  2. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security has an interesting article on #CybeSecurity #ThreatActors (adversaries) and their motivation.

    The article IMHO leaves out at some threat actors (which might not be that relevant for a commercial or critical infrastructure setting)

    • Abusive Partners
    • Stalkers
    • Kids

    while these could be seen as part of insider threats, I believe that their capabilities and opportunities are different from other insiders.
    And they are often overlooked when developing consumer products.
    Think of the problems with #AirTags or the bike theft "problem" with Strava.

    I really like this and are thinking of creating a game around it to raise security awareness (especially within development and designe of systems). #SeriousGames

    Idea is to have a collaborative game where you play through threats against your system. Starting with the Threat Actors, their intend, capabilities and opportunities.
    Going through techniques used (maybe using a subset of #MitreAttack but also common #SocialEngineering techniques).
    And then choosing mitigation and defense options.

    A bit of a mixture between #ElevationOfPrivilege/#EoP, #BackdoorsAndBreaches and #FearlessJourney

    "#ThreatActors connected to the North Korean government have been targeting #security #researchers in a hacking campaign that uses new techniques and #malware in hopes of gaining a foothold inside the companies the targets work for, researchers said.
    Researchers from security firm #Mandiant said on Thursday that they first spotted the campaign last June while tracking a phishing campaign targeting a #US-based customer in the #technology industry. The hackers in this campaign attempted to infect targets with three new malware families, dubbed by Mandiant as #Touchmove, #Sideshow, and #Touchshift. The hackers in these attacks also demonstrated new capabilities to counter endpoint detection tools while operating inside targets’ #cloud environments."
