Democracies are losing the strategic contest over perception because they treat  cyber, sabotage, and influence as separate responsibilities. Their adversaries are  merging these once discrete attack vectors; if policymakers want to blunt that  advantage, they must begin by understanding the methods and goals of the actors  behind them. One formation in particular—GRU Unit 29155—has been repeatedly  implicated in this emerging form of hyper warfare. When disruption is synchronized  across domains, the real target is the decision, not the device.
