New 2020 cyber trends report now out!

The new Recent Cyber Events and Possible Implications for Armed Forces report gives high-level analysis on major 2020 cyber trends - direct link to report here: https://t.co/QRAhG3TXIw
Section 1: Overview of Solarwinds and the extended campaign that resulted in the breach of several US government agencies. A discussion on supply chain security management and how vulnerabilities compounded to make the attack possible (and un-detected).
Section 2: A development of cyber norms and international law. The pandemic, state pronouncements and UN-sponsored processes on international law and cyber, space recognised as a domain & the plans for Tallinn 3.0. See CCDCOE's Cyber Law Toolkit for more: https://t.co/5T4ry5wAK4
Section 3: 5G and supply chain infrastructure - the importance of secure communications with implications for both civilian and military use. Noting the use of legislation and market competitors, the @CCDCOE announced a major research project into 5G rollouts in 2021.
Section 4: The Future of AI and Security. AI-enabled is still relatively immature - but has vast potential capabilities. Fake news and applications in cybersecurity are both pressing areas of focus, as are long-term focuses on interoperability and international collaboration.
Big thanks to our CCDCOE Intern @marguer_ite for her excellent contributions on this topic!
Section 5: Ransomware in 2020. COVID-19 themed email campaigns and an attacker focus on healthcare providers. The @CCDCOE will be releasing the 'Cyber Investigator's Handbook' in 2021 - a guide providing the cyber community with guidelines on managing and handling an incident.
Section 6: Attacks on Critical Infrastructure. The pandemic represents 'perfect storm' for CI attacks- remote management of systems, decentralised workforces, expanded outsourcing and outdated software. Vaccine distribution infrastructure a priority moving forward.
Section 7: Digitalisation and the 'Digital Workspace'. NATO and affiliated Agencies have all had to manage the shift to remote working - raising interesting challenges around interoperability and secure platforms to share information. Trial and error helped the CCDCOE adapt.
That's all folks. For a deeper dive into the content - the full report once again: https://t.co/QRAhG3TXIw. The authors are open to feedback and suggestions - contact details at end of the report.

Ok, I’ve told this story a few times, but maybe never here. Here we go. 🧵👇


I was about 6. I was in the car with my mother. We were driving a few hours from home to go to Orlando. My parents were letting me audition for a tv show. It would end up being my first job. I was very excited. But, in the meantime we drove and listened to Rush’s show.

There was some sort of trivia question they posed to the audience. I don’t remember what the riddle was, but I remember I knew the answer right away. It was phrased in this way that was somehow just simpler to see from a kid’s perspective. The answer was CAROUSEL. I was elated.

My mother was THRILLED. She insisted that we call Into the show using her “for emergencies only” giant cell phone. It was this phone:


I called in. The phone rang for a while, but someone answered. It was an impatient-sounding dude. The screener. I said I had the trivia answer. He wasn’t charmed, I could hear him rolling his eyes. He asked me what it was. I told him. “Please hold.”

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!
