401 Access Denied

Joe Carson and Louis Zezeran explore why the ethos that drives gamers is so relevant for hackers. As they note, the culture and ideas attackers are using today often stem from the environment of retro gaming. Both groups use techniques such as reverse engineering, modifying signals, upscaling, and software emulation. Though most retro games simply want to improve their own experiences and keep playing the games they love, malicious hackers and criminal gangs are skirting restrictions and copyrights to stop sales. Joe and Louis share ideas on how gaming and hacking communities can learn from each other. Plus, their recollections of classic games will make you nostalgic for the early days of gaming and their recommendations for new games will get you reaching for the console.

The 2007 cyberattacks on Estonia culminated into a watershed moment in global cybersecurity awareness. Jaak Tarien, Director of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia, discusses the geopolitical concerns of cybercrime. Ransomware attacks can have a significant economic impact, but how are cybercrime operations also indicative of a breach of sovereignty? To best approach this question, Jaak emphasizes the importance of the CCDCOE's legal scholarship, such as the Tallinn Manual, among other efforts that foster transparent multinational cybersecurity communications, research, and training.

Check out the following resources for more information on the CCDCOE:
