NCSC statement: Incident impacting Collins Aerospace Statement from the NCSC regarding the cyber incident affecting Collins Aerospace.

Das NCSC UK spricht von "cyber incident". Das klingt schon nach Attacke.

Danke für den Zwischenruf!

Aber was zum Teufel ist eine "cyber-related disruption"? Sagt man jetzt so für "technical issue"?

GPS-Jamming bei von der Leyens Flug – handelte Russland gezielt gegen die EU? In der Ostsee gibt es immer mehr GPS-Störungen, hinter denen der Kreml vermutet wird. Jetzt soll es zu einer gezielten Aktion gegen die EU-Kommissions-Präsidentin gekommen sein.

Was the plane of von der Leyen jammed? Not quite.

Data from Skai Data Services show: no plane in the region had signs of GPS jamming.

The attacker must have interfered from the ground, and air traffic control requested the plane to use ILS instead of GPS procedure to land in Plovdiv.

In recent months, Internet cables in the Baltic Sea have been damaged multiple times — Russian sabotage is suspected. But how does that work?

Together with @cianjochem.bsky.social & @lukasmaeder.bsky.social , we visualized one case (inspired by Reuters 🤩)

Trump und die Tech-Giganten: Die Verbindung schadet Europa – und stärkt die Autokratien Die Nähe von Donald Trump und Elon Musk zeigt, wie wichtig Technologie für die amerikanische Machtpolitik ist. Drei Szenarien der Bedrohung.

If the US administration destroys existing initiatives and re-prioritizes the resources to new goals, this will invariably affect the global cyber security situation.

@lukasmaeder.bsky.social has a thoughtful scenario what might happen in @nzz.ch.

A few highlights.

"By leveraging media coverage, NoName057 portrays itself as a far more capable threat than it actually is."

Ukraine-Krieg: Wie eine russische Hackergruppe in der Schweiz Verunsicherung schürt NoName057 gibt sich als Gruppe von Internet-Aktivisten aus, welche Feinde Russlands angreifen. In der Schweiz ist sie mit ihrer Einschüchterung erfolgreich.

NoName057 is a highly organized group with financial resources (although they might have been cut a bit some months ago).

I wrote down some background on NoName057, which is still relevant.

With the World Economic Forum starting in Davos, the DDoS attacks of NoNameo57 are back in Switzerland.

Some local websites cannot be accessed. The most important one seems from the railway RhB.

But don't fall for the false narrative that hacktivists are attacking Switzerland.

Russland könnte deutsche Bundestagswahl beeinflussen: Wie sich Demokratien schützen können Die Stärke von Demokratien ist es, andere Meinungen zuzulassen. Autoritäre Staaten wir Russland nutzen dies aus. Die westlichen Staaten müssen handeln.

Russland könnte versuchen, die Bundestagswahl in Deutschland zu beeinflussen.

Was können westliche Staaten gegen Manipulation und Desinformation tun?

Verbote sind heikel.

Ich habe mir überlegt, in welche Richtung die Massnahmen gehen müssten.

Guter kommentar von @lukasmaeder.bsky.social in @nzz.ch zu den Desinformationskampagne gegen westlichen demokratie (S. 17).

Und in Bern dummer Kommissionsentscheid sur massiven Schwächung der SRG, somit eines Pfeiler der Informationsouvränität der Schweiz.
Naiver gehts nicht!

How Chinese spies gained access to major US telephone providers A group of hackers with ties to the Chinese government has gained access to call data from major U.S. telecommunications providers. The sophisticated approach is almost impossible to counteract.

It's interesting: it seems to me that the Salt Typhoon hack targeting US telecom companies didn't get much attention in the European media.

Although several EU countries probably are among the victims of this espionage campaign.

For me it shows how spy trade works today

Astonishing. Still not sure about how to explain that.

Looks like they're kind of bored doing such stuff.

I wonder what happened to NoName in the last few months. They closed the english Telegram channel and stopped posting pictured of the DDoSed sites all day long.

Did someone reduce their budget?

Die Logistik in den US-Häfen ist fest in chinesischer Hand. Das ist ein Risiko für die USA Kommt es zum offenen Konflikt zwischen China und den USA, hätte Peking ein perfektes Mittel, um seinem Konkurrenten zu schaden. Warum Hafenkräne ein Risiko sind

The US sees Chinese ship-to-shore-cranes as a threat to national security. Almost 80% of this cranes in US harbors are from China.

Europe is often bedazzled and denies this concerns as protectionism.

I've tried to explain why this is too simple (in German) ⬇️

Apple still blocking access to news apps and podcasts at Moscow’s request For the third time, Apple has removed a news app by the U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) from its Russian version of the App Store, the media outlet said.

Astonishing and disturbing how Apple is cooperating with the authoritarian Regime in Moscow. Not new, though.

You're right. "Success" is not a precise wording. It's very hard to measure the impact of an influence operation because you don't know how the result would have been without it.

But I would say: the impact of foreign influence operations was very limited because it never reached a broader audience

I did look back on the influence operations before the U.S. elections with @hultquist.bsky.social.

Many experts feared that foreign hackers would interfere with the U.S. elections this year. But no major influence operation succeeded.

Why was that?
