Go ahead put me on another list.
US adds hacktivists, social media manipulators to top intel threats
The US counter-spy agency said Monday that cyber and surveillance
technology advances have multiplied the intelligence threat to the
country, putting hacktivists and online manipulators on a par with
venerable foe Russia.
The biennial National Counterintelligence Strategy for the first time
singled out anti-secrecy organizations, independent hackers and Islamic
extremist groups as espionage threats requiring close attention.
The new strategy report adds Cuba, Hezbollah, Islamic State and
Al-Qaeda as groups able to undertake intelligence operations against the
country.
In addition, it lists "ideologically motivated entities
such as hacktivists, leaktivists, and public disclosure organizations,"
and foreigners with no formal organizational affinity who also conspire
to steal sensitive data and intellectual property.
"They are conducting malicious influence campaigns using cyber
operations, media manipulation, covert operations, and political
subversion to sow divisions in our society, undermine confidence in our
democratic institutions, and weaken our alliances."
Time to drag a trailer down to the property soon?
