#4: Russia's latest hacks The Kremlin's cyber-pals have performed some fancy attacks over the last few weeks

Over the past year or so, I've been branching out into cybersecurity - slowly beginning to work as a freelance consultant and pen tester. And I've started a newsletter. It's helping me explore the depth and breath of the field.
