Which raises the question: Who (How many) is lurking there now?
Threat Actors Lurked on a Government Agency Network for 6 Months Before Deploying LockBit Ransomware
Attackers breached the network of a regional U.S. government agency and lurked in the network for six months before deploying LockBit ransomware, Sophos researchers found.

The FBI is breaking into corporate computers to remove malicious code – smart cyber defense or government overreach?
Via LLRX – The FBI is breaking into corporate computers to remove malicious code – smart cyber defense or government overreach? – Cybersecurity scholar Scott J. Shackelford discusses how the FBI has the authority right now to access privately owned computers without their owners’ knowledge or consent, and to delete software. It’s part of a government effort to contain the continuing attacks on corporate networks running Microsoft Exchange software, and it’s an unprecedented intrusion that’s raising legal questions about just how far the government can go.

A boom in Earth observation satellites creating new demands for intelligence
Elon Musk earlier this month opened a new Tesla assembly plant in Austin, Texas, and predicted it will produce as many as 500,000 vehicles annually by next year.
To keep a closer eye on activities at the plant, investors and financial firms are turning to Earth observation companies like BlackSky that use satellites to monitor locations for customers.
“We have a lot of interest in monitoring the Tesla facility that just launched,” said Amy Minnick, chief commercial officer at BlackSky.
Just by monitoring the Tesla factory’s parking lot and surrounding traffic, insights can be drawn on car production, she said. Electric vehicle market analysts and car companies, for example, will be trying to estimate how many cars are actually being made and will look at, for example, what suppliers are delivering parts and how often.
BlackSky’s constellation of 14 satellites can image the same location 15 times a day. The company uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze images and combine the pictures with third-party data sources such as radar and radio-frequency imagery.
