From US Department of Justice: "On Oct. 15, 2020, a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh returned an indictment charging six computer hackers, all of whom were residents and nationals of the Russian Federation (Russia) and officers in Unit 74455 of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), a military intelligence agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.  These GRU hackers and their co-conspirators engaged in computer intrusions and attacks intended to support Russian government efforts to undermine, retaliate against, or otherwise destabilize: (1) Ukraine; (2) Georgia; (3) elections in France; (4) efforts to hold Russia accountable for its use of a weapons-grade nerve agent, Novichok, on foreign soil; and (5) the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games after Russian athletes were banned from participating under their nation’s flag, as a consequence of Russian government-sponsored doping effort.  Their computer attacks used some of the world’s most destructive malware to date, including: KillDisk and Industroyer, which each caused blackouts in Ukraine; NotPetya, which caused nearly $1 billion in losses to the three victims identified in the indictment alone; and Olympic Destroyer, which disrupted thousands of computers used to support the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy, computer hacking, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and false registration of a domain name." Returning to Research Saturday this week to discuss their research of NotPetya and Olympic Destroyer are Cisco Talos' Craig Williams and Matt Olney.

In today's episode we're delighted to welcome Chloé Messdaghi, an infosec advocate and activist who is working to create a safe space for underrepresented groups within the industry.Chloé is the CEO and founder of We are Hackerz, as well as the cofounder of Hacking is not a crime, Women of Security and The Hacker Book Club, and she is also VP of Strategy at Point3 Security.We chat about the growing issue of burnout and how people can spot the signs within themselves and others. Chloé also reveals how she comes up with her ideas, and how she is seeking to address certain issues in the cybersecurity industry such as women and underrepresented groups being trolled online. Plus, we discuss the fight for the truth in a growing age of misinformation.Our second guest is Warren Mercer, a threat researcher from Cisco Talos who helped to discover the Olympic Destroyer attack in 2018. Warren is in the studio with Ben and Hazel to discuss the research he’s being doing on the evolution of Remote Access Trojans, and one of the newest players, Poetrat. We also discuss his starring role in the new multi part documentary by Tomorrow Unlocked, called 'Who hacked the 2018 Winter games’. That then brings us onto the topic of why attribution is so difficult in the threat landscape, and what some of the consequences are of misattribution.

In February 2018, during the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang South Korea, a cyber attack struck, wiping out a lot of the Olympic’s digital infrastructure. Teams rushed to get things back up, but it was bad. Malware had repeatedly wiped the domain controllers rendering a lot of the network unusable. Who would do such a thing? We will talk with Andy Greenberg to discuss Olympic Destroyer, a chapter from his book Sandworm (affiliate link). Sponsors Support for this show comes from Linode.

In this CyberWire special edition, a conversation with Andy Greenberg, senior writer at WIRED and author of the new book "Sandworm -  A New Era of CyberWar and the Hunt for the Kremlin’s Most Dangerous Hackers." It’s a thrilling investigation of the Olympic Destroyer malware, and an accounting of the new era in which we find ourselves, where nation states can target their adversaries critical infrastructure, and the often unintended consequences that follow. Thanks to our sponsors McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company. 

The first thing you should read about cybersecurity this week, if you somehow haven't already, is this in-depth look at Olympic Destroyer, the malware that plagued the Pyeongchang Olympics. An excerpt from WIRED senior writer Andy Greenberg's upcoming book Sandworm, the feature from our November issue details how investigators figured out who was behind the attack—a trickier puzzle to solve than you might think.

Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+: Test der High-End-Smartphones Nach knapp drei Tagen im c't-Testlabor fällt die Redaktion ein erstes Urteil über das Samsung Galaxy S9 und S9+: Es sind tolle Smartphones mit Detailverbesserungen. Äußerlich hat sich beim S9 und S9+ nur die Position der Kamera und des Fingerabdruckscanners an der Rückseite geändert. Unter der Haube hat Samsung vor allem Prozessor, Kamera und Lautsprecher verbessert. Olympic Destroyer: Hackerangriff auf die Olympischen Spiele lief unter falscher Flagge Während der Eröffnungsfeier der Olympischen Spiele in Südkorea kam es zu einem Angriff auf die IT-Infrastruktur der Veranstalter. Wurden zunächst Angreifer aus Nordkorea verdächtigt, ging man später von Angreifern aus Russland aus. Als Motiv wurde Rache für den Ausschluss russischer Athleten nach Dopingvorwürfen vermutet. Neue Erkenntnisse von Sicherheitsforschern der Firma Kaspersky, die Zugang zu der Malware hatten, legen jedoch jetzt nahe, dass der Angriff wohl nur eine Übung war, anderen einen Cyberangriff in die Schuhe zu schieben. Elektrohändler Saturn eröffnet ersten kassenlosen Markt Einkaufen ohne Wartezeit an der Kasse: Der Elektroriese Saturn hat am Donnerstag im österreichischen Innsbruck seine erste kassenlose Filiale eröffnet. Das Unternehmen will damit den stationären Handel besser mit dem Geschäft im Netz verbinden. Kunden können bei dem Pilotprojekt das gewünschte Produkt direkt am Regal bezahlen und den Laden verlassen. Möglich sei dies durch eine App, die den Preis der Waren scanne und den Bezahlvorgang via Kreditkarte oder PayPal regle, teilte das Unternehmen mit. Studie: Unwahre Twitter-Inhalte verbreiten sich schneller als die Wahrheit Viele Menschen lieben Gerüchte und aufregende Neuigkeiten. Das schlägt sich auch auf Twitter nieder. Manchmal verbreiten sich dann auch unwahre Inhalte rasend schnell. US-Forschern vom MIT zufolge hat ein unwahrer Inhalt – etwa ein Bild, eine Behauptung oder ein Link zu einem Onlineartikel – eine um 70 Prozent höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit, weiter verbreitet zu werden. Ob die untersuchten unwahren Behauptungen und Nachrichten mit Absicht verbreitet wurden, nahm die Studie aber nicht unter die Lupe.

The 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang recently concluded, but not without attempts at disruption from cyberattackers. A major telecom and IT provider was targeted with a multi-pronged campaign to gather credentials, move laterally within networks, and destroy data. It borrows bits of code from previously known campaigns, and was an aggressive effort to spread quickly and cause maximum damage to systems. Greg Lesnewich is a threat intelligence analyst with Recorded Future’s Insikt Group, and he joins us to provide an overview of the malware campaign named Olympic Destroyer. We’ll get technical details, as well as a sense for why attribution is notoriously difficult in cases like this, and whether or not we’re seeing evidence of a false flag operation.
