Threats sent to American officers’ wives in the name of ISIS, the blackout of TV5 Monde, the leaks targeting WADA and the Democratic Party… Behind them all stands the same name: APT28, linked to Russian military intelligence.
Lacking the strength to counter-attack, Ukraine is resorting to tactics as old as antiquity, from caltrops dropped by drones to soldiers hit while in the toilet. The war has turned into a war of attrition once again.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ended decades of neutrality: Finland and Sweden applied to join NATO. Prolonged by objections from Turkey and Hungary, the process was completed in 2024.
Meetings, training and collaboration now happen on screen. But not every video-conferencing tool offers the same security. Zoom’s problems and the advantages of the open-source BigBlueButton.
Democratic or totalitarian, states sometimes step outside the rules they have set themselves. Assassinations and terrorist attacks are among the darkest tools of covert operations, and the truth often comes out far too late.
A call involving the Chief of the German Air Force was intercepted by the Russians and published by RT’s editor-in-chief. “The bear is back”: kompromat, disinformation and the West’s reflexes.
How did the Russians intercept a WebEx call in which four German officers discussed Taurus missiles? A hotel in Singapore, fake Wi-Fi networks and long-range antennas: three possibilities.
The West gives Ukraine enough support not to lose, but not enough to win. Even so, whenever “game changers” such as HIMARS, Storm Shadow and sea drones arrived, the course of the war shifted.
Tesla can give its cars new headlight features with a software update. The German armed forces are moving to “software-defined defence” on the same logic, and Platform42 is the accelerator of this transformation.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2024 named the biggest risk of the next two years: AI-powered misinformation and disinformation. What does that mean in a year when three billion people go to the polls?
The task of intelligence is to see threats coming. AI is changing the balance in this race, and it brings new risks too, from fake images to the analytical capacity of terrorist organisations.
SIEM monitors, EDR detects; but what manages them all from one centre and responds to threats automatically? SOAR systems, the new conductors of cybersecurity teams.
Hours before Russia invaded Ukraine, it was cyberattacks, not tanks, that crossed the border first. DDoS attacks and data-wiping malware showed how the battlefield is shaped in modern war.
More than 5 billion people use social media, and in 2024 humanity will spend more than 500 million years on it in total. The global digital report sums up our internet habits in figures.
From the telegraph to radar, from GPS to AI: weapon systems are now defined more by software than by hardware. The lines of code in fighter jets multiply with every generation.
