than you would expect.

The cause might be somewhere in your expectations...

considered russia has done the same in various forms on different countries.

they are good at hacking and spreading propaganda via troll farms, putin probably employs more of them than other countries do,.

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.

Misspelled "patriots" in that headline, tankies.

LOL the bootlickers selling out their resources to the US while dying for no reason are patriots?
And 'tankies'?
Are the Russians still the evil commie Soviets that whipped your dead grandpa's Banderite SS Galicias ass?
And it's an ukro site dummy, they're not smart

LOL Genocide.
They are doinf everythinf to prevent civilian casualties and data proves it.
OC when those ukros put their fascist mercenaries and schools as they often do they endenfger their own.
Anyway IDC, fuck ex-ukranus

LOL 'genocide'

now that's a victory

I almost involuntarily vomited

Cold take

Russians are typically more tech savvy than you would expect.

Well, as someone living in Russia, I don't really feel this so much

it depends if the one that's tech savvy enough to prevent that it's paid enough for his job, or if the money allocated for that went to fund the yacht holidays of some general

Then go Russia where you wont have to read that. Slava Ukraini!

Most of the mentioning in the article uses "hacktivists" though.

And cybercriminals might refer to separate blackhat hackers too.

You should go see a doctor then.

Slava Ukraini!

Their need to be more tech savvy is to avoid paying high taxes on electronics, so they have to cobble together working machines from spare parts.

They are good at getting things working, but they are not good at getting them working well.

you're literally on lemmy

Hack the planet!
