Українські кіберактивісти у співпраці з військовою розвідкою успішно паралізували діяльність одного з найбільших російських виробників безпілотників — компанії "Гаскар Інтеграция". Внаслідок атаки знищено понад 47 Тб критичних даних, заблоковано внутрішні системи, а робота заводу фактично зупинена.
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.
This shouldn’t be relevant but actually yea, ax has a good point. Plenty of people don’t really understand things that aren’t part of a big brand online.
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
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
you’re literally on lemmy

they are good at hacking and spreading propaganda via troll farms, putin probably employs more of them than other countries do,.
LOL
Hey look, there’s one now. What’s worse is I don’t think putin even cuts them a check.
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.

The cause might be somewhere in your expectations…
