That was the most intense war played out over cyber channels I've seen.
Telegram, Twitter, some idiot on LinkedIn. OSINT everywhere. Lots of blocked sites in Russia. Possible attacks on Google maps. A shame HN opted out. You get this sort of thing once a decade. I guess with the internet exploding it might happen again sooner.
