Scary new paper out from Brett Goldstein at @vanderbilt.edu about the Chinese use of AI to do "Minority Report" style anticipatory policing of potential dissidents. Based on leaked documents from a Chinese commercial spyware vendor.

Food for thought for all those attending #ASCEND this week.
As space becomes a warfighting domain, the race is on to develop cyber tools that can defend the unique, proprietary networks of satellites against cyberattack from foreign cyberwarriors & online spies. My story

So I don't envy the NIST team as they embark on a rewrite of Special Publication 800-82, Guide to Operational Technology (OT) Security. Because it's not a rulemaking (the guidance isn't mandatory) the comments NIST asked for from stakeholders, experts and others aren't published.

ICYMI, my story looks at the implications of the AI-assissted cyber intrusion into the network of a municipal water utility in Monterrey, Mexico. With analysis from Dragos Inc's Jay Deen and commentary from @marcussachs.bsky.social. Their conclusions might surprise you.

ICYMI last week, here is my story on the new guidance from CISA adapting #ZeroTrust from IT to operational technology/industrial control systems (OT/ICS)
To be blunt, the reaction from most of the experts I spoke to was pretty "meh," and several thought there were gaps

I imagine revising one of the @nist.bsky.social canonical #cybersecurity guides must be like writing a new version of the bible. Every change, no matter how small, will be endlessly debated. And whatever the outcome, some people are likely to be deeply pissed.

Water is one of the most critical services of all, and yet is one of the most poorly cyber-defended critical sectors, way behind power and telecommunications, which makes it a great target. My story for OT.Today, feat. @joshcorman.bsky.social & Piotr Kupisiewicz.

@deptofwar.bsky.social senior-most cyber official, Katie Sutton, gave new details at last week's #CyberWorkforceSummit about the "force generation" and personnel reforms being enacted under CyberCom 2.0, including skills based hiring & incentive pay.

The hacker who used @anthropic.com's Claude chatbot to help attack nine govt networks in Mexico showed no interest in ICS or operational tech systems til Claude id'ed an OT gateway as part of its recon, and labeled it a "crown jewels" asset, according to Dragos. My story
