So far it seems the hackers have had limited success, mostly defacing a website here and there. Likely the work of “patriotic" amateurs and not serious professionals, experts say. — PolitiTweet.org

Denial-of-service attacks accounted for some of the attack traffic, but a large share of the malicious activity consisted of probing for network vulnerabilities. That’s consistent with what Texas officials have said, which is that at one point they were seeing 10,000 scans/min. — PolitiTweet.org

Global attack volume rose, too. All this suggests a few possibilities: Some Iranian attackers may be pretending to be from other countries; non-Iranian attackers may be pretending to be Iranian; and/or opportunistic hackers are generally leveraging a chaotic situation. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
We’re starting to get some concrete data on the Iran cyber threat. 48 hours after Soleimani’s death, @Cloudflare noticed that attacks from Iranian IP addresses had nearly *tripled* — peaking at half a billion hacking attempts per day https://t.co/spTbvaEyyC — PolitiTweet.org

All of that, to me, is far more interesting and revealing than what he had to say about Cambridge Analytica, Trump and 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Boz resolves the apparent contradiction between Zuckerberg’s message and the polarization issue by redefining it as a market externality. And then offers the lesson that solving externalities is to be avoided because it doesn’t serve shareholders. Just look at Kraft’s CEO! https://t.co/A76puZYp36 — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
If Boz’s theory is true, that seeing viewpoints offensive to one’s own leads to retrenchment rather than connection and understanding, then Facebook itself is unintentionally doing what nefarious third parties spent lots of time and energy on in 2016: Dividing people. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This view contradicts the message pushed by Mark Zuckerberg all year, that exposing people to more and different voices, unfiltered, leads to a healthier democracy. Boz’s thought challenges Facebook’s core ethos and the theory of mind behind FB's biggest product decisions. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Boz cites internal research showing Facebook users see content from 26% more sources than elsewhere. “What happens when you see 26% more content from people you don’t agree with? Does it help you empathize with them…? Nope. It makes you dislike them even more." — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
But to me the most interesting passage is where Boz talks about the polarizing effects of Facebook content. Here’s why. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The last bit is going to make lots of headlines, and some will surely come away further convinced Facebook is full of liberals who are bent on rigging the platform against conservatives. (Researchers have found no systemic evidence that the platform discriminates on ideology.) — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
He calls Cambridge Analytica “snake oil salespeople” who were peddling “bullshit claims.” He also showers the 2016 Trump campaign with praise for running "the single best digital ad campaign I’ve ever seen from any advertiser. Period.” Looking ahead to 2020, he says: https://t.co/1NuvZ6SDo0 — PolitiTweet.org
