Paper terrorism is a tactic sovereign citizen extremists use to intimidate public officials. Some seek relief from criminal charges, demand money, or protest government action. They flood courts, government offices, and law enforcement agencies with bulk fraudulent legal documents, file targeted liens to harass public officials, or submit fictitious paperwork to get unlawful judgments approved. In this episode, Director of Intelligence Rosemary Martorana and Preparedness Bureau Deputy Chief Allison Toll sit down to discuss how criminal penalties in New Jersey for filing false liens are unlikely to deter sovereign citizen extremists as they adopt new methods to circumvent laws.

The FBI and DHS released a Joint Analysis Report containing technical details and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that the US government has attributed to Russian intelligence services, designated as GRIZZLY STEPPE, in connection with malicious cyber-enabled activities targeting a variety of US entities over the last several years. This report was intended to provide network defenders with previously undisclosed and in some cases declassified IOCs to aid in detecting and, when necessary, blocking network traffic or malicious tools used by Russian actors, as well as to encourage the reporting of confirmed incidents to Federal authorities. Today, as we welcome you back to Season 2 of Intelligence. Unclassified., Rosemary Martorana is joined by New Jersey's Chief Technology Officer Dave Wienstein, NJOHSP's Director of Cybersecurity CISO Steven Branigan, and New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell Director Mike Geraghty who discuss what GRIZZLY STEPPE actually is and what efforts are being put forth in New Jersey to secure our digital footprint.

Winter weather in New Jersey can encompass a wide range of hazards—from a moderate snow over a few hours, to a blizzard with blinding, wind-driven snow, to severe coastal or ice jam flooding.
