> This document reframes cyberspace as a US-dominated military domain. It calls for offensive operations as a standard policy instrument. It boasts openly about destroying foreign critical infrastructure. Not only that, it also pledges to impose American “norms” on the global internet.
>
> It calls for deregulation at the very moment when any serious security expert agrees that regulation is essential for setting a baseline security bar.
>
> “Adversary” is not defined in this pamphlet, and any foreign organization may now fall easily inside the definition at any time. (akin to disabling all Microsoft infrastructures for the International Criminal Court, ICC, in 2025, or declaring Anthropic to be a “supply chain risk”).

> If the U.S. treats foreign technology as an adversarial risk, how can any government or organization trust U.S. technology any longer?
>
> This is the foundational strategic question now: how long are we willing to build our IT infrastructures on systems that another power, governed by executive orders, has declared to be part of their military arsenal?

Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker

A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.

From the story:

"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."

"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."
