    This cover story is also the first (early!) preview of my upcoming book, SANDWORM, on the highly dangerous Russian hackers behind NotPetya, blackouts, and a new era of scorched-earth cyberwar. If you want more, pre-order here:

    For the last year, I’ve been reporting out what it felt like to be inside a company hit by NotPetya, the unprecedented $10 billion cyberattack. The result is this WIRED cover story: how Russian malware took down Maersk, the world’s largest shipping firm.

    I anticipate developments along two lines: 1) More sophisticated malware/ops with more autonomous functionality and complex disruptive capability (like safety systems) and 2) Ops that challenge old notions of critical infrastructure with major psychological/economic effect.

    Not sure what this is based on but the "new capabilities" sound interesting (and overlooked?) - in the Senate testimony of dir CTIIC/DNI in US Senate.

    I'm far from done with this story. If you have something to tell me about NotPetya (your experience as a victim?) or the hackers known as Sandworm, get in touch: agreenberg@wired.com, Signal: +1 347-560-4260, in your Tor browser

    WIRED analyzed seven Fortnite imposter apps with researchers from Lookout...and there's a lot of sketchy crap in them!

    Princeton security researchers modeled what size of botnet of internet-connected, power-hungry home devices would be capable of causing a blackout. They found that 42,000 hacked water heaters could take down 86% of a grid serving 38 million people.

    The lack of integrity protections in police body camera data should be disturbing not only to law enforcement, but to law enforcement watchdogs. Easily one of the most troubling stories I've seen come out of Defcon this year, by

    Low-key scoop in our story: We got photos from inside the military base on 22 Komsomolsky Prospek that serves as home to Unit 26165. Fancy Bear may well be walking these halls!

    Ok, but there are already 10 firearm files on DEFCAD as we speak. See:

    : Cody Wilson backs down. After NJ takes him to court, Wilson agrees not to post any new dangerous 3D printable guns until our September hearing. Court orders him to keep his word. The fight for public safety continues.

    This 3-D printed gun story isn't about some August 1st deadline. Defense Distributed published its gun files days ago. The story is attorney generals & lawmakers across the US (even Trump!) waking up to 3-D printing and "ghost guns" as a gun control issue.

    For context: Remember that the NRA and 3-D printed gun group Defense Distributed aren't on the same side of this issue. The NRA wants to sell guns, not let people download and print them.

    I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense!

    Note to politicians: phishing a political campaign, or even successfully hacking into one, isn't cyberwarfare.
