Ex-NATO hacker: 'In the cyber world, there's no such thing as a ceasefire'
The ceasefire between Iran and Israel may prevent the two countries from firing missiles at each other, but it won’t carry any weight in cyberspace, according to former NATO hacker Candan Bolukbas.
“In the cyber world, there’s no such thing as a ceasefire,” he told The Register.
Bolukbas is chief technology officer and founder of Black Kite, a cyber-risk intelligence firm that assesses businesses’ third-party supplier risks. His company also shares and receives threat intel with and from the US National Security Agency (NSA), as do other private security firms.

If you’re online, you’re generating a constant stream of information about yourself — sometimes voluntarily, sometimes unwittingly — that is assembled and used to craft your online experience. And generate wealth for data brokers. Meanwhile, designers and managers of the digital infrastructure on which the world depends are engaged in a never-ending effort to thwart attempts, by both criminal enterprises and state actors, to exploit vulnerabilities in those systems.
