In the summer of 2017, a software update for a popular Ukrainian accounting software pushed malware onto systems of companies doing business in Ukraine. The attack stopped life in Ukraine and crippled the Western logistics supply chain, hitting shipping giant Maersk, postal company FedEx, and the Port of Rotterdam.

The narrative that took shape showed a devastating failure of the US government, and turned public attention away from who was accountable for the attack.
As a researcher who has extensively studied cyber operations and influence effects, I was gripped by how NotPetya appeared engineered to deflect attention away from who authored the attacks.

NotPetya ushered in a new era of implant-enabled warfare where public opinion is as much the target as traditional IT systems.
This is information operations by using malware to create a narrative, and shows what the future of conflict looks like: one where malware not only disrupts our business operations but also targets our minds and influences media coverage.
