„In Gaza, we are not just witnessing a humanitarian crisis. We are watching the moral fabric of international institutions unravel. The West, the UN, the entire system built to uphold human dignity—they’ve failed. Worse, they’ve revealed that perhaps they were never truly committed to those values when it mattered most.“

🕵️ Prodaft is taking an aggressive new approach to threat intelligence:
They’re buying access to major dark web forums — including admin and moderator accounts — in exchange for cryptocurrency.

Here’s what they’re offering:
💸 Crypto payments, no questions asked
🔐 Full anonymity for sellers
📊 Access to five top-tier forums
🎯 Prioritized payouts for higher access levels

The move aims to give security teams unprecedented visibility into cybercriminal operations — but it also pushes ethical and operational boundaries.

Would your team use intel gathered this way?

5 former prosecutors who worked on #criminal cases stemming from the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol are urging the disciplinary office governing #lawyers in Washington, DC, to open an investigation into #Trump’s controversial pick to be the district’s top prosecutor.

The filing is the latest turn in the nomination of #EdMartin to be US attorney for DC & comes as Senate Democrats have pledged to delay any confirmation vote.

‘Nothing has changed… or I haven’t changed…’ paraphrasing… it sounds scary to me, considering the increasing responsibility…. I believe he has seen too much already… towards the end… facial expressions…

Let me know how you perceived the interview if you get a chance…

Continued thread

Georgetown #law professor Steve Vladeck, who closely tracks the work of #SCOTUS, said the #SolicitorGeneral’s office has “spent its entire history building a reputation of trust & credibility that the Supreme Court relies upon & takes very seriously.”

“The question is, who is left? Who is going to argue against positions that might be good for team #Trump but are inconsistent w/the standards of the office — & potentially the long-term interests of the government?”

Continued thread

The #Trump administration’s demand for loyalty, as well as its removal of prosecutors & #FBI officials deemed not supportive of the president’s agenda, goes against that tradition, outside analysts said. So too does #Trump’s directive that #PamBondi “seek sanctions” against attorneys & law firms that the administration believes are engaging in “frivolous, unreasonable & vexatious litigation against *the United States* [trump].”

…The #SolicitorGeneral is the #DOJ’s fourth-highest-ranking official, sometimes referred to as the “10th justice” because that person is so often involved in the cases the court accepts.

In addition to presenting the government’s views at the court, the office develops the department’s broader appellate strategy. It has traditionally hired lawyers from politically diverse backgrounds to provide an array of legal perspectives.

Continued thread

The people planning to leave the #SolicitorGeneral’s office have various reasons, according to several people close to the workforce who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss upcoming personnel changes.

Many are uncomfortable or turned off by directives from #DOJ leaders, including AG #PamBondi’s demand for “zealous advocacy” of #Trump’s agenda, these people said.

Many lawyers who argue for #Trump at #SCOTUS are heading for the exit

At least half of the front-line lawyers in #SolicitorGeneral’s office, the elite #DOJ office that represents the Trump admin at the Supreme Court, are preparing to leave or have already announced their departures — an unusually high amount of turnover at a time of intense #litigation involving Trump’s initiatives & as his emergency requests pile up at the high court.
