”Ukrainian cybercriminals"
Hot take; damaging a nation's ability to perpetrate a genocide is not a crime.
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.
Sick 🤘
I prefer the term Cyber Buccaneers .

I almost involuntarily vomited
I'm glad! Slava Ukraini, scumbag :D 🇺🇦
I genuinely can't figure our why would anyone still support imperialism in 2025 instead of freedom. Imagine vomitting because you want to be enslaved and freedom sounds unacceptable to you
Misspelled "patriots" in that headline, tankies.
Hack the planet!

This is actually pretty interesting. Russians are typically more tech savvy than you would expect. A factory full of them and this still happened.
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.
than you would expect.
The cause might be somewhere in your expectations...
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
We need to learn from it.
Similar attacks may be possible against our industry.
What is your industry?
