Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about the State Department taking to X to counter foreign propaganda. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismantled the State Department’s counter-propaganda office when he took charge, but it turns out that giving adversary states free reign online is a bad idea.

They also discuss how America’s lawful intercept systems are high value targets for Chinese hackers. It’s a big deal that part of the FBI’s lawful intercept system has been breached and it is high time that the security of these systems was reviewed.

This episode is also available on Youtube.
