Today’s #GoodGuysPrevail Update: The United States Attorneys’​ Offices recently seized a website promoting #sextrafficking and indicted its owner.

The #indictment was announced by United States Attorney Erin Nealy Cox last week. The announcement details an action by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Secret Service, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security that shuttered the successor to the Backpage website, which similarly made the owners “millions [by] facilitating the online exploitation of women and children.”

I will admit that I needed to read this headline twice, as my brain initially recorded “investigators” (rather than 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨). Now that my breathing has returned to normal, I’m able to better understand the import of this U.S. Department of Justice update.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week arrested a Russian national believed to be the animating force behind the Deer[.]io criminal marketplace. The site is believed to have operated over 24,000 “shops” that sell hacked accounts and stolen user credentials. This is a blow to the criminal underworld, and it should be lauded accordingly. Kudos on the diligent investigative work the led to this arrest!

The U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) charge two Chinese nationals with the laundering of over $100 Million in #cryptocurrency stolen from exchanges by North Korean actors seeking to evade international sanctions.

This is a remarkable case, involving tremendous cooperation among international law enforcement, sophisticated digital forensics, and a resolute pursuit of actors determined to compromise global financial systems and harm the United States.  Kudos to all involved!

Today’s update is admittedly a geeky one. The good folks at the Mozilla project have embedded a non-trivial improvement into the #Firefox browser. Users of this browser will now have their “name resolutions” (i.e., the on-the-fly correlation of human-friendly website addresses to computer-friendly numeric machine addresses) performed via encrypted channels.

Yes, I recognize how dorky I sound, but this is a big deal. Why? Because this will establish a trend that will be incorporated into all web #browsers over time, thereby removing a decades-old attack vector for bad actors and improving the security of end users across the globe. Kudos Mozilla!
