Five Years On: Lessons Learned From the Colonial Pipeline Cyber-Attack - ⁦@Infosecurity⁩ Magazine infosecurity-magazine.com/opinions/lesso…

In the modern battlespace, finding the frontline is even harder… It’s on our phones. Our credit cards. In our “news” feeds. Our universities. It’s buried in obscure engineering code bases and popular apps. The next conflict will happen everywhere. It already is.

Never forget Reagan’s reaction to a balloon popping during a speech he gave in West Berlin, 1987- just six years after being shot and wounded in a real assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr.

@haugejostein Beijing committed to becoming dominant in all these technologies before the 1st Trump Admin. We know this because they told us so through Made in China 2025 and policy initiatives dating back to the 1990s. This pre-dates the US hawkishness that you identify as “the problem.”

It's hard to find a geopolitical gambit that has backfired as much as the trade war waged by the US against China since 2018. China didn't actively start looking for weapons in trade policy — such as the critical minerals card — until the first Trump administration applied steep tariffs. Sweeping bans and restrictions on semiconductor exports under both Trump and Biden, as well as specific blacklisting of Chinese companies through entity list additions, have motivated Chinese companies to strengthen supply chain resilience and become more innovative. Huawei, BYD, DeepSeek, SMIC, and COMAC are prime examples of companies where US hawkishness has served as an unintentional innovation catalyst — what some are calling “creative insecurity.” Of course, the evolution of China's national system of innovation cannot be overlooked here. But US hawkishness toward China has undoubtedly motivated China to seek more leverage in trade policy and innovate faster.

AI Is Forcing a Rethink in Cybersecurity: “You can’t be cavalier about the fact that this is going to have some potential disruptive possibilities” Sanjay Poonen @spoonen @Cohesity wsj.com/pro/cybersecur… @WSJ

Long piece on future cyber issues for the UN (once they get tired of embroidering the 2015 norms). Thanks to RUSI's Louise Marie Hurel for publishing. It's ambitious, but the last set of negotiations took more than a decade from start to finish. rusi.org/explore-our-re…

Strider’s latest report details how Iranian entities leverage front companies, intermediaries, and dual-use technologies sourced from international markets to maintain drone production and distribution. A central case study in the report examines Pars Aero Institute Kerman, an Iranian drone supplier with documented ties to the country’s military ecosystem. Strider identified relationships between Pars Aero and suppliers in the PRC & Hong Kong, including companies that are partners of U.S.-sanctioned entities for ties to the PLA. The three entities detailed in the report are not found on any U.S. or allied sanction list.
