That sounds quaint. Why was it awarded to Reuters, a British/foreign news organization that supposedly hires journalists to report unbiased information? What expertise would they have in preventing social engineering attacks?

View on HN

It was awarded to Thomson Reuters, the parent company. They do a lot of work in risk management and fraud detection, so they have a lot of expertise.

How's that working so far? Millions of illegal immigration, emptying of foreign prisons into America, development of apps to help navigate illegals into their US destinations, pacifying social media of the abovea?

Thomas Reuters apparently is helping against America ... so far.

Turn off Fox News dude - you're severely lacking perspective of your own country. Everyone outside of the US media sphere(or rather spheres - there's two) laughs at your news media and how entrenched misinformation has become.

Unlike you, I make an effort to know the who, how, when, where, what, and why:

You've made a diagram showing statistics of immigration encounters, and from that you deduced that prisons are being emptied into the US? Bit of a stretch. The diagram is nice, but you're missing the point: the picture being painted for you that you're trying to prop up is false.

I would like to see you paint a better diagram of the INS workflow

You continue the miss the point, I suspect on purpose.

Then be a purpose, not a naysayer or a denialist, unless you get paid to do so.

Title 42 was the main culprit of the border encounter explosion, it was used as a temporary solution to the 'asylum seeker' problem. It turned into catch and release, even the CBP agreed this was an issue because the recidivism rate was so high. That ended in May of 23' and now the only problem is working through asylum claims. Idk why everyone misunderstands the problem at the border so much.

As well as most of the people crying about this problem are unaware that Trump shot down the border bill which would have enabled officers to close up cases much quicker than judges. So do you even have a point here?

Pardon? This is about how Thomson Reuters was funded by DARPA to do a study on defending against social media attacks at scale. It has nothing to do with any of the points you brought up, and I fail to see the connection.

You said it.

I can only lead a horse to the watering hole.

How come they didn't detect the fraud and abuse going on in the government?

Were they hired to do fraud detection for the US government? Do you have any idea how businesses work in general? Or are you being obtuse on purpose?

Come on, man. Have some self-respect.

Reuters builds software for a variety of fields and maintains datasets that would be useful in identifying if, say, an email with an invoice purporting to be from a specific company aligns with the invoicing practices of that company.

It would be more accurate to compare that side of Reuters to LexisNexus, Wolters Kluwer, or perhaps Bloomberg.

Apparently Experian does a far much better job giving credit scores to Americans than Thomas Reuters does against criminal immigrants.

Thomson Reuters is an American-Canadian company. Thompson was founded in Toronto and bought Reuters in 2008. Most of it's leadership is Canadian, and to some degree American or British.

This isn't "foreign", and it has a large presence in the US

They also have a long, long history of providing services to the USG, including a lot of efforts in busting illegal immigration via shared media databases.

Thomson Reuters is Canadian. Reuters itself is based in London. It's not American.
