Bluepurple Pulse: week ending November 27th

Rumblings around commercial offensive cyber capabilities rumble on..

Welcome to the weekly highlights and analysis of the blueteamsec subreddit (and my wider reading). Not everything makes it in, but the best bits do.

Operationally this week you will see below that the tit for tat between Russia and the world continues to create friction. Outside of that nothing beyond the usual background noise, which I note is still material.

In the high-level this week:

• MEPs discuss technical vulnerabilities related to spyware with experts - good to see this happens and the level of technical insight provided.

  • Video of the debate here from Thursday this week

• India has released the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022 - You can see that India is rapidly accelerating in terms of governance on a related set of matters around cyber and similar.

• How the FBI Stumbled in the War on Cybercrime - a long read which is likely unsympathetic to getting anything done in any organisation.

• Multi-stakeholder Governance of Cyberspace – Merely a Myth? - bit of a moan more than anythin…
