But hybrid digital warfare is not limited to propaganda – it also includes cyber-attacks, hacking and stealing intellectual property, and worse case scenarios such as taking down infrastructure and utilities. ---------- Andrew Hural is a Cybersecurity Veteran, Incident Response Expert, and Director at UnderDefense.
