Seriously? *Another* Cyberattack?

Right, listen up, you lot. Germany’s finally gotten around to charging some clown – a 20-year-old, naturally – for the Rosneft cyberattack back in January of last year. Apparently, they managed to disrupt supply chains by messing with IT systems. Shocking. Absolutely fucking shocking.

The attack wasn’t about stealing data, it was about *disruption*. They targeted logistics, basically gumming up the works and causing a right mess for Rosneft’s German subsidiaries. And guess what? It took ages to figure out who did it. Ages! Because everyone’s security is apparently still held together with duct tape and prayers.

The kicker? This isn’t some nation-state level operation, just a single idiot with too much time on their hands. Which means anyone could be doing this. *Anyone*. And they’re using pretty basic methods – exploiting vulnerabilities in the usual suspects like Citrix NetScaler. Honestly, it’s embarrassing.

The article keeps banging on about “critical infrastructure” needing to wake up. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. It’s been screaming at you for decades. Patch your systems, use multi-factor authentication, and stop leaving the keys under the doormat! Is that really so hard?

They’re talking about increased cooperation between Germany and other countries now. Great. More meetings. More reports. Less actual security. I’m sure *that* will fix everything.

Honestly, it’s just… infuriating. People are still running software from the Stone Age and then acting surprised when someone kicks the door in.

Speaking of basic security, I once had to deal with a sysadmin who thought “password123” was a perfectly acceptable password for the entire network. The *entire* network. I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to get hacked. Don’t even get me started on the lack of backups…
