Some cool retro computing

That wild story about the guys impersonating secret service, or police, or something… and bribing various federal agents and such? It’s looking very scammy. They should probably get into crypto.

Good RUSI report

A philosophical discussion on threat actors and intelligence

Crypto and lost money, except this time it’s not a scam!

Propaganda is bad, but telling your side of the story is good.

The NYT looks at the other half of the cyberwar around Ukraine. The part where Russia is being ravaged.

DJI drones are glitching out for Ukrainians but not, apparently, for Russians. The Ukrainians are replacing theirs with American drones. On the plus side, this means that blasting out DJI attacks will only impact Russia forces.

Just say no to user mode hooks.

Just some windows hackery.

A good analysis of the state of the Russia Ukraine cyber war.

This is a cool film about how London is used for money laundering.

Contextually within the framework of “where’s the cyber war?” this observation about food supply chain logistics is a very relevant data point.

The cyberwar apparently features a lot of successful defence operations. The Russian attacks fail, nothing makes the news, and so the pundits continue to downplay cyber.

The infowar is really interesting these days. Lots more manipulation of original content.

An awesome demonstration of OSINT investigation.
