Meet the Founder – John Liccione

John Liccione – Decorated Veteran USAF and NSA Korean Linguist, Intelligence Analyst, Cybersecurity Executive, Journalist

RussiLeaks and North Korea Leaks’ Founder and CEO John Liccione is a decorated veteran United States Air Force and NSA Korean linguist and intelligence analyst, cybersecurity executive, investigative journalist, author, and a recent candidate for the U.S. Congress in Florida’s District 13.

He began developing RussiLeaks as a project in 2019 after the release of the Mueller Report and the DOJ indictments of Putin’s GRU intelligence operatives who hacked the 2016 US elections.  He launched RussiLeaks publicly on March 1, 2022, one week after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a focused mission to bring light to Putin’s evil plots and schemes in the defense of Ukraine, freedom, and democracy, as the antidote to decades of Putin’s relentless disinformation and psychological warfare campaign he has been waging against America and the democratic nations of the world.

John’s book, “The Grand Unifying Theory of Putin-Trump,” on sale as an e-book on the RussiLeaks Store and Amazon, sets the tone and lays the foundation for the RussiLeaks’ mission and provides an action plan to solve the world’s “Putin-Problem.”  To quote one reader review:  “John weaves the facts of yesterday and today to paint a vivid canvas of what our future may and will likely be.”

Now he brings North Korea Leaks to the world.

John has been a visionary cyber-security leader who has led high-tech companies to successful outcomes, turned around failing companies, defended against advanced, persistent cyber-attacks, defended his country against hostile foreign adversaries, and has personally invented two ground-breaking continuous monitoring solutions for government and industry networks. He has delivered quantifiable results in software, cloud, cyber-security, and national security. He obtained his BSEE from University of Maryland. At ARINC as head of advanced Research and Development, he launched the airline industry’s and FAA’s first private IP network, “AOCnet.”

He served as VP at USinternetworking, leading R&D and their managed hosting business unit, through their $140M IPO. He co-founded Evergreen Assurance in 2002 and patented a 15-minute disaster recovery cloud service for corporate e-mail and Blackberry mobile devices in the aftermath of 9/11, which won SC Magazine’s “Global 2004 Judges Award for Best Disaster Recovery Service.” He turned around a failing network management firm by inventing Boxtone which became a market leader in continuous monitoring of mobile device and email performance.

He served as VP or Worldwide Services at cyber-security firm Tenable and helped grow it to market leadership while serving as executive program manager on the DISA/DOD ACAS program, which provides cybersecurity continuous monitoring for the entire DOD as well as most federal agencies and all three branches of government.

Throughout his career John has been a creative change agent, a team builder, and a visionary willing to dive in and solve the seemingly intractable problems for his companies, customers, and America.
