There are some cool projects these days to provide more private access to mobile phone networks.

The pretty good phone privacy project has just entered public beta.

There was an earlier pseudonymous sim project before.

@thegrugq @_Sn0rkY reminds me of the osmocom imsi pseudpnymization project we released some years ago:

There is a Russian SIM offering which seems to be a very similar implementation (an MVNO) with a different type of protection. In this case the security is from the silence of the MVNO, rather than the MVNO being unable to link the IMSI in use to a particular customer.

If anybody is wondering why Cisco are disclosing, the threat actors appear to have forced their hands. I doubt Cisco were able to whip up that blog post in an hour on a whim 🤣

AI tools that write generic blog posts and massage the content to be SEO friendly are already starting to flood Google search results. This is a case of HOOTL (human out of the loop) information warfare!

Kim Zetter, of Kim Zetter’s newsletter fame, gave a keynote at BlackHat on part of the cyber warfare part of the Russia Ukraine war. In particular the IT Army and what it means for the future of cyber conflict. Things like, “is it ok to allow attacks to originate in your state against another state?” And, “what do the IT Army do after the war is over?”

Topics we’ve covered on ‘The Kim Zetter’s Newsletter Glasshouse Cyber Hour Show’

Russian invasion has destabilized cyber security norms

The inside scoop on the Ukrainian IT army, and what could happen next

Also relevant is the paper by Stefan Soesanto which she cites

It's out: The first detailed write-up on "The IT Army of Ukraine - Structure, Tasking, and Ecosystem." You'll get insights into the IT Army's targeting flow and coordination, the non-public structure, where Ukraine's intel services are, and much more. css.ethz.ch/content/dam/et…
