When World News Matters to You: Operationalizing Geopolitical Intelligence
summary
Claims that geopolitics changes what to hunt and when, backed by concrete methods: linguistic forensics on WannaCry ransom notes linking text quirks to northeastern China, timeline correlation of the Oct 28, 2019 Georgia defacement and a free upload of voter data implying political motive, and early detection of COVID-19–linked threat activity on Jan 23, 2020. Workflows include linguistic forensics, a calendar-driven watchlist of significant dates, and integrated threat products for vendor and supply-chain vetting.
