Russia engaging in daily ‘hybrid warfare’ against Britain, warns GCHQ chief telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/2…

‘Anti-tech violent extremism’ has the potential to fuel large scale protest activity, civil unrest, and extremist acts, in the next 5 years, according to unpublished reports issued by US authorities. wired.com/story/us-law-e…

A sobering example of how information domain threats can have real world impacts, and a reminder that intimidation and harassment can be both an indicator of threat, and the threat itself, in particular for executive protection. 404media.co/township-leade…

Sure, if policymakers sometimes don't trust conventional all-source assessment, they're certainly not going to trust assessments generated by LLMs. And that's why all-source assessment won't be replaced.

EXCLUSIVE: Australia’s top spy agency’s assessment of the alleged Bondi attackers in 2019 demanded travel alerts be placed on them and their file revisited if they associated with extremists - but in a catastrophic failure, the men were able to move freely through known terror hotspots. An investigation has uncovered a series of failures that meant the Akrams slipped through the cracks of law enforcement and security agencies prior to the Bondi terror attack on December 14, 2025. In a critical lapse, the Australian Federal Police and Border Force, which sits within Home Affairs, were aware of Naveed and Sajid Akram’s travel to known terror hotspots but did not pass the intelligence onto ASIO or NSW Police, which issued the gun licenses.  It can be revealed that the Akrams travelled to Uzbekistan - a known gateway to terror hotspot Afghanistan - in late 2022 or early 2023. The investigation, conducted for the upcoming book Bondi Terror, also discovered that ASIO’s travel alert was only placed on the Akrams' first port of call, rather than their final destination. This is a matter that is likely to come under scrutiny by the Royal Commission this week. Full story here: skynews.com.au/australia-news…

White House staff & reporters who traveled with President Trump to China were instructed to discard phones used during the trip before departure. It cannot be confirmed if the CEOs that joined the trip received the same instruction. Good OPSEC. msn.com/en-in/news/ins…

HAYI has also been linked to targeting of a Bank of America office in Paris, which triggered multiple US financial services organizations to implement enhanced security and resilience measures across Europe, including remote working in France and Germany.

Associated attacks include an IED attack against a Bank of New York Mellon office in Amsterdam, Netherlands, claimed by Iran-aligned threat actor Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI).

A stark reminder that terrorism is not limited to the ‘public sector’ - private sector interests can be directly targeted by terrorist acts. justice.gov/opa/pr/iraqi-n…

@sadarlo1 @JoeTruzman

The alleged master mind behind Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI) have just been found out: Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi. What’s crazy is that I found online posts on Wednesday that accused him of being behind HAYI. He was planning attacks in America 🔗⬇️

@stick631 @navigatorLR Thanks @stick631 - let’s get in a petition now for a panel next year on the evolution of protective intelligence in corporate security…..

@MikeEvansIntel crushing it at the @navigatorLR Edge Conference.

The always insightful @stick631 sharing with and wisdom on Protective Intelligence at @navigatorLR’s 2026 EDGE event.

We must act to address the threats the UK faces from foreign states and their proxies. The Tackling State Threats Bill will create the power to designate and sanction these organisations, disrupting their activities and deterring them from operating on British soil.

NEW: The US has conducted at least 25 intelligence-gathering flights off the coast of Cuba since early February, per data from @FlightRadar24 Check out my analysis: cnn.com/2026/05/10/ame…
