Interesting links on hacking in the large

Greetings,

I am interested in looking at the progression of hacking strategies over 
the last ten years or so. However hackers typically don't talk and sadly 
my circle of friends do not extend to those leading the hacking trends, 
that is, well resourced criminal groups and nation states.

Hackers do however read. I'm interested in what you have found that 
already exists in the public domain. Stuff where you have gone "ohhh, 
interesting..." or "that's novel" or "I can't talk about it, but I have 
seen this...". I am anticipating links to publicly available news 
articles, government reports, conference presentations, YouTube videos 
or what-have-you.

The goal is an academic paper examining these trends that hopefully will 
present interesting insights.

I am a researcher at Victoria in Wellington under Professor Ian Welch 
whom runs our Cyber Security undergraduate degree and postgraduate 
research. I have an ME in Software Engineering with a Network Security 
slant and am currently working towards a PhD in the same field with an 
applied science focus. I like to think I am making stuff that is 
actually useful.

I am very happy to chat if you are interested and will respect the need 
to discuss clients and employers in the abstract. Coffee is on me.

But, my main interest here is interesting links Please email me direct!

Cheers
