Has Amazon’s Ring Been Hacked? Ransomware Gang Posts Threat To Leak Data
Analyst Comments: The recent collapse of SVB has brought to light the severe repercussions that the failure of such a crucial institution can have on both its customers and the economy at large. In addition to creating a perfect storm for fraud, fear, and chaos have also led to a significant increase in cybercriminal activity. It is therefore essential for businesses to remain vigilant and well-prepared to defend themselves against the mounting onslaught of attacks that seek to exploit the current market instability. However, it should be noted that the recent bailout by the national federal reserve merely kicks the can down the road and does not address the underlying issues that led to SVB's collapse.
FROM THE MEDIA: Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which had a market capitalization of $44 billion, recently faced an existential crisis due to concerns about its liquidity following a downturn in its financial investments. This led to a debilitating run on deposits, and federal regulators had to take over the institution and freeze its remaining assets. This crisis serves as a reminder that fear and chaos create a perfect storm for fraud, as criminals and fraudsters see opportunities to make quick money in an environment of uncertainty and panicky responses. Cybercriminals are already aggressively exploiting company and investor fears by using various attack vectors and scams to hijack fear and uncertainty. These include phishing and smishing attacks, business email compromise scams, account takeover attacks on banking or fintech sites and apps, and spear phishing and social engineering attacks.

Has Amazon’s Ring Been Hacked? Ransomware Gang Posts Threat To Leak Data
Analyst Comments: If in fact, the breach of Ring by ALPHV is ligament this could potentially compromise corporate and customer data. While Ring devices support end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in most countries, it is not clear what data, if any, has been breached in this attack. The situation is still developing, and the company has yet to confirm whether a ransomware event has occurred. If confirmed, it could have significant implications for Ring's customers and Amazon's reputation. The fact that ALPHV has a searchable database of victims who do not pay suggests that this is not an isolated incident and could be part of a broader campaign by the ransomware group.
FROM THE MEDIA: ALPHV, a ransomware group known for its BlackCat attacks, claims to have breached Ring, a doorbell and security camera company owned by Amazon, and threatens to publish its data. The ransomware group created a searchable database of victims who do not pay, which is accessible by affiliate groups. Currently, it is unknown what data has been breached, and there is no advice for Ring users at this time. However, Ring devices support end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which, if enabled, means that neither Amazon nor law enforcement, nor ransomware groups could access uploaded footage. A Ring spokesperson stated that there are no indications of a ransomware event. This story is developing, and the security teams at Amazon are investigating the situation.

China exerts control over internet cable projects in the South China Sea
Analyst Comments: China's restrictions on undersea cable activities are causing tension in the industry and making companies avoid waters claimed by China, which can be more expensive and take longer to lay cables. The cost of contracting boats for cable laying and maintenance is about $100,000 a day, making companies reluctant to risk any action that could be blocked or sabotaged. This signifies a strategic move by China to exert more control over undersea activities and secure its own interests.
FROM THE MEDIA: China has begun delaying approval and requiring stricter requirements, including permits for work conducted outside its internationally recognized territorial waters, which has pushed companies to design routes that avoid the South China Sea. China is trying to exert more control over undersea activities in its region, possibly to prevent US surveillance systems from being installed as part of undersea cable deployment. The Chinese government also wants to know exactly where civilian undersea infrastructure is installed for its own mapping purposes. The cable under construction called SJC2, which will connect Japan to Singapore as well as Taiwan and Hong Kong, has been delayed by more than a year because of Chinese objections and lengthy permit issues. Several sources said that to avoid deadlock over permits, subsea cable consortiums are now seeking to forge new routes that circumvent China's claimed waters.

