In this month’s Hooked!, editor @katharinegk.bsky.social looks at some new details on the Great Firewall and recent Binding Hook articles on how countries from Japan to India are dealing with Chinese tech ascendency. bindinghook.com/hooked-9-lea...

Just as China’s approach to cyber operations has developed, so has its counter-attribution strategy. Western attribution strategies haven’t kept pace, argues @weberv.bsky.social in his latest for Binding Hook: bindinghook.com/chinas-attri...

Once hesitant, ‘middle powers’ like Singapore are now naming cyber actors, reshaping regional norms once dominated by Western nations. Arindrajit Basu and Gatra Priyandita look the exceptions: bindinghook.com/india-and-in...

🙌 This was Binding Hook Live — a day filled with incredible conversations and discussions on and off stage. Read more insights from Binding Hook Live by our Managing Editors James Shires and @maxwsmeets.bsky.social: bindinghook.com/insights-fro... 🎞️ youtu.be/MOr-eZ_IJfo?...

Despite progress in #cyberresilience, Japan’s constitutional limits and pacifist strategic culture still restrain fully offensive cyber operations. Read more from Abhishek Sharma: bindinghook.com/balancing-ex...

Research recently commissioned by UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology found that small- and medium-sized enterprises have a variety of reasons for not purchasing #cyberinsurance. What can be done to address this? bindinghook.com/why-dont-sma...

In his latest for Binding Hook, @lawrencesec.bsky.social looks at how internet service providers work within the system to evade sanctions and enable #cyberattacks and #disinformation campaigns: bindinghook.com/neutral-inte...
