@k_firsov @FearsOff @Hacker0x01 I don't know if it's connected, but many platforms (outside cybersecurity) used to have a blanket ban on UAE residents due to the EU AML blocklist. The EU recently removed the UAE from its list, but historically, the UAE has been on and off.

Maybe their ToS allow them to ban their users randomly, but not giving an explanation for the ban goes completely against the very ethos of ethical hacking/security research: trial and error, hard work, and a constant pursuit of improvement... how are we supposed to do that if we don’t even know what we did wrong?

I got permanently banned from @Hacker0x01. Account deleted. No explanation. Years of work gone overnight. Submission history, achievements, leaderboard ranks, every contribution I made to the security and crypto ecosystems through HackerOne. Wiped, like I was never there.

@nikitabier @noturtlesoup17 Please bring back "country of registration." Non-U.S. accounts are gaming the current system as expected. The App Store label can easily be spoofed by changing the iCloud billing address. Partial “country of registration” is better than nothing.

Spend enough time in Europe, and you'll notice that nobody talks like this. Spaniards will tell you their jamón is better than anything you've eaten. Italians will lose it if you order a cappuccino after 11am. The Irish will slag their own country all day but god help you if you say a bad word about a pint of Guinness. But "best country in all of human history" as a serious thing people say? Not really how it works over here.
derek guy@dieworkwear

do people outside the US say their country is the best in the world or is it mostly an american thing? like, do swedes say "sweden is the best country in all of human history?"

Spent last weekend exploring Wadi Nisnas with friends. Wadi Nisnas is a beautiful Arab-Christian neighborhood in Haifa, Israel, and the atmosphere there is incredible. Beyond the amazing food market, it’s a place where you see real coexistence every day - Christians, Muslims, and Jews living and working side by side. It's also a side of the region people rarely talk about: Israel is actually the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is growing and fully protected (maybe except for the UAE).

>15% of Israel is Russian-speaking, and Russia (taking the USSR into account) has historically been the largest source of Jews making Aliyah to Israel. The majority of Russian oligarchs are Jewish and/or are Israeli citizens. The early Zionist immigrants came predominantly from Russia and Eastern Europe. If anything, they are closer culturally to each other than to the U.S., with Israel being closer to the U.S. morally. But you are implying the religious difference. Poor attempt to mask your antisemitism.

@PaulSkallas I have never seen any actual craftsmen in Paris or France, for that matter, wear a shirt with suspenders for work. Strange choreography for a French company

@yoavdontmiss Israel can be a country that is weak on its own but uses money to maintain influence and power. Not complicated.

Select Committee on China
Select Committee on China@ChinaSelect·
🚨 NEW REPORT | @ChinaSelect has uncovered a vast, China-linked scam network defrauding Americans of $10 BILLION annually, driven by industrial-scale scam compounds. Across Southeast Asia, trafficked individuals are forced to carry out long-term “pig-butchering” fraud schemes, while billions in illicit proceeds are laundered through Chinese underground banking networks, cryptocurrency brokers, and shell companies operating across borders. The report finds that scam operations in Cambodia alone have trafficked upwards of 150,000 individuals into forced cyber fraud. More than 2,500 Chinese nationals have obtained Cambodian citizenship through opaque processes, reducing extradition risk and enabling deeper integration into criminal networks. chinaselectcommittee.house.gov/media/press-re…

I invited private industry partners to a conference with the Scam Center Strike Force this week in D.C. Working in parallel, government and industry will be unstoppable in fighting the cyber enabled and crypto investment scams, which are a scourge upon U.S. citizens and are funding Chinese transnational organized crime. @FBI @SecretService @HSI_HQ @USPIS_HQ @IRS_CI @DOJCrimDiv @coinbase @Google @Microsoft @Meta @Apple @zenlayer @silentpush @trmlabs @SpaceX

Interesting. I'm a former Soviet Jew and I have nothing but hate and disdain for the Soviet Union and its successor Russia. Former Iranian Jews seem to really care about Iran even though Iran is actively trying to hurt them. I wonder what's the reason for this difference?

@a_greenberg We need more whistleblowers, but $150,000 in donations is outlandish, given it's the bare minimum from escaped employees to help dismantle scam operations.

Mohammad Muzahir, aka Red Bull, the scam compound whistleblower and human trafficking victim whose bravery made possible the story below, now has a GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/support-whis… I'm in touch with the creator, who is legit. Grateful to her and to anyone who can donate.
Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places)@a_greenberg

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He proceeded to leak a huge trove of the compound's internal materials. Then he had to get out alive. This is his story. 🧵👇 wired.com/story/he-leake…

Iranians use a cyber cafe in Tehran. While the World Wide Web grows increasingly-popular, and available, the Iranian regime is considering ways in which to limit Internet use among its citizens.

🚨🖥️ SIGNALEMENT : Sami Selmane, franco-tunisien 🇫🇷🇹🇳 résidant à Neuilly-sur-Seine (92), est manager IT chez @SCC_Info, géant européen des services informatiques. Problème majeur : depuis plusieurs mois, Sami croyait pouvoir se cacher derrière l’anonymat du compte X @Sam_de_Niapolis pour diffuser sa haine des Juifs. Celle-ci s’exprime par un soutien assumé aux terroristes du Hamas et du Hezbollah, une apologie répétée des massacres du 7 octobre, des clichés antisémites sur le prétendu contrôle des Juifs, ainsi que leur nazification. ⚠️ Nous appelons Robert Vassoyan (@rvassoyan), directeur général de @SCC_Info, à prendre immédiatement les mesures nécessaires contre ce collaborateur dont les prises de position antisémites et pro-terroristes portent gravement atteinte à l’image du groupe. Un manager IT occupant des fonctions aussi sensibles ne peut publiquement soutenir des organisations terroristes et relayer une haine obsessionnelle des Juifs sans conséquences. ⚖️ Ces faits devront également être examinés par la justice au titre de l’apologie du terrorisme et de l’incitation à la haine raciale. 🚔 cc @SCC_UK @SCCJamesRigby @MenuGael @PoliceNationale @Prefet92 @Association_OJE @LICRA @ActionsAvocats @ObservatoireOjf @JCFromantin
