Special Forces Trust Welcomes Andy’s Fund to Strengthen Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Efforts for the Green Beret Community

Posted on Monday, 1 September, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Special Forces Trust Welcomes Andy’s Fund to Strengthen Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Efforts for the Green Beret Community

Southern Pines, NC — August 30, 2025 — Special Forces Trust is proud to announce a formal partnership with the Marckesano Family, marking the next chapter for Andy’s Fund. Through this partnership, Andy’s Fund will now operate under the umbrella of the Special Forces Trust, ensuring its mission is supported by an organization deeply embedded within the Special Forces community, and deeply committed to mental health.

Created in honor of MSG Andrew Marckesano, a highly decorated Green Beret, Andy’s Fund exists to combat the mental health crisis within the Special Forces community — with a sharp focus on root-cause treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), post-traumatic stress (PTS), and the challenges of alcohol and drug abuse. Since Andy’s passing on July 7, 2020, the Fund has worked tirelessly to drive culture change, address stigma, and connect Green Berets to life-saving resources.

“By joining with Special Forces Trust, we are strengthening the reach, trust, and impact of Andy’s Fund,” said Kathryn Marckesano, Gold Star Mother of MSG Marckesano. “The Trust’s deep relationships with the Special Forces community and leadership make them the ideal home for this mission. Together, we can save lives.”

On August 23 at the Hope & Purpose Ball in Florida, Special Forces Trust CEO Jodi Burns reflected on the personal significance of this partnership: “Andy Marckesano’s death shook me. It was the reason I built Beyond the Battlefield, our suicide prevention and invisible wounds platform. It’s so ironic—and at the same time, so fitting—that a few years later, we would now be partnering directly with the Marckesano Family. The Trust is both honored and deeply moved to carry Andy’s name forward in this mission.”

The partnership will allow Andy’s Fund to expand its grant programs, increase access to advanced treatment options, and host annual initiatives aimed at prevention, resilience, and recovery within the Green Beret community. With the backing of Special Forces Trust, Andy’s Fund will continue its work with the urgency and precision this crisis demands.

AI Web Builders Are Fueling a Rise in Phishing Sites, Say Researchers

AI Web Builders Are Fueling a Rise in Phishing Sites, Say Researchers

Aug 29, 2025

(Source: iHLS)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

The rapid rise of AI-powered web development tools has made it easier than ever to create functional websites with minimal technical expertise. But recent research suggests that these same tools are being repurposed by cybercriminals to run large-scale phishing operations.

According to a report from cybersecurity firm Proofpoint, attackers are leveraging an AI platform called Lovable to build and deploy phishing websites at scale. Lovable, which allows users to generate websites using simple text prompts, has seen a surge in malicious use, with tens of thousands of malicious URLs detected each month since early 2025.

The platform’s ease of use is a major factor. Even free-tier users can replicate public sites, swap in a new logo, and quickly launch phishing pages. This allows one phishing template to multiply into hundreds of copycat campaigns with little effort.

Proofpoint tracked several attack campaigns using Lovable-hosted websites. These included fake Microsoft login pages for credential theft, counterfeit CAPTCHA challenges, shipping company impersonations targeting payment data, and bogus DeFi platforms used to trick victims into connecting crypto wallets. Other examples involved malware disguised as legitimate software installers, which then infected users with remote access trojans.

This trend falls under a growing practice called “vibe coding”—a term describing how AI-generated code is often built based on broad inputs without concern for long-term maintainability or security. While the technology lowers the barrier to web development, it also generates poorly structured or vulnerable code that attackers can exploit.

Researchers warn that AI-generated websites often lack proper security controls and can easily be repurposed by malicious actors. Because these tools automate much of the work traditionally required to create a phishing campaign, attackers can now devote more attention to social engineering and payload delivery.

While Lovable has acknowledged the issue and says it’s working on mitigation strategies, the broader concern remains: as AI tools continue to democratize coding, they also risk making cyberattacks more accessible. Security experts urge developers of such platforms to implement stronger safeguards against misuse.

Statement on ATF Open Letter Regarding Franklin Armory’s Reformation

Posted on Monday, 1 September, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Franklin Armory®

Franklin Armory® and FRAC Issue Statement on ATF Open Letter Regarding Reformation®

Minden, Nev. – August 29, 2025 – Franklin Armory®, one of America’s leading manufacturers of innovative firearms and accessories, and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC) issued the following statement today regarding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Open Letter advising FFLs on the classification of Franklin Armory’s Reformation firearm:

Shortly after President Trump issued his executive order directing the Department of Justice to review and correct anti-Second Amendment abuses of power by previous administrations, DOJ and ATF abandoned their appeal of a Federal District Court Judge’s ruling in our favor that had rectified the misclassification of Franklin Armory’s Reformation® firearm. While we were confident of another victory on appeal, fortunately, the current leadership at both DOJ and ATF proved to have more respect for legal principles than their predecessors and avoided further miring the parties into an even longer drawn-out legal battle.

This Open Letter formally reaffirms what we have known to be true all along: Reformation can only be classified as a standard “firearm” under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and is completely exempt from the National Firearms Act (NFA). Furthermore, it is neither a short-barreled shotgun nor short-barreled rifle under the GCA.

Additionally, by the parties entering into this agreement, DOJ’s and ATF’s position on Reformation’s classification is now clear. This means that consumers nationwide—at least in free states— will continue to have unfettered access to the ultimate home defense weapon for protection of self, family, and property, free and clear of all NFA restrictions in the form of Franklin Armory’s Reformation series of firearms.

We are grateful to Attorney General Bondi and ATF Acting Director Driscoll for recognizing the validity of our case and appreciate their combined efforts to negotiate an agreement. Settling this case not only rights a wrong perpetrated against a constitutionally-protected business seeking nothing more than to engage in lawful commerce, but also helps to reestablish integrity and trust between industry and executive branch institutions.

The ATF’s Open Letter regarding Reformation was issued earlier today as a negotiated action in the recent settlement between Franklin Armory and co-plaintiff FRAC (Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in FRAC, et al. v. Bondi, et al. (formerly FRAC, et al. v. Garland, et al.) at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the District of North Dakota.

About Franklin Armory®

Safeguarding the God-given right to protect self and property is Franklin Armory’s enduring mission. From the “Battle Born” State of Nevada, the firm engineers and manufactures quality firearms and accessories for sporting, defense, and law enforcement applications. Highly adept at creating innovative products that are 100% designed, machined, and built in America, the People of Franklin Armory are genuine Facilitators of Freedom™.

Vortex Optics - Job Opportunities

NEW CROSSFIRE^®HD RIFLESCOPES: BUILT FOR THE HUNT. READY FOR THE SHOT.
August 28, 2025

BARNEVELD, Wis. – From rimfire to muzzleloader, straight-wall to scout, the new Crossfire^® HD line of riflescopes is built for how you hunt, with application-specific models to fill any tag.

To help Crossfire^® HD better fit your hunt, there are now side parallax options on select models for easy adjustments in the field.
