Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

From Bloomberg.com:

Quote:
More than 400,000 people have volunteered to help a crowdsourced Ukrainian government effort that is using digital means to disrupt Russian government and military targets, according to a Ukrainian cybersecurity official.

Victor Zhora, deputy chief of Ukraine’s information protection service, said in a briefing Friday that the country was engaged in a “cyber resistance” against Russia that was aimed at making the country weaker. The update comes after Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation called on international computer specialists to attack Russian web infrastructure.
So has hacking effectively been legalised (as long as it's against Russia)? Sounds fair enough to me considering some of the nasty things that they've done.

Exactly. If he succeeded in gaining back former Russian countries, I think it's inevitable that the invading will continue.

It gets me so mad when people have said to me that it's not our problem and we should keep out of it. Even our Government with it's Russian 'donations' realises this.

Re: Claim that Russia is to disconnect itself from the internet. I've been given this information:

'Just search ‘Russia Internet Disconnect’ on Twitter. However the information minister denied it today (which probably means it will happen!).

Russia has been planning RuNet for some time.'
