@briankrebs Oh gotcha, makes sense!
@briankrebs Interesting piece. One thing: You write that "Urban’s indictment is currently sealed. But a copy of the document obtained by KrebsOnSecurity shows the name of the federal agent who testified to it has been blacked out."
But the indictment does not appear to be unsealed (I just downloaded it from PACER). Also, that space on the indictment is normally where the foreperson signs (and is often redacted).
Exclusive: A probe into whether Donald Trump took money from the Egyptian government ended after then-Attorney General William Barr questioned the case, which centered on if Egypt's president sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 campaign. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/08/02/trump-campaign-egypt-investigation/
Sue Mi Terry, wife of WaPo columnist Max Boot, has been charged with acting as an agent of South Korea; the indictment cites a WaPo column she wrote with Boot (Washington Post)

@simon Ah gotcha! I love a little suspense, I'll check again later!
@simon Very cool. Though I get a Heroku error when I try to go to your site ("Application error: An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Heroku CLI with the command heroku logs --tail")
Former president Donald Trump calls his globe-trotting ex-diplomat ‘my envoy.’ Neither is in office.

The tactic appears to go back years. Three applications and court orders were issued in 2019 to Apple and Google, demanding that they hand over information on accounts identified by push tokens linked to alleged ISIS supporters. https://wapo.st/3uPQUhS
We found more than 130 warrants and orders where investigators demanded that companies hand over data related to a suspect’s push alerts or noted the importance of tokens in requests for account info. Filed in 15 states + DC, involved crimes from covid relief fraud to Somali piracy: https://wapo.st/3uPQUhS
