At this year’s DEF CON conference, hackers thumbing through copies of Phrack thought they were reading about a North Korean leak. Few realized they might be the real targets.The West’s current advantage in cyber operations depends on the level of mutual trust between an underground hacker culture and the Five Eyes intelligence agencies.

Images taken at the Dalian Shipyard in Northeastern China have indicated that significant progress is being made in the early stages of construction of the country’s next supercarrier. The country’s shipbuilding industry has completed three carriers capable of accommodating manned fixed wing aircraft, including its first supercarrier the Fujian, which was laid down some time in 2015 and launched in June 2022. At 80,000 tons, the Fujian is by far the largest warship in the world outside the U.S. Navy and is the only non-American supercarrier fielded anywhere worldwide.

The full scale of the paycheck errors is unclear.
The latest iteration of the Marine Corps’ big-picture modernization plans sheds new light on leaders’ near-term vision to enable “kill webs” — notably more advanced and interconnected than legacy “kill chains” — via a networked system that fuses a wide variety of military intelligence and warfare capabilities used to identify and target threats across the world.

There isn’t much more defeating than building something meaningful, passing it on, and then having to watch as it falls apart. Veterans know that feeling better than anyone. They built something strong: a mission, a standard, a legacy. They trusted that when it was handed off, it would be protected. But over time, cracks appeared. Standards shifted. The mission blurred.
As Secretary Pete Hegseth put it, “Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high. If not, they’re not standards — they’re just suggestions.
