    Russian hackers attack Russian hackers over Russian hackers using Russian hackers against Russian hackers.

    Why would Putin shut down his own operation?!

    I don’t watch TV myself, but people report that this attack was overestimated by journos for catchy headlines. The web player on their site is broken, and we don’t know if the claim about whiping their backups is true, but the stream of bullshit is going on on both cabel and internet platforms. Maybe, they now manage it by putting way more effort than usual, but Ostankino is still standing towering over Mordor, cursing everything in it’s long shadow. There’s a suggestion, that such a strike would first and foremost target russian speakers accross the borders, like vatniks in EU.

    State-owned news outlet Gazeta(dot)ru reported that the Ukrainian-linked hacker group “sudo rm -RF” was behind the attack.

      I’m certain someone working there typed “sudo rm -RF” into the console, deleting everything, and they blame it on a “hacker group”.

        I think it’s a funny AF name. If not for the little Bobby Tables of it all. Somewhere, some news aggregator accidentally purged everything.

          This is why you should never allow your terminal to execute news headlines directly. You’re definitely going to want to sandbox your RSS autoexecutor.

      I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom’s Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.
