This is a pretty scary article. And yet I have to say it’s weird to say we are pre-war. Ukraine certainly isn’t. So shouldn’t any scenario outlined in that article happen there already? The mobile network there seems to be operational.
- int_19h 2y agoTFA: > Ukraine was already at war for two years and battle-hardened. So anything that was simple to break was already broken by the Russians. Then after two years, the Russians managed to break Kyivstar, one of the biggest telecommunications companies of Ukraine, This was a very destructive attack. But the Ukrainians (in and outside Kyivstar) are good enough that in two days they were back up and running, because these people were prepared for chaos. They knew how to restore their systems from scratch. If we get an attack like this on VodafoneZiggo or on Odido, and they don’t get external help, they will be down for half a year, because they don’t know anything about their own systems.
- baxtr 2y agoThanks. I read TFA. That’s why I’m saying: the described doomsday scenarios don’t match with what we observe in reality.
