I am deeply saddened to report the passing of Brandon Valeriano (@drbvaler.bsky.social). Brandon was a trailblazer in evidence-based cybersecurity in International Relations. I will miss his insight, intellectual curiosity, friendship and dinner invites. RIP, brother.

Our new commentary in @bindinghook.bsky.social explores why ransomware has (in our view) largely been ignored by scholars of cyber conflict and offensive cyber operations. 1/

The Forgotten War: Ransomware and Cyber Conflict Studies
Scholars of cyber conflict have largely ignored the rise of ransomware as a national security threat. Counter-ransomware strategies would benefit from further interrogation from this community

Reports citing anonymous intel officials have suggested Western authorities assess the recent spate of cable breakages in the Baltic Sea to be accidents rather than acts of sabotage, but some onlookers are arguing the nature of the incidents & their repeat occurrence indicate a pattern of behavior.
