On June 5 Russians took over a streaming TV service in Ukraine and for ten minutes replaced the England v Wales football match with Russian propaganda. Cyber war!
Football — Hackers hacked OLL.TV during the match Wales — Ukraine
OLL.TV was hacked during the broadcast of the match between Ukraine and Wales. Instead of football, hackers turned on Russian propaganda

A long and winding thread of rather amazing innovation.

Round up on good articles on the Russian army.
Not Built for Purpose: The Russian Military’s Ill-Fated Force Design
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a deeply flawed military operation, from Moscow’s assumptions about an easy victory, to a lack of preparation, poor
Great analysis on why the Russian army isnt as good as people thought. This was *before* the invasion. So extra credit goes to Stanimir Dobrev.
Dwarfing the Giant: The Reality of Russia's Military, Part I - International Review
Russia's military forces, following three years of deployment in Syria, are facing fresh challenges on both land and sea.

And finally, how miserable it is:
Russia’s Military Telegrams its Discontent - CEPA
Russian troops are using social media channels to discuss the war, despite potentially punitive punishments. The Kremlin won’t like it.
This had me thinking a lot about a book I started reading, “Sheer Misery”, which looks at how war is experienced by the soldiers. A General complains that the bad winter weather is putting more men out of action than the enemy. That is, he thinks of his soldiers as “units of force.” For the soldiers though, the weather is visceral. Their feet swell, go black, lose sensation. Their fingers turn blue and freeze solid. It is a torturous experience that they never forget.
Anyway, just made me think about how the experience of being a soldier in Ukraine must be sheer misery in its own way. Apparently some Russians were given pies by a nice old lady, except they were poisoned and 8 of them died.

Can we believe the Russian phone calls intercepted and published by Ukrainian SBU and GUR? • WarTranslated - Dmitri Masinski
In the three months I’ve been translating material from the war in Ukraine, no topic has been as consistently popular among my translations as various calls between Russian soldiers and their family members, intercepted and published online by Ukrainian SBU (Security) and GUR (Intelligence) services…
Some highlights:

Enjoy a virtual tour of the RSA conference expo floor.
Having spent an hour or so walking the floor of @RSAConference, it's rather clear that #RSAC's not about security learning, but rather about selling security in a box. As @mattstratton famously said in a talk once, "you can't buy DevOps but I sure would like to sell it to you."

Articles like this, and some recent books, extolling the dominance of open source are becoming tedious. Too many authors at best only partially understand that of which they speak. Good secret intelligence agencies, certainly those of UK, have always paid close attention to/1

Telegram is pretty sure that the thread on an exploited vulnerability is a hoax.
An anonymous account made a baseless claim that they were able to access the contents of private group chats on Telegram. No such vulnerability has ever been found. This is likely a hoax with the intent to get users to download malware.
