Russian Hackers Up to Their Usual Sneaky Crap Again

Oh bloody fantastic, guess who’s back on their bullshit again? Yep, those *cheery* Russian cyber miscreants, skulking around Ukraine’s digital backyard like drunk raccoons in a dumpster. The article bangs on about how these delightful bastards are targeting Ukrainian orgs (again) using so-called “living-off-the-land” tactics. Translation: they’re repurposing legit Windows tools—PowerShell, WMI, and all that boring admin nonsense—to slip in unnoticed, because getting caught would apparently ruin their little espionage party.

This time, it’s the “APT29” or “Midnight Blizzard” or “the usual Kremlin-approved assholes,” depending on which day of the week it is. They’re sneaking in, planting backdoors, and using regular system commands like good little ghosts so no one notices until the whole network is weeping digital blood. Classic supply-chain and phishing tricks too, because apparently creativity is dead and these cyber goons couldn’t innovate a new attack to save their vodka-stained souls.

The report screams: be vigilant, patch your crap, tighten your defenses—because clearly, Ukraine hasn’t got enough to worry about already. The article ends with the same moral every infosec briefing ever had: “Stop trusting that dodgy email attachment, you idiots.”

If only humans patched systems as fast as they write panicked blog posts about them, the world would be a slightly less flaming pile of cyber dung.

Reminds me of the time a user called me screaming that their files “vanished.” Turns out they’d stored everything on their desktop and deleted it “to clean up.” I restored the backup, billed them in broken dreams, and called it a productive day.
