Weekly Security Sprint EP 128. Telecom risk, Ransomware, Cybersecurity legislation, and physical security threats

In this special (and now maybe annual!) episode of The Gate 15 Interview, live from the floor of TribalNet 2025, Andy speaks with TribalHub’s Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, Michelle Bouschor, as they catch up and talk incident response, why non-IT leaders need to be part of the conversation, and what’s trending across the conference. Plus, Michelle throws out a fun popup question: what would Andy do if he weren’t working in tech? Listen on Spotiy, Apple or the TribalHub page at podbean!Relevant to their conversation: Tribal-ISAC Unveils Cybersecurity Report. The Tribal Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Tribal-ISAC) released its first-ever report, The Pulse – The State of Cybersecurity Within Tribal Nations, during the Annual TribalNet Conference and Tradeshow in early September. The report was produced by the Tribal-ISAC with assistance from TribalHub, and features cybersecurity insights, trends and more gathered from three key sources: Tribal-ISAC’s 2025 “Tribal Cybersecurity” Survey, TribalHub’s “How Prepared is Your Tribe for AI?” Survey, and Gate 15’s CHIEF and NATIVE Reports.More than two-thirds report zero or only one dedicated cybersecurity staff member, despite facing similar regulatory pressures as larger entities.Budget allocations remain modest, with more than 60% dedicating less than 20% of their technology budget to cybersecurity.73% of respondents anticipate increased cybersecurity spending in 2026, and 1% expect a decrease, signaling a shift toward resilience and threat mitigation.74% of organizations received no federal or state cybersecurity grants in 2025.Additional selected links:⁠TribalNet 2025⁠⁠Tribal-ISAC⁠⁠The Pulse⁠ – Tribal-ISAC’s new annual cybersecurity report!

The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials, which represented an imminent threat to the agency’s protective operations. This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.Ransomware!• EU cyber agency says airport software held to ransom by criminals • A Cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover Is Causing a Supply Chain Disaster • Rising cyberattacks on K-12 schools prompt concern as Uvalde CISD grapples with ransomwareCyber threat information law hurtles toward expiration, with poor prospects for renewal• Rand Paul's last-minute demands push key cybersecurity law to the brink• Peters Urges Senate to Quickly Extend Critical Cybersecurity Protections That Expire on October 1st• Health-ISAC CSO: A Looming Deadline: The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015• RER and Coalition Urges TRIA Reauthorization• Commentary: Shrinking cyber budgets and rising threats: Why public-private partnerships are now mission-criticalUS threats and violence• MN man threatened people via email as retaliation for Charlie Kirk's death: Charges• NH Man Arrested for Allegedly Plotting to Kill Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte With Pipe Bombs• NCTC Supports U.S. Law Enforcement, First Responders by Sharing Intel Product Aimed at Deterring Attacks by Al-Qa’ida• ISIS calls for slaughter of Christians and Jews in UK attacks – 'shoot, stab, and ram' Quick Hits:• FBI PSA: Threat Actors Spoofing the FBI IC3 Website for Possible Malicious Activity• NHC issuing advisories for the Atlantic on Hurricane Gabrielle• UK NPSA: Vehicle Security Barriers at Event Venues • TikTok: Statement from ByteDanceo Deal to Keep TikTok in U.S. Is Near.

Security professionals are rapidly confronting a new reality: artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, while excellent tools for improving productivity and business operations, are equally lowering the barriers for sophisticated attacks by a wide range of threat groups. From hostile nation-states to issue-motivated groups to cybercriminals, these technologies are enabling attacks that are more personalized, scalable, and harder to detect. The widespread availability of our personal data—from what we post on social media to the massive resale of information gathered by data brokers from both our devices and our online activity—has made open-source data the key ingredient for highly effective AI-driven deception and disruption and enabled the creation of deepfakes.Quick Hits:• NOAA - Hurricane Erin: When distant storms pose a danger to America’s coastal communities• Exclusive: US warns hidden radios may be embedded in solar-powered highway infrastructure• 'Chilling reminder': Multiple historically Black universities under lockdown after receiving threats• 1 injured while U.S. Naval Academy building was cleared after reported threat• Police Swarm UMass Boston After Unconfirmed Shooting Report Sparks Campus Chaos• USCP Clears False Bomb Threat & Police clear possible bomb threat at DNC headquarters• A shooting at Denver-area high school leaves community shaken during third week of school• Man Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Use a Weapon of Mass Destruction and Attempting to Destroy an Energy Facility in Nashville• Out of the woodwork: Examining the global aspirations of The Base• The Online Radicalization of Youth Remains a Growing Problem Worldwide• CTC - The Global State of al-Qa`ida 24 Years After 9/11 • 18 Popular Code Packages Hacked, Rigged to Steal Crypto• Hackers Exploit JavaScript Accounts in Massive Crypto Attack Reportedly Affecting 1B+ Downloads• npm Supply chain Attack: Oops, No Victims: The Largest Supply Chain Attack Stole 5 Cents• Salesloft: March GitHub repo breach led to Salesforce data theft attacks• Ransomware Losses Climb as AI Pushes Phishing to New Heights• Stopping ransomware before it starts: Lessons from Cisco Talos Incident Response

After Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed a law to strengthen the nation’s disaster response. FEMA employees say the Trump administration has reversed that progress. Employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency wrote to Congress on Monday warning that the Trump administration had reversed much of the progress made in disaster response and recovery since Hurricane Katrina pummeled the Gulf Coast two decades ago. The letter to Congress, titled the “Katrina Declaration,” rebuked President Trump’s plan to drastically scale down FEMA and shift more responsibility for disaster response — and more costs — to the states. It came days before the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest and costliest storms to ever strike the United States.Quick Hits:• 25% of security leaders replaced after ransomware attack• Gate 15: Hack Yourself First: Pen Testing for Prevention • FB-ISAO: Ransomware Incident Review January to June 2025• Dissecting PipeMagic: Inside the architecture of a modular backdoor framework• Maryland Transit Administration says cybersecurity incident is affecting some of its servicesNevada state government offices closed after network security incident• Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2024• MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing• Report: Russian Sabotage Operations In Europe Have Quadrupled Since 2023• CISA Requests Public Comment for Updated Guidance on Software Bill of Materials• Risky Bulletin: NIST releases face-morphing detection guideline• CVE-2025–41688: Bypassing Restrictions in an OT Remote Access Device• Think before you Click(Fix): Analyzing the ClickFix social engineering technique
