- kgeist 3y agoThat's basically the only argument I've heard so far - if a hacking activity happens between 06:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC then it must be the Russians, otherwise it's someone else. Doesn't sound like a very strong argument? "Modular implants with code reuse" - sounds like exploit kits you can buy on hacking forums.
