Hybrid war and disinfo from the swamp. Stormous hacks on behalf of Russia. DNS poisoning risk. Updates on Chinese cyberespionage campaigns. Notes on ransomware operations.

Russia has been rerouting internet traffic in occupied regions of Ukraine through Russian services, which could lead to increased surveillance and control over the region's online activities. The Stormous gang, known for their ransomware attacks, has been linked to Russia and targets both the US and Ukraine. A DNS poisoning risk has been identified in a popular C standard library, putting IoT devices at risk. Experts have also analyzed chats between Conti and Hive ransomware gangs and their victims, revealing insights into their operations. Meanwhile, Chinese cyberespionage campaigns continue, with the "Override Panda" hackers resurfacing with new attacks. The cybersecurity industry is likened to the 1849 California Gold Rush, with many companies rushing to stake their claim. Eldan Ben-Haim of Apiiro emphasizes that cybersecurity is largely a culture issue, requiring a shift in mindset to effectively address threats.
