We are aware of a breach of the Army’s Twitter and YouTube accounts and an investigation is underway. The Army takes information security extremely seriously and is resolving the issue. Until their investigation is complete it would be inappropriate to comment further.

Cyber persistence holds promise for norms because it aligns with core characteristics of cyberspace that motivate malicious behavior, and builds momentum for new rules of customary law for the cyber context. From Dr. Fischerkeller:

The counterintelligence effect of disclosures, including indictments, is very hard to assess—behavioral effects will be nuanced, indirect, and evolving over time. Note disclosures for CI purposes have a very long history

Mikko Hypponen on Ukraine and cyberwar.

-

This is the sort of thing I’ve been talking about wrt to how Ukraine protects itself against Russian cyber. They migrate to services that are safer against Russian cyber capabilities, that is, international remote cloud solutions. This makes them harder to attack, because they are using updated patched software, and also harder to attack safely, because Russia has to hack a big Western company as well. I’ll post a longer piece on this I think.
