Russia Says 'Unprecedented' Cyberattack Hits Foreign Ministry Amid BICS Summit (reuters.com) 34
The Russian Foreign Ministry says it had been targeted by a large-scale distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS). "A massive cyberattack from abroad began this morning on the infrastructure of the official website, the Russian Foreign Ministry's portal," said spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. She noted that the ministry regularly encounters similar attacks, but today's attack was "unprecedented in scale." Reuters notes that the attack coincided with the major BRICS summit taking place in the country.

A fella I used to work with over a decade ago in some unspecified corner of the defense industry was not a fan of the Israelis playing hardball with Iranian nuclear program personnel. Not because he was a Jew hater or an Islamist sympathyzer but because he wasn't keen on having it become the rule that guys in their position (that is, his position) now had targets on their backs.
If we don't like it when our government or infrastructure gets hacked by foreign actors, best not to overtly do it to the other guys? Maybe there's something to the idea that you've always got to give your enemy an offramp to at least save face unless you plan on eliminating him entirely.

You'd think so, but there he is. Clearly there's a psychological dimension you're not considering. Possibly because you're a dyed in the wool westerner who cannot conceive of a world leader of a nominally advanced country placing Tribe and Land front and center in his thinking. So instead of trying to get into his head so as to understand the problem, you chalk up his motivation to generic evil and then pretend you can deal with him on your terms alone, rather than his, and get results.

Of course we understand that. The muscovite midget is trying to recreate the Soviet Union, believing he is entitled to everything which it previously ruled. The problem is, what he considers Tribe and Land is a farce. He keeps referring to Ukrainians as his "brothers", yet everyday he's killing those very "brothers" (and sisters. Not to mention raping those sisters). If he is so concerned about his "bro
