  1. Interesting WaPo has an official Reddit account – first time I notice that.

    Article still Paywalled though. Why post it if we can’t read it?

  2. This’ll be a lot more popular if you paste the article into a comment. Washington Post site is ass.

    Edit: just saw who posted this 🤣

  3. Are hard-paywalled articles allowed here? WaPo is almost always paywalled from what I’ve seen, even on one-time private sessions.

  4. NATO should be doing this too, but NATO is weak and is afraid to do anything to hold Russia accountable for all the hacking they do against NATO nations.

  5. Here’s the top 3 paragraphs, if you disable JavaScript you can get past these paywalls, if you are on iPhone go to settings > safari > advanced and scroll down to JavaScript and toggle it off, this will remove the paywall.

    Russia suffered major digital outages for a second day Tuesday after hackers targeted Russia’s court information system, taking down court websites and claiming to have wiped court documents and decisions in the system’s database.

    The hackers, who called themselves the “BO Team,” posted a message with an obscenity declaring that the attack was made to mark President Vladimir Putin’s 72nd birthday Monday, the same day a massive attack on Russia’s online state media channels occurred.

    On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the country’s state television and media company VGTRK suffered an “an unprecedented hacker attack on its digital infrastructure.”

    I’d love to see whoever is doing this take everything down and keep it offline until after the US election.

  7. They should hack the bot farms to suddenly be in favor of Harris and Ukraine… So many idiots heads would explode…
