what is the point of having co intel at all when I got this legally for free and it showed me how it was capable of doing everything anyone here has ever feared automatically only calling the monitor for alarms in the network.
they are doing news articles speculating about something that isn't even classified, apparently nobody even expects they need to bother.

Thanks for sharing that.
I think people are confused as to the role of counterintelligence in the field.
Listening to the word on the street, human intelligence gathering, physical surveillance, conducting infiltration operations, enacting physical security measures and countermeasures are all functions that no computer can perform.
Likewise, we are not oracles of information either. We're basically detectives. We gather, analyze, and disseminate information in real time as we observe and interact with subjects in hostile environments.
When we aren't deployed, we assist with background and criminal investigations at home.
With all that being said, the amount of open source intelligence available on the internet is downright scary. I've touched on it a few times in this thread and gave a few examples of the type of information that is freely available to anyone. Not many people know where to look for it.
If it weren't for the gatekeepers at Google and a handful of other tech conglomerates, all of this would be common knowledge.
