Got to love the networking guys who are like I've known about sitting ducks for years there's nothing to see here. If you knew about the rampant abuse by Russian threat actors that is directly correlated to financial crime and data breaches around the world, shame on you. Lalala shame on you.

This attack is unbelievably powerful, easy, and preventable. It’s the criminal’s best kept secret. Much stealthier and more effective than dangling CNAMEs. We found many Russian-nexus actors, but we suspect there are more to be found. Please boost for awareness and hope we aren’t rediscovering this attack in another 6 years. Thanks to everyone contributed to our understanding of the attack and the actors using it … including Proofpoint, @rmceoin Dave Safely, Mandatory, and @briankrebs @dnsoarc #sittingducks #dns #domainhijacking #cybercrime #cybersecurity #infosec #threatintel #malware #phishing #tds #vextrio #404tds #threatintelligence #infoblox @knitcode https://blogs.infoblox.com/threat-intelligence/who-knew-domain-hijacking-is-so-easy/
When they say sleeper cells they mean republicanZ and conservativeZ
Russia has shot down 2 packed international passenger jets.
Russia has created war in many countries in Eastern Europe, the Baltic, the ME and Africa.
Russia is the world’s premier a terrorist state, even more than Iran.
Putin is the terrorist ordering terrorism.
Why is there no bounty on Putin?
A $100 million bounty is a strong motivator and super cheap compared to fighting against his endless terrorist wars.
SingularityMD -- the group that hit Clark County School District in Nevada -- contacted me tonight. They hit Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado.
I have more details on it and will write it up tomorrow. In the meantime, you can read the district's preliminary notice:

So I'm at MARINA for my appointment to renew my seaman's book. Security guy says they're having technical difficulties. Since morning. I thought he meant there was a #glitch in the online appointment system because he had people write their names on sheets of paper arranged by appointment times. Nope. It's the actual system that staff need to access our records. Nothing's working.
And the IT people just arrived. 🤞
