Reconsidering Ragnarok: The Cyber Threat Terrain After the Ukraine Invasion
summary
Prediction of a cyber “Armageddon” proves wrong because Russia loses key footholds and defenders disrupt infrastructure: there is a lost SolarWinds foothold that limits mass wiper rollout, a visible Viasat outage, and a US court-authorized Cyclops Blink seizure that neuters a Sandworm botnet. Private–public sharing and 40+ hacktivist groups reshape responses; Conti’s collapse reduces ransomware, while Google reports ~300% spike in spear‑phishing and AI threatens to turbocharge social‑engineering and BEC attacks.
