Summary

In this special edition of CyberWire Daily’s 10th anniversary series, N2K CyberWire's Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner discuss cybersecurity geopolitics and warfare that have been in the news over the past 10 years. We begin our conversation around the supply chain malware from the destructive NotPetya campaign out of Russia, then Maria and Dave highlight: Olympic Destroyer disrupting the Pyeongchang Games, CozyBear's SolarWinds espionage campaign, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware disruption, Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine paired with Viasat hack, Iranian hackers attacking ICS devices at water treatment plants in Israel, and China's VoltTyphoon and SaltTyphoon intrusions in critical sectors. Join us as we reflect on the escalation from election interference and disruption, to espionage and ransomware as national security crises, to integration in kinetic war,and now expansion into space, with AI-driven defenses and NATO codifying cyber as a collective defense domain.
