France links IRGC linked entity to individual cyber-enabled sabotage against refrigeration systems at consumer grocery stores in Europe.

🔴 L'Iran est désormais officiellement accusé d'être à l'origine de la cyberattaque massive des frigos de supermarchés, il y a un mois.

Le parquet de Paris ouvre ainsi une enquête pour des infractions "aggravées par la circonstance d’avoir été commises dans le but de servir une puissance étrangère".

Elle vise plus précisément "le chef du groupe iranien Shahid Kaveh, unité cyber offensive affiliée au Centre électronique et cyber du Corps des Gardiens de la Révolution (CGRI-CEC), ses deux adjoints et toute autre personne qui serait identifiée".

🧵 New report from our #TDR team: #APT29 ran a large-scale watering hole campaign against iOS and Android users via compromised legitimate sites, cloned high-profile sites, and a one-week supply-chain compromise of the Ukrainian analytics tracker Plerdy.

A long wait is over and The Russian General Staff is now OUT in stores.

Let me give you a little bit of information about the book, and why you need to think about the institution you haven’t really thought about.

Let’s go —>

@sherrod_im @ZackKorman Orthogonally directional, yes.

Beyond the discussions delivered from our speakers, SOS is made up a diverse community of researchers and thinkers motivated by the same problems. You are bound to find your force multiplier here.

I'll highlight some of the talks in the coming days, but for now, get registered... then get your ass to Brussels!

Central to this year's agenda are explorations into sabotage, expanded forms of espionage, and attribution of some of the most prominent state-sponsored operations and actors.

Key SME's will deliver tactically relevant and strategically important discussions for disruption.

The SBU arrested an officer who was serving as a commander of a special purpose group in Ukraine's National Guard for serving as an agent of Russia's GRU since July. According to law enforcement, for $1,000 in cryptocurrency, he gave the GRU access to his personal account on Delta by connecting through a third-party device. He was also given instructions to sabotage military vehicles for money and record the results on video.

‼️🇷🇺 I promised a longer thread on what's inside our big military elite report. In lieu of itemizing the executive summary (you can read that yourself) or hitting a few key toplines, I thought I'd walk you through with graphs, charts, and the like. Thread below... ⤵️
