Seems to me, Sandworm is bigger and badder than ever … but other groups might be at work too

Hello folks,

I recently just read an article that was sent to TSB’s list that delbt with one of Ukraine’s telecom services that provide internet and mobile to the country.

If this is true, Sandworm may be hiring other groups to do very destructive things like take out the entire mobile network of a company.

As reported by Ars, whoever did this started with one employee account and dug their heals in to the network to see what type of damage they can do.

I don’t know if there is anything else on this, but the article states that the company involved was still working on restoring things and that services were down.

The article is titled Ukrainian cellular and Internet still out, 1 day after suspected Russian cyberattack and you can read it for what its worth.

I don’t necessarily want to pick sides, but this war is probably not going to end well for Ukraine, and we also know that Russia could power with other agents like North Korea and others to assist if they must.

If Sandworm did hire other groups to do something like this, it won’t be long.

If this is what is to come, I’m not looking forward in the coming year’s discussion that TSB will be having on our first podcast of 2024.

I would urge people to read this one if this means that it could happen to us in some capacity.

Thoughts are welcome. There is no wrong answer, as we really don’t know.

Thanks Michael for bringing this to TSB as you always do. Stay well!
