Update on Chinese cyberespionage incident. ICS vulnerabilities. USB attacks. New KEVs. Updates from Russia's hybrid war, as hacktivists swap DDoS attacks and observers draw lessons learned.
Developments in the case of China's cyberespionage against government Exchange users. Industrial controller vulnerabilities pose a risk to critical infrastructure. USB attacks have risen three-fold in the first half of 2023. CISA adds two vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. Ghostwriter's continued activity focuses on Poland and Ukraine. Hacktivist auxiliaries swap DDoS attacks. Awais Rashid from University of Bristol shares insights on threat modeling. Our guest is Chris Cochran from Huntress on the challenges small and medium sized businesses face with cyber security. And lessons learned from cyber warfare in Russia's war.
