Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.
"Israel’s Parliament passed a law on Monday that would allow the hanging of Palestinians convicted of deadly militant attacks, but experts say it almost certainly cannot be applied to Jewish extremists convicted of similar crimes."

New: We looked at how Russia is remaking occupied territories in Ukraine, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into roads, railways and ports to try and inexorably tie the region into their own, part of Putin's grand vision for what it calls "Novorossiya" www.reuters.com/investigatio...
The Kremlin is aggressively building out infrastructure in the occupied regions of Ukraine to enmesh them with Russia and facilitate military logistics. At the same time, the occupied areas' natural resources are sold off.

You can find a list of the domains and corresponding IPs we found here correctiv.org/wp-content/u...
This tool was being advertised on Russian hacker forums for less than 700 USD. We also found evidence that it was used in previous phishing campaigns targeting users in Ukraine and Moldova.
We identified around 30 domains that were likely part of the phishing campaign, all hosted by Aeza. But on these domains we also found something else -- a login panel for a tool called "Defisher".
Based on the attack on the former intel chief, we were able to trace the campaign to a Russian company that we've reported on before: Aeza. The hosting provider was previously used for a Kremlin-run disinformation campaign, as well as cyber attacks. correctiv.org/en/fact-chec...
