Podcast Episode 109: What’s The US Freedom Army? Ask Russia.

This Security Ledger piece (and associated podcast) discusses new analyses of Twitter bot networks used in influence operations — including efforts to mobilize groups like a purported “US Freedom Army” — and skepticism about social platforms’ incentives to police bots. It also reports on a Cybereason honeypot designed to resemble industrial control systems that was compromised and subsequently offered for sale on criminal forums, indicating that profit-motivated attackers (not just nation-states) are showing interest in critical infrastructure.
