@tomatospy @thegrugq 'why do cyber attacks have to be mean?'
It's as if The Grugq had his own Ueshiba epiphany. According to the stories, that's how he gave up fighting and created Aikido.
Interesting premise and great discussion btw
[Chinese] APTs Behaving Badly
"We'd describe 'acceptable behaviour' as being targeted at national security rather than economic interests, carrying out proportionate operations and avoiding unnecessary harm to third parties. Many cyber actors, including the US and allies, generally adhere to these behaviours, but others, including Chinese actors, do not."
[...]
"Mass deployment of malware is unacceptable because it causes unnecessary collateral damage — not the done thing for a responsible state program. To make matters worse, once Sophos had cottoned on to the intrusions, Guan and his colleagues allegedly altered their malware to make it more damaging, in a kind of scorched earth policy. If victims attempted to remove the malware, it would deploy encryption from the Ragnarok ransomware variant. We have no idea why attackers would do this or what benefit they would get from torching their victims’ infrastructure.."