Russia’s Wagner Group in Africa: Growing concerns of the West
Analyst Comments: Wagner Group's activities are a threat to the people in the countries where they operate and the EU. Moscow is capitalizing on longstanding African grievances toward their former Western European colonizers to push a narrative about Russia representing an alternative power that counters French influence in Africa. It is a cause for concern for Western policymakers that Moscow's ability to leverage its influence in Africa via the Wagner Group in ways that can create problems for Southern European countries, given that NATO's southern flank remains relatively understaffed in terms of both personnel and maritime forces compared to its eastern flank. The West has few options for countering Moscow's clout in the Sahel and Central Africa.
FROM THE MEDIA: Russia has been making inroads in Africa by exploiting the region's longstanding grievances against their former Western European colonizers, especially in areas where there is a mix of terrorism, poverty, weak states, and volatility. The Wagner Group, a shadowy Russian mercenary force linked to the Kremlin, has found a security partner in some local state and non-state actors in the Sahel and Central Africa who have failed to effectively combat terrorist groups on their own. European and U.S. officials view the Wagner Group's operations in Africa as a threat at a time when NATO's southern flank is somewhat exposed and post-Cold War tensions between the West and Moscow are at an all-time high. Western interests are hurt in either scenario of actively pushing back against Russian inroads or sitting back and saying, "I told you so," when Russia ultimately withdraws.

Ukraine Scrambles to Draft Cyber Law, Legalizing Its Volunteer Hacker Army
Analyst Comments: Current efforts by the Ukrainian government to create a formal cyber reserve could help in building a more effective defense against cyber threats and ensure accountability in wartime. However, the use of civilian volunteers in war, even only online, blurs the line between combatants and civilians, and it is unclear what counts as "direct participation in hostilities" in cyberspace. It is also unclear what the application of international law to military cyber operations might mean in practice. Overall, the creation of a cyber reserve is a significant tactical move that could enhance Ukraine's cyber defense capabilities.
FROM THE MEDIA: The IT Army has been responsible for several cyber attacks, including attacks on Russian state media, but has also drawn criticism for attacking Russian hospitals and other civilian targets. The group operates remotely from wherever the members are located and have been functioning in a legal gray area. The new law aims to build the state's cyber defense capabilities, engage cyber volunteers in these activities, and create a cyber reserve. The Ukrainian government is looking to adopt the Estonian model of a cyber reserve, which identifies conscripts with technical aptitude during their post-high school compulsory military service and provides them with additional training in cybersecurity and defense. The move is significant in building Ukraine's cyber defense capabilities and creating a more formal force to augment Ukraine's regular military. However, legal questions remain unanswered, and the use of civilian volunteers in war undermines accountability in wartime.

Propaganda in the digital age: How cyber influence operations erode trust
Analyst Comments: A recent increase in cyber-influence operations poses a significant threat to public opinion and democratic processes. Cyber influence campaigns can lead to several types of harm, including market manipulation, payment fraud, vishing, impersonations, brand damage, reputational damage, and botnets. If we can no longer trust what we see and hear, any compromising image, audio, or video of a public or private figure can be dismissed as fake, which is known as The Liar’s Dividend. The four strategic pillars for helping protect against foreign propaganda are: detect, defend, disrupt, and deter. More coordination and information sharing across government, the private sector, and civil society is needed to increase transparency and expose and disrupt these influence campaigns.
FROM THE MEDIA: Nation-state actors are increasingly using sophisticated influence operations to distribute propaganda and impact public opinion, resulting in a 900% year-over-year increase in the proliferation of deep fakes since 2019. To combat this trend, organizations must take a holistic approach to protect against cyber-influence operations. There are three stages to a cyber-influence operation: pre-positioning, launch, and amplification. Cyber influence campaigns can lead to several types of harm, including market manipulation, payment fraud, vishing, impersonations, brand damage, reputational damage, and botnets. Increased coordination and information sharing across government, the private sector, and civil society is needed to increase transparency and expose and disrupt these influence campaigns.

Space debris: A problem that’s only getting bigger (Video)
FROM THE MEDIA: Space debris is a growing problem, with over 128 million objects larger than a millimeter orbiting Earth, including inactive satellites and paint flakes. Even a small piece of debris traveling at high speeds can cause catastrophic damage to satellites. The number of satellites has increased dramatically, with 1,283 launched in 2020 alone. Private companies like SpaceX, Amazon, OneWeb Corporation, Hong Gyan, and Telesat plan to send tens of thousands more satellites into orbit. Collisions between satellites can create thousands of pieces of debris, leading to a chain reaction and the Kessler Syndrome, rendering Earth's orbit unusable. There are efforts to remove larger pieces of debris using nets, harpoons, and robotic arms, but smaller pieces remain a challenge. Without innovative solutions, we will have to rely on ground and satellite-based observatories to monitor the skies.
