Sandworm Hackers Caused Another Blackout in Ukraine—During a Missile Strike
By Andy Greenberg; 9 Nov 2023
The notorious unit of Russia's GRU military intelligence agency known as Sandworm remains the only team of hackers to have ever triggered blackouts with their cyberattacks, turning off the lights for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians not once, but twice within the past decade. Now it appears that in the midst of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, the group has achieved another dubious distinction in the history of cyberwar: It targeted civilians with a blackout attack at the same time missile strikes hit their city, an unprecedented and brutal combination of digital and physical warfare.

The global landscape is rapidly changing, demanding a new defense strategy to address emerging threats. Dive into our latest article on FutureWerx, where we explore a commission's urgent recommendations for innovative defense approaches. Stay informed on the critical changes shaping our security future.
Citizen science projects can help communities become more resilient and prepared for emergencies. Public participation in disaster preparedness drills, environmental monitoring, and public health surveillance can strengthen community responses to crises.
In its new report, the Commission on the National Defense Strategy warns of mounting security threats, stresses innovation, and recommends strengthening the DoD as part of an "all elements of national power" approach to security.
Geopolitical threats are a pressing concern for organisations in both the public and private sectors. As the world's militaries retool and rearm themselves, organisations must follow suit and reinvent their security strategies. However, changing an organisation's security posture can take years, just like changing a military strategy.

An excellent report by RAND and worth reading. Overcoming the procurement, cultural and institutional barriers surrounding COTS equipment made mission capable with software must be addressed. Conflating IP rights with vendor lock keeps highly capable systems from getting into the hands of our warfighters.
“DoD should spend the majority of its R&D and procurement funds on modern technology that can be updated and modernized easily and at low cost. DoD should recognize the value of software and better organize its business practices accordingly. Companies should see an incentive and patriotic duty to work with DoD, be freed from excessive regulation, and be allowed to innovate to solve problems rather than meet overly engineered requirements.”

MARFORCYBER is key in addressing cybersecurity concerns in the Marine Corps, ensuring new technologies from vendors enhance security without introducing risks. This role is vital for operational integrity in the digital battlefield.
Is MARFORCYBER actually preventing Marine Corps units from becoming a "Lethality Liability"? How is MARFORCYBER ensuring that the Marine Corps networks are not being continuously exposed to risks and endangering troops in combat environments when units are allowed to procure vulnerable equipment at will? What is it exactly are they doing to mitigate this?

This is a great read on how Special Operations Forces are adjusting to the modern operating environment. That said, there’s a lot to unpack from this short piece.
“For example, USSOF’s civil affairs and psychological operations capabilities, though currently underutilized, are essential for strategic competition.”
I don’t know that these forces are “underutilized.” I think that there’s more demand than capacity.
I also think that the real danger is these forces can be mis-utilized. The effects that these specialists can achieve, when harnessed properly, can shape an operating environment and set conditions that are favorable to an organization’s objectives. This is especially true when they are employed proactively.
Said differently, shaping a narrative in the information environment vice reacting to how others spread information is the most effective way to employ information. Too often, leaders want to respond to the information environment rather than lead the discussion.
Winston Churchill once said of FDR: “[He] tended to ‘follow public opinion rather than form it and lead it.’”
Sage advice from the British Bulldog…
