#2 Interesting talk on how espionage has changed over time from people spying on people, to signals/computer hacking, to hybrid warfare and disinformatsiya. Mentions Clifford Stole and The Cuckoo's Egg which, if you have not read it, is a fascinating story about the early days of hacking into computer networks.
Warning: contains some of the usual lefty tropes like Scooter Libby outing Valerie Plame, and Russian interference and disinformation getting Trump elected. Just offhand snarks, the speaker doesn't belabor the point. |
