4) You're only looking at American propaganda.
- bee_rider 5y agoNah, most of the stories are about ransomware type schemes from Russian criminal gangs. I'm sure both of our intelligence agencies get up to no good, and US news sources are less likely to cover US intelligence agencies, but they have no real reason to cover for petty hacking criminals.
- lmm 5y agoThere are obvious incentives to present Russia as a lawless criminal wasteland and the US as a good global citizen.
- giaour 5y agoI don't think they're obvious, and this comment strikes me as baseless innuendo. What precisely are the incentives for multinational corporations to censor news about American cyber malfeasance, especially given how acute and prolonged a regulatory headache unchecked American surveillance created for them in Europe?
- perryizgr8 5y ago> most of the stories are about ransomware type schemes And where are these news stories coming from?
- rank0 5y agoare you living under a rock? Do you remember the recent oil pipeline and meat packing facilities that got ransomwared? Ton's of government sites and corporations get hacked. It's way more than what's publicly available too. Most of the time entities just pay up and keep it secret. Lots of the attacks come from russia. They pump out a shit load of malware.
