Raise Ya False Flags: A history about pirates and APTs
The intricate game of false flags and disinformation is almost as old as society itself One might argue that information is the most valuable commodity one can possess. During periods of conflict, knowing exactly who the attacker is, along with their motives and tactics could decide the final outcome. Surely enough, we can find countless instances throughout history, where countries decided to retaliate to attacks, based only on data acquired in the field
The proliferation of open source red team tools has made it easier for actors to “blend-in” without leaving a “specific” signature in their target networks. Part of Infowar tactics, false flags campaigns nowadays are actively used in order to shift attribution to a different threat actor.
In our talk, we will be taking a peek into most interesting “old-school” false flags campaigns. We will then add cyber weapons into the mix and debate the intricacies and consequences of launching attacks mimicking other actor’s TTPs, as this sometimes might result in deadly consequences.
