In this episode of the Cyber Resilience Brief, hosts Tova Dvorin and Adrian discuss the “proxy bridge” connecting Western cybercriminals to the FSB: the BlackCat ALPHV ransomware platform.
Listen to learn:
- What the “high confidence indirect nexus” is and why BlackCat is the operational link between Scattered Spider and Russian intelligence
- The three ways the FSB uses BlackCat—without ever getting their hands dirty
- Why the ultimate geopolitical shield attacks look like crime but function like espionage
- What the “convergence model” means for Western defenders and why Russian APTs can’t replicate it alone
- How $115 million in extortion creates a self-funding, deniable intelligence stream that shows no signs of stopping
From the Colonial Pipeline to MI6’s first-ever press conference, the stakes have never been higher—and the threat has never been harder to attribute.
