Not every cyber threat is a cyber incident.
🔎 Probe ≠ Breach
⚠️ Vulnerability ≠ Exploitation
🛡️ Attack ≠ Successful Compromise
In election security, the distinction matters. Facts matter. Context matters.

When politics and the rule of law collide. Over. And over. And over.
“Show me the evidence that the paper ballot results differed from the computerized results,” 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks Tina Peters, the former Colorado election official who served time for her role in a voting machine breach.
“My place is not to show, you know, pick out different things and what-- what could have happened,” Peters says. “I was authorized to protect the election records according to 52USC.70201.” cbsn.ws/3W6ZKFb
Great job, @MattCrane_ !!!

Today, the NHL Alumni family mourns the loss of Ron Duguay, a cherished member of our hockey family whose legacy reaches far beyond the game he loved so dearly.
Ron lived life with an extraordinary passion, an infectious smile, and a heart that was truly larger than life.
Above all else, his deepest and most sincere love was for his family. They were his greatest pride, his greatest joy, and always closest to his heart.
His dedication and passion for the game of hockey were unwavering. Hockey was more than a sport to Ron; it was a part of who he was, a lifelong love that he carried with pride and shared so generously with others.
But perhaps what made Ron most special was his humanity. His genuine compassion, kindness, and willingness to help others always extended far beyond himself. He cared deeply, gave generously of his heart, and had a remarkable way of making everyone around him feel valued and appreciated.
Ron greeted each day with the biggest smile, an incredible zest for life, and a positive outlook that shone through everything he saw, everything he did, and every life he touched.
He will be remembered not only for the player he was, but for the extraordinary person he was.
His warmth, his laughter, his kindness, and his beautiful spirit will forever remain in the hearts of his family, friends, teammates, and the entire NHL Alumni community.
Our deepest love and heartfelt condolences go out to Ron’s family and all those fortunate enough to have known and loved him.
Rest in peace, Ron. Your smile, your heart, and your love for life will never be forgotten. ❤️🏒
Forever a part of our NHL Alumni family.

💔💔💔 Teenage crush gone way too soon. RIP Ron Duguay.
F*uck Cancer!
The New York Rangers organization mourns the loss of Ron Duguay, one of the most popular players in franchise history. Ron's signature skating style - with his hair flowing as he moved down the ice - captivated The Garden Faithful, and his skill, tenacity, and charisma earned him the admiration of all New Yorkers. We join the hockey community in sending our condolences to Ron's friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
