Ukrainian Hackers Attack a Russian ISP

In this video I discuss the latest attack in the Russia Ukraine cyber war where the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance have attacked Nodex in Saint Petersberg, disrupting internet service for days, compromising the backups, and taking their websites offline for almost a week.

Organizations in America are moving to extreme security measures. I've worked with multiple using these similar protocols: 1 Organizations provide employees dedicated notebook; employee has zero admin access to notebook and uses vpn + password + 2fa + Rsa id to logon 2:) employee uses recorded VDI session to access speciicc company resources; logon with passwword + 2fa + rsa ID; 3) employee logs on to Organization resources with 24-hour password issued by company, +2fa + rsa id. 3) If notebook is not usedd for 24 hours, it is locked and employee must call service desk to unock. If notebook isn' for more than 2 days without notification to Organization, encryptedd notebook (not with Bitlocker but 3rd party encryption), gets wiped. Company swaps notebooks with employee to get employee running again.

They're aiming for zero data breaches or infiltration.

Anekdote: At first, users of the hacked ISP didn't notice that their ISP was hacked, cuz they thought that the government decided to ban the internet

An astonishingly big number of companies in Russia are using Windows actually. And a concerningly big percentage of them run absolutely ancient versions.

Linux tech support is just google searching for random commands to paste into the CMD Line as Sudo. 😂

Decentralised internet should be the most important thing we focus on.

Lmao, here in Ukraine i constantly seeing win 2012 server in small/mid private companies, it's probably the most common thing, but i never thought somebody can use it in serious enterprises like big ISP.

I will miss my 1.4TB meme collection if I lose them, but I don't think 3-2-1 backup is entirely necessary for me.

How will this affect pregnant black women in the US?

Wow, I have had at least one physical backup of my data unhooked to any device, in a faraday bag, in a padded box since I started collecting data in like 2000. Was pretty young too. I have even been backing really important(if only to me) stuff up onto BluRay M-Discs too. It worries me that I often fond myself mumbling, "when in the ___ did I[of all people] become the responsible one?!", to myself. It is shocking! Im supoded to be the flakey F up!

With Stuxnet, I wondered if Iran was sufficiently paranoid, if Stuxnet wasn't more like a gift. Russian ISPs running Windows seems like a gigantic honeypot to gather data on how to hack Windows

We setup air gapped, immutable backups for some of our smarter clients. Works very well to protect against ransomware attacks.

[TheVoltarus]

off topic, but is there any reason you stopped uploading on Odysee?

[AleksLazar]

Yeah I agree about running things on Windows servers. I think Windows admins drink more, gray sooner and overall have worse health outcomes than people who do not administer Windows servers.

Russian here: got no idea what NODEX is. Best case scenario - it's some local provider who doesn't even rent infrastructure from a big one. Also encountered no news from "customers who lost the internet" on social media.

Положили болт на безопасность: получите, распишитесь

[maximood-tired]

With everything considering this war: most stuff is propaganda, especially when posted on telegram. In this case, it isn't as big of a deal as they made it look, almost noone got affected by that afaik. Otherwise they wouldnt publish it instantly but use it in silence

[brucewilliams]

Thanks for all you do in keeping us up to date. A video on setting up 2 factor authentication would be helpful.

[Snegvik]

И правильно - естественный отбор. Может хоть после нескольких подобных инцедентов перестанут класть болт на безопасность
