Hello World…
So the Russian government finally pulled the trigger on their invasion into Ukraine, since then we have seen information warfare erupt as the Russian dictator tries to deny any wrongdoing. But I wanted to talk about the “Cyber Army” now threatening Russian government infrastructure, not the Ukrainians in particular but the world as whole.
Anonymous probably the most well known group that have been targeting Russia, dumping credentials and PGP keys from the mil.ru domain. This domain has since been geo-fenced to Russian territory. So what’s the issue… Hackers want to stand up for Ukraine and I have an issue with it?
Not just me, but many voices have spoke out about their concerns. Any party not affiliated with a government and/or its intelligence services should leave Russian systems the fuck alone. Firstly, no matter who your target is this kind of action is strictly prohibited and criminal, it will lead to consequences for anyone carrying out malicious activity… possibly prison time. Secondly, there is a significant risk to legitimate intelligence operations when a bunch of script kiddies start trampling around a system. Imagine hiding for years only to be undone because someone comes along with a drum set…
That is all, I am trying to push my skills more as of recently so the blog may slow down as I allow time for study. A little bit of a rant but it needs to be said, that’s my position on this.
