1. The simplicity and cost of conducting disruptive operations do not always correlate with the extent of their effectiveness 2. The spillover risk of the #UkraineRussiaWar️ is increasing. 2/2

The Cheap Radio Hack That Disrupted Poland's Railway System
The sabotage of more than 20 trains in Poland by apparent supporters of Russia was carried out with a simple “radio-stop” command anyone could broadcast with $30 in equipment.

Iliya Sachkov, co-founder of GroupIB, is not a criminal. He built a state-of-the-art platform to catch cyber criminals with Russia's best interest in mind. The sentence he received is a deplorable example of how Russia's top innovators are smothered by the corrupt Kremlin.

Sachkov who helped found one of Russia’s most prominent cybersecurity firms was accused of aiding foreign spies.

#China’s new counterespionage law just came into effect. The law expands the definition of espionage to any documents, data, materials or any other items related to national security interests. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation giving more power to the #PRC government.

Bulgarian language is not Russian. Bulgaria is not Russia. We are a NATO and a EU member. Bulgaria also supports Ukraine against Russian aggression. Putting Bulgarian language in a Russian bar might have worked in the past. Now, it is an anachronistic oddity.

Some takeaways from #CyCon2023: * Ukraine is winning but continuous provision of conventional weapons and cyber support needs to continue * cloud migrations of Ukraine’s essential data were mostly successful but legacy data wasn’t transferred * anti-DDoS tools at the start of the war were critical

The cyber gulag: How Russia tracks, censors and controls its citizens
It's becoming increasingly difficult for Russians to escape government scrutiny. Authorities monitor social media accounts, prosecuting critics of President Vladimir Putin or the war in Ukraine. Activists say Putin’s government has managed to harness digital technology to surveil, censor and control Russians.

Dawn Cappelli: Becoming the cyber fairy godmother. [OT] [Career Notes]
Listen to this episode from CyberWire Daily on Spotify. Dawn Cappelli, OT CERT Director at Dragos, sits down to share what she has learned after her 25+ year career in the industry. She recalls wanting to have been a rockstar when she grew up, now she refers to herself as the fairy godmother of security. She shares some of the amazing things she got to work on throughout her career, including working with the Secret Service when the Olympics came to Salt Lake City, Utah in 2002. She shares how she was able to rise through the ranks to get to where she is now. Dawn talks about how she wasn't ready to retire quite yet because she loved the industry so much, saying "I retired, but I knew I still loved security. I have this passion for protection and so Dragos came along and they offered me this role of Director of OT CERT. I feel like I'm the security fairy godmother." She shares words of wisdom for all trying to get into the industry, saying that you need to always take the risk like she did when she first started her career. We thank Dawn for sharing her story with us.
