i asked him how sophisticated the ukraine hack was. i think it s easy to overestimate this actual incident. you see it, this is an incident where a lot of different organisations were affected, the mod, the mfa, several other government organisations. their websites were defaced with these messages, but the important thing to remember is you can actually oftentimes access those websites through a single point of failure. this s probably what happened here. one system was accessed, and that allowed the attacker to essentially affect many systems at once. so these defacement are really superficial, and it didn t mean that the networks beneath these organisations were actually affected. that s interesting. so it s notjust the technology which isn t that unsophisticated. what about the things that they are trying to do
but the important thing to remember is you can actually oftentimes access those websites through a single point of failure. and that s probably what happened here. one system was accessed, and that allowed the attacker to essentially affect many systems at once. so these defacements are really superficial, and it didn t mean that the networks beneath these organisations were actually affected. even though it s not necessarily highly advanced, there does seem to be these little interesting details to the incident. for one, the attackers are sort of claiming to be polish nationalists. they made reference to, like, historic disputes between poland and ukraine, rather than disputes between ukraine and russia. there was also an interesting artefact in the picture files they used. there s a gps co ordinate associated with poland. even though this was not a photograph, which is where you generally see gps co ordinates.

i think it s easy to overestimate this, this actual incident, right? you see it, this is an incident where a lot of different organisations were affected. the mod, the mfa, several other government organisations, their websites were defaced with these messages. but the important thing to remember is you can actually often times access those websites through a single point of failure. and that s probably what happened here. one or one system was accessed, and that allowed the attacker to essentially affect many systems at once. so, these defacements are really superficial, and it didn t mean that the networks beneath these these organisations were actually affected. even though it s not necessarily highly advanced, there does seem to be these little interesting details to the incident. for one, the attackers are sort of claiming to be polish nationalists. they made reference to this, like, historic disputes
