I've been name checking Bombing to Win when we cover CNA in my Cyber Operations class for years, but now thanks to @sodrock.bsky.social , I can do it with a meme I don't fully understand.

Tried this one. The peanut butter flavor is pretty subtle, so doesn't add much, but not bad either.

This campaign got written up by CNCERT, though they have a more chaste explanation for the name than I would have given. www.secrss.com/articles/86568

The word "nuts" in English has a dual meaning of "crazy" and "nut," aptly reflecting the botnet's behavioral and defensive characteristics

Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Strawberry. Doesn't seem like it would add much, but who knows.

The final interesting thing is that in the most recent incident, the releases were done by local police in Guangzhou. The MSS was likely involved in the investigation, but having local officials lead the public communication suggests a pretty open mandate for public attribution to Taiwan.

Ben Read @benread.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

The MSS seems to be escalating this campaign. They're increasing the number (3, 4, then 20) of individuals and releasing more types of information. (just names in the first, then, dates of birth and ID numbers in later releases).

Finally, evolution has come all the way back around to breakfast, with "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnamilk" completing the cycle.

Separately the CinnaDust has also shown convergent evolution with peanut butter, creating "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Creamy Cinnamon Spread"

Ben Read @benread.bsky.social · 07/02/2024

CinnaDust is then free to form it's own symbiotic relationships, in this case with Popcorn (note it has evolved into "CinnaDust Glaze")
