Here's my story on the Cyber Safety Review Board announcing its plan to review Lapsus$'s attacks: https://t.co/Bp8ojcz6zV — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

There's no ETA for this study, which is just getting started now. "We're going to take the time needed to conduct a thorough review," Silvers said, though he added that "we want to move very quickly." Also TBD: Whether victims like Uber will agree to talk to the board. — PolitiTweet.org

Some background on Lapsus$: https://t.co/oYC1TDLzlF https://t.co/F4WpR82LXh https://t.co/obtAaIoPfM https://t.co/YORfhKgLJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

The CSRB's original mandate was to review specific incidents (its first review was Log4j), but @SecMayorkas told reporters that DHS will order broader studies like this when they’re "in the public interest and of maximum immediate benefit to the safety of the cyber ecosystem." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

CSRB deputy chair @argvee said Lapsus$'s reach means the board has "a rare opportunity to take a comprehensive look at these systemic issues" spanning multiple industries and countries. This includes some critical infrastructure sectors, as @CISAJen noted in DHS' press release. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Lapsus$'s exploitation of common vulns means the CSRB's findings and recommendations will help protect the community from all kinds of hackers. "This is exactly the type of review that will benefit network defenders across this country,” board chair @DHS_Policy told reporters. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

New: For its second study, DHS' Cyber Safety Review Board will examine the activities of the relatively new extortion-focused hacker group Lapsus$, which has breached victims like Microsoft, Uber, and Okta. https://t.co/ZgFUpwQhbF — PolitiTweet.org

@Rheiret I really don't think a lot of the creative decisionmaking on Star Wars happens above the Lucasfilm executive level, but I admit I have no idea what I'm talking about — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

You can do high-quality Star Wars stories that are TV-Y comedies, instead of political spy thrillers. You can do high-quality SW stories that focus on Jedi, instead of salvage yard workers. I hope Lucasfilm recognizes what *actually* set Andor apart from lesser productions. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Both of these movies succeeded because they were well-written and well-directed, not because they were wholly novel in the way Andor is usually praised for. Star Wars can be high-quality even within the constraints that Andor chose to reject. That alone wasn't what made it work. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The Force Awakens is generally considered popular and successful despite not telling a radically new kind of SW story. The Last Jedi succeeded b/c of bold character choices despite sitting inside the narratively staid confines of the Skywalker saga. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

A grounded focus and a mature tone helped set Andor apart, but high-quality writing and directing made those things possible. Every production needs to excel at those bedrock qualities. Andor used them for something strikingly different, but that's not necessary for success. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Star Wars Resistance didn’t have a mature tone, but that wasn't a flaw, it was a creative choice based on the demographics of the target audience. Better planning could have made its characters and stories actually matter to the broader sequel trilogy storytelling project. — PolitiTweet.org
