But take a look at this year\u2019s top headlines from Fifth Domain and the phrase proves itself true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New leaders took over some of the most important cyber operations offices, both at U.S. Cyber Command and the Air Force. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense relied on a teenager to find a potentially devastating vulnerability in its sole file-sharing system. The Air Force had to form teams to combat malware on fighter jets after discovering a strain on an F-16 and civilians are now working alongside Army cyber operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After an engaging 2019, continue to read Fifth Domain to see how these stories evolve in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>1. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/army\/2019\/08\/29\/how-one-teenager-took-out-a-secure-pentagon-file-sharing-site\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>How one teenager took out a secure Pentagon file-sharing site<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2018, a secure Pentagon file-sharing site was taken offline for four months with minimal explanation. Turns out, a teenager had alerted a DoD vulnerability disclosure program that there was a \u201ccritical\u201d vulnerability in the file-sharing platform that would\u2019ve allowed an attacker to roam freely through the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>2.<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/02\/08\/the-air-forces-reorganized-cyber-office-gets-a-new-leader\/\" target=_blank><b> Here\u2019s the leader of new combined intel and cyber office<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force\u2019s reorganization of its intelligence and IT offices led to a new deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and cyber effects operations. Lt. Gen. VeraLinn \u201cDash\u201d Jamieson was nominated in February and, in addition to ISR, leads offensive cyber, defensive cyber and tactical communications work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>3. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/air-force\/2019\/04\/17\/when-malware-hits-an-f-16-call-these-new-air-force-cyber-teams\/\" target=_blank><b>When malware hits an F-16, call these new Air Force cyber teams<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in April, an Air Force official said that the service discovered malware on an F-16\u2032s memory loader verifier, prompting internal discussions about building up cyberdefense teams teams to protect critical weapons systems. Through 2019, the Air Force was working to establish what it called \u201cmission defense teams&#8221; to defend avionics in a fighter jet from malicious code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>4. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/cybercom\/2019\/06\/19\/one-of-the-militarys-top-cyber-groups-will-get-a-new-leader\/\" target=_blank><b>One of the military\u2019s top cyber groups will get a new leader<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mid-June, the team known to have the best operators inside Cyber Command got a new leader, Brig. Gen. William Hartman. The Army one-star was named head of CyberCom\u2019s Cyber National Mission Force, which works to defend against cyber intrusions from nation-state adversaries, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/11\/11\/two-years-in-how-has-a-new-strategy-changed-cyber-operations\/\" target=_blank>part of CyberCom\u2019s \u201cpersistent engagement\u201d strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>5. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/show-reporter\/technet-augusta\/2019\/08\/26\/a-new-civilian-cyber-warfare-position-for-the-army\/\" target=_blank><b>A new civilian cyber warfare position for the Army<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army created a new civilian cyber position to beef up its cyberspace effects capabilities and corresponding workforce. Lt. Gen. Stephen Fogarty, head of Army Cyber Command, said at the time that the new position was \u201creally a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What this allows us to do,
