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.
