The espionage reality: Your infrastructure is already in the collection path
Summary
Two distinct threat actor campaigns are converging by exploiting shared infrastructure dependencies, such as telecom routing, cloud adjacency, managed service channels, and identity federation. This convergence allows adversaries to gain long-term intelligence without directly targeting the enterprise, as they can leverage existing exploited pathways.
IFF Assessment
The article highlights a structural exposure problem where shared infrastructure dependencies are being exploited by multiple threat actors for intelligence gathering, posing a significant risk to organizations.
Defender Context
Defenders must focus on securing shared infrastructure and supply chains, as these are increasingly becoming the entry points for adversaries. Organizations need to assess their reliance on third-party services and identity providers to understand their exposure to these convergent threats.
