Description: Part 1 of 2, Let's chat about what cyber att4ck5 we're seeing from Russia are and if we should worry. Part II: youtube.com/watch?v=atn5Yt-VZb4 Remember when the Java™ log4j vuln gave hackers access to devices and networks? One of the biggest concerns is how many systems and networks could have lurkers ready to trigger anything from data exfiltration to catastrophic attacks. This is kinda like that, only now we've been made aware that state-sponsored Russian hackers have lurked over data streams including US Department of Defense information - and they're not all gone, either. With tensions having escalated to actual war, we've seen Microsoft identify a potentially nasty bit of malware named "FoxBlade" and bring it to government attention. Hacker group Anonymous launched an operation against Russia, leaking the Russian Ministry of Economic Development database (since recovered by Russia) and leading the DoS charge with as many netrunning cavalry as they can muster.
