What if an attacker just compromised Orion with an exploit like a normal attacker? Or pivoted into its memory space from elsewhere?
What's the difference?
The SolarWinds hack is a fundamental challenge, but I went into work yesterday focused on the same basics.
This may be a game-changer for policy and industry, but the essentials are what make the difference here. It revalidates basic visibility and monitoring. Same as before.

That doesn't mean it's not incredibly serious. But we're failing way worse than this every single day.
Like, we should be screaming about this. They know this shit works against them.
The fact they hit FireEye seems like a massive mistake since they have internal custom tooling.

[THREAD] On the recent ISIS Sinai video.
This is done with help from @war_noir, go follow.
As the ISIS insurgency in the Sinai continues, this video shows a very interesting mix of SALW, with some usual suspects appearing, but also more interesting things...
1/
First, the most prominent feature of the video is (as always), large IEDs blowing up army vehicles, with varied effectiveness. This has been a constant for years by now.
IS Sinai retain substantial IED expertise, with these...
2/
Also being laid in an anti personnel manner. Multiple targets are seen hit. Conventional close-range attacks are seen also.
3/
Now, let's turn to small arms. As usual, we see a mix of typical AKs, FALs, etc.
These include Type 56-1 and 2, FN FAL 50.00, FAL Para, AKM variants, and the ever present Libyan AK-103-2 (See thread here). We also see AMD-65.

When it comes to heavier weapons, the commonly seen DShK/M and Type 54 are seen. These are common.
It is notable that IS Sinai have the operational freedom to use these on Technicals, despite the presence of the Egyptian Air Force. Oh, and 81/2mm mortar (Helwan M-69?)

[Large Thread] We've heard a lot about arms transfers from Gaddafi's stocks around the world, but often news articles are vague as to detail.

So, one weapon that you would have seen me tweet about a lot is the AK-103-2. This is essentially a 7.62x39mm version of the AK-74M.
