Countries and APTs: Introduction
This post serves as an introduction to the series “Countries and APTs”, that focuses on the emergence and the evolution of cyber threats.
Hey, there!
In the light of recent events, and also because of personal interest in the subject, I’ve decided to start a series of posts named “Countries and APTs”. This series will focus on the emergence of cyber threat actors, APTs, and (geo)political relationships between countries in today’s world.
I’ve always been interested in politics, geography, and (surprise!) cyberspace. Cyberwarfare is now a thing, and those malicious 0s and 1s travelling across the Internet are tightly related to what’s happening in the world. This series is an attempt to discover, learn, and most importantly: try to answer the question: “how did we end up here?”. This project is a personal journey, and I learn by writing so typing on my keyboard helps me memorize and comprehend stuff.
The blog posts will be published randomly, as they require a lot of work and I do not want to force myself to write for the sake of it. I’ll try to add as many (reliable) sources as possible for each post to try to guarantee information quality, but I may write wrong things and the world is evolving fast.
Because of the current active war, I decided to focus first on Iran, as they are quite active in cyberspace. The next countries will probably be Russia, China, United States, Israel.
