After the recent NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, it is anticipated that Sweden will soon become the alliance’s 32nd member.

Key Points: 
  • After the recent NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, it is anticipated that Sweden will soon become the alliance’s 32nd member.
  • Its most recent addition came in April 2023, when Finland became the 31st country to join.
  • At present, NATO currently recognizes Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, and Ukraine as aspiring members.
  • But NATO isn’t the only alliance that countries across the globe are eager to join.

Origins

    • These messages ended up being a major source of intelligence throughout World War II, providing much-needed information about German troop numbers, military maneuvers and technological developments.
    • British mathematician Alan Turing is probably the most widely recognized person who worked to help crack the Enigma machine.
    • But in reality it was the collective effort of hundreds of men and women, including mathematicians, linguists and even chess champions.
    • Parallel to these developments, U.S. codebreakers were able to successfully crack diplomatic codes used by the Japanese.
    • In February 1941, an American military delegation was invited to visit the U.K. codebreaking operation, based on an estate called Bletchley Park.

Recent developments

    • Five Eyes attorneys general now regularly meet, as do finance members and defense ministers.
    • At the time, New Zealand was also hoping to conclude an upgraded free trade deal with China.
    • Since that time, New Zealand has continued to avoid taking as strong a position as the rest of the Five Eyes.
    • As a result, the U.S. has sought to circumvent New Zealand’s reluctance by formalizing other agreements without the Kiwis.
    • Both of those events undermine U.S. assurances to its allies that it can keep a secret.

Looking ahead

    • Currently, the most likely candidate is probably Japan.
    • At the end of 2016, Australia and the U.S. signed a trilateral agreement with Japan to deepen their covert security cooperation.
    • As of 2020, Japan’s minister of defense was enthusiastically in favor of joining the Five Eyes.

This comes hot on the heels of news in April of a North Korean supply chain attack on Asia-Pacific telecommunications provider 3CX.

Key Points: 
  • This comes hot on the heels of news in April of a North Korean supply chain attack on Asia-Pacific telecommunications provider 3CX.
  • Such public admissions from the Five Eyes alliance are few and far between.
  • Let’s take a look at the events leading up to Volt Typhoon – and more broadly at how this secretive transnational alliance operates.

Uncovering Volt Typhoon

    • Volt Typhoon is an “advanced persistent threat group” that has been active since at least mid-2021.
    • Australia wasn’t directly impacted by Volt Typhoon, according to official statements.
    • As for how Volt Typhoon was caught, this hasn’t been disclosed.

Living-off-the-land

    • This is when attackers rely on using the resources already contained within the exploited system, rather than bringing in external tools.
    • By using internal resources, attackers can bypass safeguards that alert organisations to unauthorised access to their networks.
    • As such, living-off-the-land allows for lateral movement within the network, and provides opportunity for a persistent, long-term attack.

Who are the Five Eyes?

    • The alliance was formed after World War II to counter the potential influence of the Soviet Union.
    • In 2019, Australia was targeted by Chinese state-backed threat actors gaining unauthorised access to Parliament House’s computer network.
    • Indeed, there is evidence that China is engaged in a concerted effort to target Australia’s public and private networks.
