  It's literally in the article. > Although cyberattacks have become more high profile, there is little reliable data on how many attacks take place in the UK each year. Hackers are drawn from a mix of organised criminal gangs, those sponsored by state actors including Russia and China, and hacktivists with a political agenda, according to a report by the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi).

    That's just a general statement; nothing suggests these children are working with or acting on behalf of Russia. More likely they are spectrum'd to fuckery or pushing a political agenda.

      > More likely What are you basing this probability on? The UK and EU has seen a significant increase in cyber-attacks and acts of sabotage since February 2022. In some cases, evidence has been found that the attacks were orchestrated by the russian government. I suppose it's all one big coincidence?
