One of our recommendations to nerds to keep up to date with stuff —allocate a binge read day.
1. Bookmark or save interesting tweets
2. Every Thursday, or Tuesday, or whatever, spend an hour, or more reviewing stuff.
3. Flex newly learned stuff to seem cool and badass

A group of Threat Actors operating under the monikers; IntelBroker, Sanggiero and EnergyWeaponUser claim to have compromised Acuity Inc, a Federal tech consulting firm based out of Reston, Virginia.
The Threat Actors claim to have successfully exfiltrated sensitive information on United States government personnel, and United States allies.
Some data shared shows information on individuals from the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State. The information shared shows employee full name, government e-mail address, and government phone number (and extension if applicable).
Other snippets of data show alleged plans or operations by the United States government (not entirely sure, they're just snippets of text)
We have not verified the authenticity of these files... we're also not entirely sure how we could verify these files 🤔
We are not sure of the size or scale of the files either.

Today a couple of media outlets picked up on a patent filed by Roku in 2022. In a brief summary: a patent which allows Roku to slipstream advertisements via the HDMI cable. It would allow content to be paused so advertisements can be displayed.

Today we learned RecordedFuture's Insikt group is pronounced 'In-sikt' and NOT 'in sync'. No idea where we got the 'N' from – but we did. For several years we thought the organization was named after Justin Timberlake's hit 90's boy band
