Re: Source of attacks
In the case of the DNC attack the evidence is very clear that the work was done by Russian speaking agents using Russian systems for C&C. This is not in dispute dispite what the author implies.

 

The theory that AV companies write all the best viruses is as old as AV software and has been demonstrated false any time it has been investigated.

Reconnaissance, infiltration, exploitation, exfiltration: the 4 phases of a data breach
While the reconnaissance phase can take months even years, the exfiltration will take days.  So i agree strongly UBA is critical to flag anything abnormal.  Identity governance is another critical tool to mitigate data breach, especially from insiders , of whom government agencies have seen their share.

UBA
"user behavioral analytics (UBA)"

I agree, this may be a good starting point, at the end of the day everything starts with the user behavior.

security fundamentals
" old security fundamentals aren't effective"

This is a good point, industry has change, there is no more firewall to sell because everybody has it, they needs to sell something new.

passwords
"I will password-spray your Web interfaces,"

I see the points in the article, however I think making password compels is not a solution, they are not really cracking the passwords, that is too much unnecessary work, they are getting it from the users.

AV vs. DDOD or social engineering
Agree with the article, AV is an outdated strategy, nobody spends time to write a virus, there is more exciting ways of doing impact such as DDOD and social engineering.

Re: %
"I wanted to see what would happen."

I see their reasoning. There should be second level protection. I should be able to click the link and still be protected.

Source of attacks
Now that security attacks created a new industry I suspect that lots of security firms are behind of lots of those attacks to sell their products. I do not have a proof for it, it is just my guess.

Re: %
"Do not click on this link" -- and found that 10% of the recipients STILL clicked the link. "

I wonder, the reason they would click because of the question in their mind: "why would I get a link not to click?"

Re: Faster and easier
"Well, sure, that's phishing too ..."

True, just tricking users to do something that they are not normally do. Clever.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
