designated #Hezbollah, #Hamas, Houthis & IRGC as terrorist groups. This helps law enforcement disrupt & prosecute illicit networks. As @GAFILAT assesses #CostaRica's safeguards, this signals seriousness about addressing Iran-backed threats. fdd.org/analysis/2026/…

Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) cyber actors are exploiting vulnerable routers worldwide to intercept and steal sensitive military, government, and critical infrastructure information. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI recently disrupted a GRU network of compromised small-office home-office (SOHO) routers used to facilitate malicious DNS hijacking operations. The FBI and the following partners are releasing this announcement to warn the public and encourage network defenders and device owners to take actions to remediate and reduce the attack surface of similar edge devices: U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and international partners from Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine. Understanding the DNS Hijacking Operations Since at least 2024, Russian GRU 85th Main Special Service Center (85th GTsSS) cyber actors — also known as APT28, Fancy Bear, and Forest Blizzard — have been collecting credentials and exploiting vulnerable routers worldwide, including compromising TP-Link routers using CVE-2023-50224. The GRU actors changed the devices' dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) / domain name system (DNS) settings to introduce actor-controlled DNS resolvers. Connected devices, including laptops and phones, inherit these modified settings. The actor-controlled infrastructure resolves and captures lookups for all domain names. The GRU provides fraudulent DNS answers for specific domains and services — including Microsoft Outlook Web Access — enabling adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) attacks against encrypted traffic if users navigate through a certificate error warning. These AitM attacks would allow the actors to see the traffic unencrypted. The GRU has harvested passwords, authentication tokens, and sensitive information including emails and web browsing information normally protected by secure socket layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS) encryption. The GRU has indiscriminately compromised a wide pool of U.S. and global victims and then filtered down impacted users, especially targeting information related to military, government, and critical infrastructure. Tips to Protect Yourself The FBI and partners have released relevant guidance and technical indicators, including NCSC-UK cybersecurity advisory "APT28 exploit routers to enable DNS hijacking operations" on 7 April 2026 and CISA's Edge Device Security webpage. Users of SOHO routers are encouraged to upgrade end-of-support devices, update to latest firmware versions, change default usernames and passwords, and disable remote management interfaces from the Internet. All users should carefully consider certificate warnings in web browsers and email clients. Organizations that allow remote work should review relevant policies regarding how employees access sensitive data, such as using VPNs and hardened application configurations. Additionally, organizations may consider incentivizing employees to upgrade outdated personal devices involved in remote access. Report It If you suspect you have been targeted or compromised by a Russian GRU cyber intrusion, report the activity to your local FBI field office or file a complaint with the IC3. Be sure to provide details about your router, including device type and DHCP configurations. Visit IC3.gov for additional details.

Today the FBI and @TheJusticeDept announced Operation Masquerade, a court-authorized technical disruption of Russian GRU infrastructure used to steal government, military, and critical infrastructure information. Since at least 2024, a cyber unit within Russian military intelligence – tracked as APT28, Fancy Bear, and Forest Blizzard – has conducted a DNS hijacking campaign worldwide. The GRU compromised routers used in homes and businesses to steal emails, passwords, and authentication tokens of high-value intelligence targets. Given the scale of the threat, we needed to act. The FBI operation cut off GRU access to compromised routers in the US and prevented re-exploitation. The #FBI will continue to work with international and private sector partners to identify GRU cyber activity and impose costs on state-sponsored actors who target the American people. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

Cuba has long served as a haven for Medicare fraud fugitives, but for years there have been recurring allegations that the regime may be actively involved in orchestrating or facilitating these schemes.

Today, we hosted a key conversation on the impact of disinformation as part of Russia’s strategy in Latin America, and its implications for Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. The event brought together distinguished experts including David A. Satter, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, and Nicolás de Pedro. A discussion marked by the relevance and urgency of this issue. #TheCubanMuseum

Calla Walsh was a teenager when she was invited to go to Cuba. Now she’s a voice on Iranian state TV. @RafaelaSie interviews @FPJaySolomon about his investigation into the 21-year-old radical: thefp.com/p/meet-irans-2…

Kinda at a loss for words here and hoping there’s 50 articles today about what a bad decision this was. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Cuba is not just a symbol; it is a real security threat. From espionage to backing U.S. adversaries, the regime operates against American interests right in our backyard. wsj.com/opinion/cuba-i…

Hoteles de lujo, vuelos en business y cadenas de oro: el fiasco del convoy a Cuba abc.es/internacional/…

Andy García llegó a USA siendo apenas un niño de 5 años, con la bendición de conocer la libertad a una edad temprana. Esa libertad le permitió crecer, soñar, construir una carrera y vivir con la dignidad y la solvencia que merece todo ser humano que emigra dispuesto a luchar. De esa misma raíz nace el exilio: cubanos esparcidos por el mundo, pero unidos con dolor, memorias, y el anhelo de una Cuba libre

The entitlement is staggering—flying into our country, turning poverty into a performance, then retreating to five-star hotels owned by the same military that profits from repression.

Some people in America love to talk about “privilege.” This is it—turning what others were forced to endure into a photo op. What these groups choose to do as “solidarity work” treats as voluntary something Cubans were forced to do for decades. What is a choice for them was an obligation for us. In Cuba, programs like trabajo voluntario and escuelas al campo were not optional—they were enforced by authorities as part of civic and political life. Even minors were sent during the summer to work in the fields, often for weeks or months, with no pay, and parents had no real way to refuse.

🚨🚨 أول انشقاق لسفارة إيرانية وسفيرها! رفعت السفارة الإيرانية في عاصمة الدانمارك، كوبنهاغن، علم "الأسد والشمس"، وقد طلب كامل طاقم السفارة، والسفير نفسه، اللجوء السياسي. هذه هي أول سفارة تنشق!

@MailynSpeaks 😂😂

Another sleepless Fridays for Cubans all over the world. 👀

From @WSJopinion: The U.S. can help topple the Cuban regime and rescue its long-suffering people, but only if President Trump avoids the mistakes of Barack Obama on.wsj.com/3NKnr2h

@ShawnLarkinBlue Is that Punta Uvita?

Here is when I big time got on CCP blacklist in Costa Rica due to their IUU fishing ramping up big time to establish invasion beachhead. None of the many film shoots here since ever mention IUU fishing in this dolphin hotspot. But Andrew Wight was a badass and showed the truth.

The first global media show featuring Shawn Larkin, the #LarkinDolphinProtocol, and the dolphin mega pod hotspot of Costa Rica, filmed in 1999 and released worldwide on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, the most viewed wildlife documentary media on earth at the time/ 1/2
