The Royal Navy is closely shadowing the Russian spy ship Yantar as it moves through the English Channel. Seen here, the Yantar is flanked by the frigate HMS Somerset, guarding against what the UK calls "the growing Russian threat to offshore infrastructure in European seas."

Finally had some time to dig into the subsea cable cuts in the Baltic Sea that have gotten a lot of attention lately. Due to the rich fabric of connectivity in the region, the loss of the two cables caused minimal disruption. However, here are some subtle BGP impacts I was able to identify. 🧵

It's fantastic to see that @wired.com has joined forces with "BR" and Netzpolitik to follow up on the stellar"Adint"-research , focusing on data tracking and how it reveals insame amounts of private data. www.wired.com/story/phone-...

Networks recovering from power outages might become vulnerable to cyber attacks by exposing services they didn't intend to. Our PhD student Zahra presented a 1st study of this idea & won the IMC Best Poster Award at IMC 2024! www.linkedin.com/posts/intern... @pearce.bsky.social @acm-imc.bsky.social

Russian intel / sabotage ship Yantar is smack on top of some of Europes most important comms cable in the Irish Sea. We know this because she put on her AIS for 4 minutes (ergo, this is a show for an audience). Last seen a few days ago with an oiler and a frigate. Visual and AIS. More maps👇🏽👇🏽.
