Trump's firing of U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield is being referred to as an "expanding national security purge" but let's be honest. This isn't about national security any more than firing Gen CQ Brown & Adm Lisa Franchetti was. This is about fucking over women and POC who are the best of the best. This is an expanding attack on women and POC. It's not "national security" anything...except weakening it. As always, Putin is thrilled. #military #DOD

As Trump's allies start turning on his DEF Sec, Jennifer Rubin explains how Pete Hegseth's tenure will get much worse—& why it'll become untenable for Trump & the GOP.

Trump’s top advisors discussed war plans in an insecure chat, a scandal that continues to shake the admin. This comes as a poll finds that 74% of Americans see the leak as a serious problem, incl 60% of Rs.

Last week, while reviewing detected lookalike domains, one in particular stood out: cdsi--simi[.]com. A quick search pointed him to a legitimate U.S. military contractor, CDSI, which specializes in electronic warfare and telemetry systems. It's legitimate domain cdsi-simi[.]com features a single hyphen, whereas the lookalike domain uses two hyphens.

Passive DNS revealed a goldmine: a cloud system in Las Vegas hosting Russian domains and other impersonations of major companies.

Here are a few samples of the domains:

- reag-br[.]com Lookalike for Reag Capital Holdings, Brazil.
- creo--ia[.]com Lookalike for an industrial fabrication firm in WA State.
- admiralsmetal[.]com Lookalike for US based metals provider.
- ustructuressinc[.]com Lookalike Colorado based Heavy Civil Contractor.
- elisontechnologies[.]com Typosquat for Ellison Technologies machine fabrication.
