“RIP Five Eyes? Global Spying Network Under Threat”

by Kit Klarenberg on Global Delinquents on Substack

“While the CIA and MI6 are well-known for working in lockstep, Five Eyes is the most intimate expression of this transatlantic espionage bromance, exclusion from which would drastically reduce Britain’s already evaporating international status”

@bob_zim @micahflee @heiseonline @golem Makes sense.

  • After all, the whole #IMSIcatcher system can be detected by passive #SIGINT as it's an active attack on mobile networks.

I wounder if I can get a compatible device in #Germany as well...

  • Bonis points if that device has a freely reprogrammable #IMEI to allow hiding it's identity.

#Russki_SIGINT longread is now out, gentlemen and it caused quite a stir, as the notorious Russian spy satellite Olymp-K2 suddenly came drifting into the segment of our research [0° to 15° east] . Special sort of #SIGINT sat performing dangerously close approaches to intercept the satellite bus *steering commands* of the Eutelsat teleports. All sat targets of the Vienna station included.

Had to compile a thread in English over there...

While I'm no longer in the IC and can't confirm my suspicions, I simply don't think it's that plausible that everything is flowing as normal in Five Eyes. I can see why people would *say* it is. But an American intelligence & CI apparatus run by malicious, compromised kooks Gabbard, Patel, Ratcliffe, Trump, is one you need to put strong filters on, going both ways. #FiveEyes #intelligence #SIGINT #HUMINT

@jt_rebelo @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I'd call #Ukraine "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already leverage domestic #Fiber & #GSM networks as well as procuring entire transponders for exclusive use.

Yeah...
Whilst I am not a fan of #AI which I think will in the long run, will be detrimental to humans, I am far from the "AI Slop" luddites.

But when #deepseek killed their web login a few days back. I was extremely sceptical of loading the app on my device.
Thank you for doing the gods work and verifying my concerns.

I think the #Australian #sigint mob might have done a similar analysis because only a couple of days ago they issued a directive banning it off Government devices.

The Webby interface was under constant DOS attacks, so that might have accelerated app only deploy.
