FBI Hacks Into Criminal Networks | Troops Pulling out of Afghanistan

FBI Hacks Into Criminal Networks | Troops Pulling out of Afghanistan

WE ARE BACK! Security Horizons is back and in video form this time, no more just voice over! Today, we cover the FBI creating their own app to 'hack' into criminal organisations in the ANOM story. Hundreds of criminals around the world were just communicating without knowing everything was being seen by security forces. We follow up with a look at the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan, and how the government has been set up to fail by decades of mismanagement by allied military forces. We also cover the Sri Lanka Oil Spill, a Q&A covering Russian opposition groups and the readiness of infrastructure against cyber attacks, and finish up with links of the week!
