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
