”Ukrainian cybercriminals"
Hot take; damaging a nation’s ability to perpetrate a genocide is not a crime.
LOL ‘genocide’
Cold take
Most of the mentioning in the article uses “hacktivists” though.
And cybercriminals might refer to separate blackhat hackers too.
The attack destroyed over 47 TB of critical data, blocked internal systems, and effectively halted the plant’s operations.
We need to learn from it.
Similar attacks may be possible against our industry.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
I almost involuntarily vomited
You should go see a doctor then.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Then go Russia where you wont have to read that. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
I prefer the term Cyber Buccaneers .
now that’s a victory
This is actually pretty interesting. Russians are typically more tech savvy than you would expect. A factory full of them and this still happened.

Well, as someone living in Russia, I don’t really feel this so much
There are Russians who are more tech savvy than you would expect, but in average they’re just like the rest.
One would expect that in Russia, like everywhere, the kind of people hired to manage the IT infrastructure in most companies are not the “hacker elite” (unless the company gets one purely by luck)
The only shocking thing here is that a military manufacturer - which one would expect to try a bit harder to find the kind of systems manager that can harden their internal systems - seems to have not properly hardenned/segregated their systems.
Then again, maybe they’re not totally incompetent and do have their mission critical stuff air-gapped and the damage done by the Ukranian hackers is less impactful than the headline implies. From the outside it’s hard to tell.
