The hacker group Dark Caracal had successfully made their way into 30 different government agencies. And each came in through a different entry point too. And to see that this was coming, to know the bull was headed towards you, but to have no ability to stop it, has got to be one of the most terrifying feelings. The feeling of helplessness, despair, vulnerability.

Suddenly, a huge portion of the Dominican Republic government's network is now in the control of someone else? Someone you have no idea who they are, but maybe related to the Lebanese government?

Holy flip, critical infrastructures, things like power plants, water treatment facilities, dams. Disrupting or destroying these systems would absolutely bring this country to its knees.

Now, of course, Omar isn't working by himself on this when he says that he did all these things. It was obviously a team effort. And his team consisted of like seven or eight people. But then every agency in the government has their own IT department. And some, of course, are bigger than others. But everyone was working extra hours to help out.

But it just makes me wonder, you know, how robust is the Dominican Republic's cybersecurity? I mean, they may not be able to afford the most up-to-date network infrastructure, and they may be running old systems in place. They may not have the funds to employ high-quality employees to react to this.

But when you're on the internet, it means you're only one click away for every threat actor in the world. So you absolutely need to secure your government's networks just as well as the largest governments in the world. Just because you're a small island doesn't mean you get to skimp on cybersecurity. You need to be just as good as everyone else. And it feels asymmetric in so many ways.

You have to be prepared for the most sophisticated threat actors in the world. And I just wonder, how advanced was the cybersecurity of the Dominican Republic?

C2 means Command and Control Server, but I mean, what? You're telling me that some advanced adversary who may be in the Middle East is now starting to install the Conti ransomware on these systems? This is boggling because Conti has been widely attributed to be from Russia. So first of all, why are these two groups even allies or working together?

Second, holy crap, you now have two sophisticated attack teams working together to attack your entire country, national agencies, and critical infrastructure? Just when you thought you were in the thick of the storm, the storm got worse.
