They also discuss the spyware app that helped to dismantle the Syrian regime, at least maybe a little bit, and how Russian military intelligence’s sabotage and assasination unit got into cyber operations.

Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about Russian DanaBot malware developers making a tailored variant of their malware specifically for espionage. This fills in some of the blanks on the exact relationship between Russian criminals and the country’s intelligence services.

They also discuss a US Director of National Intelligence initiative to centralise the purchase of commercially acquired information. Although this information can be used maliciously, having a one-stop-shop should make it easier to check that it is being used responsibly.
