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.
Why would Putin shut down his own operation?!
Ahhhhh, “mega hack” doesn’t refer to Putin, oops 🤷
“Mega hack” is a thing now?
I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom’s Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.
It’s shorter than Super Cyber Sabotage
“Ultra-Mega-Super-Gyro-Hack-3000 v: 2.3.6”
State-owned news outlet Gazeta.ru reported that the Ukrainian-linked hacker group “sudo rm -RF” was behind the attack.
