In this engaging episode of "Defense Against the Dark Web," host Delilah Schwartz deep-dives into the dynamic cyber threat landscape with Chinese and Russian cybersecurity expert Naomi Yusupov. They revisit their co-authored research report from early 2022 on Russian attempts to collaborate with Chinese cybercriminals, shedding light on the evolution of these cyber threats.

Explore how the Chinese government is actively incorporating independent hackers and hacktivist groups into a state-affiliated cyber force, leading to a transition from conventional dark web forums to Chinese instant messaging platforms. At the same time, the Russian cybercriminal scene is adjusting in light of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as hacktivist activities migrate to platforms such as Telegram and Twitter. This transformation is further complicated by the emergence of ransomware-as-a-service and DDoS-as-a-service offerings, contributing to the evolving cyber threat landscape.

Tune in for critical insights on the potential emergence of a cyber cold war between Russia and China, highlighting the urgency of bolstering cybersecurity defenses in this dynamic environment.
