"Black Legion" - Secret Fake Private Military Company in Kyrgyzstan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcWYhewG9Ho

"First Department" reported the discovery of an infection of an anti-war activist's phone with the Monokle spyware from the Russian FSB

The human rights project "First Department" reported on the infection of the devices of the anti-war activist with Russian citizenship Kirill Porubets with the Monokle spyware, developed by the St. Petersburg company "Special Technology Center" (STC). This is the first time that human rights activists have learned of the use of this program against anti-war Russians, claims "First Department".

As "First Department" explained to The Insider, so far only Android devices are known to be infected. However, the possibility of installing it on iOS is not excluded and is being studied.

Porubets managed to leave Russia after being detained by special services and threatened with treason.

Monokle is a malicious program that provides its operator with remote access to Android-based phones. The Trojan allows the person who controls the program to read messages, record the screen, listen to calls, track the victim's movements, download files from the device and see passwords stored on it: https://theins.ru/news/276831

Acts of sabotage point to future aggression. Russia is actively conducting subversive and subversive activities in Europe, preparing for a major war with NATO. Press publications and testimonies of officials about the situation in the sphere of European security - in the review by Masha Slonim: https://newtimes.ru/articles/detail/249189/

In a new interview on the SlonFm channel, a Ukrainian cadet and founder of a small OSINT community, InfoHunters, shares his experience working with open sources of information. He explains how data analysis and social networks help identify large concentrations of Russian troops, and explains why OSINT skills are becoming increasingly important for everyone. The interview discusses the most high-profile works of Ukrainian OSINT communities and gives advice for complete beginners in this field.
