I am impressed they got the train network back up and running so quickly. They might be using XP but it sounds like they are doing something right.

I was trying to explain to my friend the other day how cyber attacks were happening during this whole Russian and Ukraine situation. Thanks for the video Seytonic.

Adding a little bit of context to the Andorran issue.

The Andorran streamers were originally Spanish streamers that moved to Andorra to have lower taxes. This have caused quite a lot of hate, as most people seems it like a tax evasion strategy, an it kinda is, cuz most of the only stay in Andorra long enough to preserve the residency. So, the hack was probably done out of spite.

Also Google did quite the literal translation with that twit, a more natural translation will be something like "The Andorran Internet connection being disrupted by a hacker is already annoying by itself, but it happening while I'm taking a shit and playing Clash Royale, that a big no"

The favicon "hack" is fascinating... I'm sure it's not new, but it's new to me :)

The ddos most likely wasn't a troll but an attack against the streamers, that's because most Andorran streamers are Spanish streamers/YouTubers that moved there because of high tax rates for entrepreneurs (I think that it's between 50 and 75 % of their revenue in Spain) and many are hated because of it since all the tax money goes to Andorra instead of Spain

Edit: I probably overestimated the tax but. It's about half their revenue

Fave icons have been known to be dangerous for a while now. But I think this took it to another level. Great reporting!

In germany you always have bad internet, even when paying 50€ a month for this shit

Governments need to learn about how XP lost support in 2014

[morsine]

How amazing. Iran's railways still run on windows xp as well

[TG]

It's funny how so many hacks are caused by old non-updated software.

Thank God for hackers to stop the onslaught of Russia keep up the good work

[GusCraft]

I don’t think the people buying segways could ever be described as “poor”.

[resevoirdog]

Shoutout to those Belarusians ! Fighting for democracy

[Stoney_Eagle]

Are blackhat hackers that try to prevent a war stil blackhats?

[Derpuwolf]

Fun fact, the google translation on Twitter didn’t need much work. It was surprisingly accurate.

However, I myself, a native Spanish speaker, could not decipher what he says cuz the dialect is different than mine.

Cracked VMware, sounds like the Log4j exploit as it does effect VMware and since not authentic no updates to patch this.

I strongly feel they never patched the network, and that was probably the cause of the access.

4:34 I'm a spanish speaker and I can tell you for sure google traslator is spot on!

“That the hacker throws the connection in Andorra
touches my balls, but that it's just when I'm throwing a
clash royale while shitting, that's really not”

Genuinely laughed at this nonsense

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
