North Korean operatives are exploiting #identitymanagement flaws to secure legitimate jobs globally, using fake resumes and fabricated digital profiles on platforms like GitHub and LinkedIn. bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

🚀 The Ecole Superieure d’Informatique, Electronique, Automatique's (ESIEA) Cybersecurity Seminars program is live! @jamesshires.bsky.social joined students & faculty in Paris to explore global cybersecurity synergies 🌍 🔗 Event recap: virtual-routes.org/esiea-launch...

In early April, @jamesshires.bsky.social chaired a panel on the availability of cyber intrusion tools and services at the 2nd Pall Mall Process conference. The discussion generated recommendations that can inform the implementation of the CCIC Code of Practice 👉 virtual-routes.org/virtual-rout...

Cyber operations are often either underhyped or overhyped. While life-threatening attacks get little attention, routine intelligence operations are treated as hostile #cyberattacks, clouding public perception, writes @lawsecnet.counterintelligence.pl. bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

European Cybersecurity fellow Kritika Roy explores the continuing debate over commercial cyber threat intelligence: is it essential or redundant given the rise of free, open-source intelligence? #CTI #OSINT bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

The #Prabowo administration has cut cyber budgets, stopped work on the #cyberforce, and generally deprioritised #cybersecurity. This shift risks leaving #Indonesia ill-prepared for rising cyber threats. bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

Binding Hook is excited to introduce @virtualroutes.bsky.social newest cohort of European Cybersecurity fellows with a short series exploring their answers to some of the biggest questions in #cybersecurity today: bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

🚨 Introducing the Pharos Reports - a new series shedding light on #Cybersecurity and #EmergingTech challenges with expert analysis! Read the first report in the series, The Ransomware Playbook and How to Disrupt It, authored by @maxwsmeets.bsky.social: virtual-routes.org/introducing-...

Reports suggest the Trump administration directed key agencies to pause #cyberoperations against Russia, reigniting debate about the need for #initiativepersistence in cyberspace. Where do private-sector organisations fit in? bindinghook.com/articles-bin...

Before the Gaza war, cybersecurity was once at the forefront of the UAE and Israel's burgeoning diplomatic ties - where did it go?

Generative AI is transforming cyber threat intelligence, enabling cybersecurity teams to quickly identify risks and respond in near real-time. Unclear regulation might limit these benefits, writes Omree Wechsler: bindinghook.com/articles-bin... #GenerativeAI #CyberThreatIntelligence #Cybersecurity

Thanks everyone for such a productive meeting. The world has changed a lot since this project started, especially regarding technology and geopolitics, and our research needs to be just as agile and focused on the big challenges ahead.

In Mahmoud Javadi’s latest for Binding Hook, he argues that the Nordic-Baltic 8 can revitalise Europe’s Gaia-X collective cloud initiative, a boost for European economies, cyber sovereignty, and security. bindinghook.com/articles-bin...
