I would be pretty confident the hackers who carried it out don't parse it this finely, they are just happy it was so easy.

- jacquesm 3y agoDestruction is so much easier than creation. In a normal society there are ample opportunities for easy and cheap destruction. Given a handful of motivated and smart people and within an hour or two and $500 in budget you can significantly harm any open society. But that doesn't mean that you are smart, it just means that as an attacker you have it easy. Electrical infrastructure, water, gas, telecommunications, railways and so on are all wide open to abuse and sabotage. Doing so however is in my opinion about as close as an act of war as you can get if you do it from another country and should net you a decade or more in jail if not. It's also supremely cowardly, not unlike calling in a bomb threat on an airport. Assholes will be assholes.
