The de facto excuse to use when you get hacked these days. Who could possibly defend against an entire nation? And it's incredibly easy to "prove" that some Russian IP accessed your system at some point, therefore Putin is directly involved and no amount of security would've prevented him from getting in.

- rawnlq 10y agoSidetracked: Can someone explain to me why there seem to be a culture of blackhat hacking from Russia? Do their CS degrees have mandatory advanced courses on how to exploit vulnerabilities for lulz? Not really even saying this in a mean way. Almost all top CS programs in the US have assignments on writing buffer overflow attacks and reverse engineering in their mandatory intro to systems course. But I don't seem to see them going off on their own to learn more sophisticated attacks and acutally using it in the real world. Why does russia seem to foster so many blackhats? Or is it just the proxies that are hosted there?
