China Systematically Hijacks Internet Traffic: Researchers – Worldwide
Researchers have mapped out a series of internet traffic hijacks and redirections that they say are part of large espionage and intellectual property theft effort by China. The researchers, Chris Demchak of the United States Naval War College and Yuval Shavitt of the Tel Aviv University in Israel, say in their paper that state-owned China Telecom hijacked and diverted internet traffic going to or passing through the US and Canada to China on a regular basis. Tel Aviv University researchers built a route tracing system that monitors BGP announcements and which picks up on patterns suggesting accidental or deliberate hijacks and discovered multiple attacks by China Telecom over the past few years. In 2016, China Telecom diverted traffic between Canada and Korean government networks to its PoP in Toronto. From there, traffic was forwarded to the China Telecom PoP on the US West Coast and sent to China, and finally delivered to Korea. Normally, the traffic would take a shorter route, going between Canada, the US and directly to Korea.

Defense Digital Service, Army Open New Cyber Training Center – Georgia, United States
The Army’s cyber training center at Fort Gordon, Georgia, is getting a new collaboration space intended to bring together the branch’s top tech talent, Defense Department innovators and the private-sector technologists to solve the biggest issue in cybersecurity: the workforce. Members of the Army’s cyber brigade—dubbed ARCYBER—and leaders from the Defense Digital Service were in Augusta Thursday to announce the opening of a new workspace “designed to house tech teams, cultivate talent, and promote innovative ways to solve mission challenges,” according to a department release. Following the DDS’ clear affection for the Star Wars films, the space is being called “Tatooine,” a reference to the desert planet that was the adoptive home of Luke Skywalker. “Tatooine will be a beacon for technical talent across the military—a place to write code and solve problems of impact,” DDS Director Chris Lynch said at the unveiling event Thursday.

NATO’s Biggest Military Exercise In Years Just Started
Trident Juncture officially started Thursday, with some 50,000 troops from all 29 NATO members and Sweden and Finland preparing for drills on land, sea, and in the air from the Baltic Sea to Iceland. As a NATO Article 5 exercise, Trident Juncture “will simulate NATO’s collective response to an armed attack against one ally,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier this month. “And it will exercise our ability to reinforce our troops from Europe and across the Atlantic.” NATO has increased deployments and readiness in Europe since Russia’s 2014 incursion in Ukraine, as countries there have grown wary of their larger neighbor. Stoltenberg has said the exercise will be “fictitious but realistic.” But Russia has still taken exception. “NATO’s military activities near our borders have reached the highest level since the Cold War,” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Wednesday, adding that the exercise will be “simulating offensive military action.”
