WW3 -All Russia / Ukraine stuff here please-

[GreiginFife]

Major DDoS attacks being launched globally against the Kremlin and two of Russia's biggest banks. I think this will be a continued trend in retaliation for Russia's cyber attacks on Ukraine that goes back to late last year.

A lot of this fight is going to be hidden from view methinks.

In the first video, the zig zag area (beneath the car) is actually the roof of a building, much closer to the camera than the car. Initially I thought it was right next to the car, but on closer inspection it looks like a building roof.

Aah.

All sorts of cyber attacks have been going on for years - and the 1st priority of them is to be 'under the radar'.

Should I pay the final balance for our planned Kefalonia trip in June?

Yes, I realise this. But these are not "under the radar" in fact, furthest from it.

Probably needed to use a pair of bolt croppers !

One problem I see is that many European Countries rely greatly on Russian Oil and Gas, if there are no financial transactions available to Russia why would they continue to supply it without payment.

The West and Europe need to grow a pair. If going short of oil and gas helps towards bringing down a regime who's next move will be Moldova and then who knows then so be it. Put a jumper on and suck it up.

I believe UEFA have announced that all Ukranian and Russian teams (clubs and national teams) must play at neutral venues instead of in their own country.

Shows the moral compass has finally gone in football. All Russian teams need kicking out and if China allows them to compete in the Para Olympics then the rest of the world should boycott the games.

I believe it's the IPC not China to make the decision. China aren't going to bar them.

I wonder what the repercussions will be for breaking the Olympic truce?

Russia kicked out of Eurovision, that'll show em ?

Think that alone could bring Putin to his senses and retreat so that they can be reinstated.

If not does it imply that The UK cannot be last as Russia fwere an original contestant?

Can’t we threaten to send them Katie Price and Gemma Collins if they don’t withdraw

It could be a darn site more than putting on a jumper if their oil and gas supplies are cut off.

A good advisory for when dealing with imagery and information via Social Media platforms - never more than since the mass adoption of Social Media has the phrase "seeing is believing" been so redundant.

The same advice regarding Nation State cyber activity was also played back to me and my colleagues in Cybersecurity for one of the world's biggest banks by our cyber analysts.

Try to verify what you are seeing before blindly re-posting it.

Nobody said it was going to be easy. As our parents and grandparents managed 10 years if shortages to defeat a despot perhaps we should learn from them.

Completely different world. Can't even compare how much it would crusify the economy etc.

Covid would be small fry compared.

So we just let Russia and in the future China do as they wish.

Because it’s that binary of a decision ??‍
