The KGB has adopted novel, brutal and apparently effective methods of dealing with terrorists who attack Soviet interests in the Middle East, an Israeli newspaper reported Monday.

The Jerusalem Post said the Soviet secret police last year secured the release of three kidnapped Soviet diplomats in Beirut by castrating a relative of a radical Lebanese Shia Muslim leader, sending him the severed organs and then shooting the relative in the head.

The incident began when four Soviet diplomats were kidnapped last September by Muslim extremists who demanded that Moscow pressure the Syrian government to stop pro-Syrian militiamen from shelling rival Muslim positions in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.

The militiamen, the Jerusalem paper said, did not cease their attacks, and the body of one of the Soviet diplomats, Arkady Katkov, was found a few days later in a field in Beirut.

The KGB then apparently kidnapped and killed a relative of an unnamed leader of the Shias' Hezbollah (Party of God) group, a radical, pro-Iranian group that has been suspected of various terrorist activities against Western targets in Lebanon.

Parts of the man's body, the paper said, were then sent to the Hezbollah leader with a warning that he would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately released. They were quickly freed.

The newspaper quoted "observers in Jerusalem" as saying: "This is the way the Soviets operate. They do things--they don't talk. And this is the language Hezbollah understands."

Six Americans, missing for up to two years, are presumed to be kidnapping victims in Lebanon.

that only seems like an issue if their data vendor is using real voter id numbers for their ids which would be dumb af but certainly possible

I don't think it's public data everywhere in the country. The only campaign contacts I have ever gotten (Minnesota) started coming after I went to a party caucus in 2008. I only get mailers from that party. Maybe some generic voter data is public but I don't think I've ever been contacted by any other party or wedge group

voter roles are public data but youre limited in how youre allowed to use it and its not free.

for minnesota for example: https://www.sos.state.mn.us/election-administration-campaigns/data-maps/registered-voter-list-requests/

quote:

Voter name, address, phone, birth year, voter ID, legacy ID (pdf only), registration date (text only), county, MCD, precinct, school district code, other district codes, detailed voting history (election date, election description, and voting method).

$46 per election, but youve got to find a minnesota voter to do it for you and you have to use it for "purposes related to elections, political activities, or law enforcement"

how much the voter roles cost (anywhere from $0 to thousands), who's allowed access, and what you're allowed to do with them varies from state to state

Unlikely, here's more Bloomberg being kinda lovely:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-30/vodafone-found-hidden-backdoors-in-huawei-equipment?srnd=technology-vp

I've not actually seen any evidence of Huawei actively backdooring aside from the typical consumer telnet daemon that literally all vendors were guilty of in the early 2000's and 2010's and just generally lovely security development practices all around.

I have seen these backdoors on most manufacturers, they are usually lovely security practices and policies. Afterall I did find a way to telnet to my cable modem in 2000 to access some hidden configuration from outside the network. And it was a 3com not huwaei
