Do Russian hackers suck at hacking?

Their infamy is getting tested. It’s failing miserably.

I once had this conversation with the only rich guy I know. He owns an ISP. I once asked him if the Russians were the best hackers in the world.

Without any hesitation at all, he said, “Yes.”

At the time I believed him, but are they really so good at being bad?

Its day umteen of Putin’s military fiasco/humanitarian nightmare and . . . well. what can I say? I’m typing this in America and you are reading it in all parts of the world, except Russia of course probably.

Shouldn’t “the grid” be down in the entire western hemisphere by now? Shouldn’t our own nukes be blowing up our own cities? Or even worse, like the west is now doing to all of Putin’s crony oligarchs, shouldn’t we all be seeing our bank accounts and crypto going up in a smoking pile of borscht by now? No? None of the above?

So, what gives, comrade Putin? What are you and your much-feared army of zit-faced, unshowered Russian incels waiting for? A war to break out? Looks like you started a doozy already.

You’ve unleashed the kind of total war not seen in Europe since before you were born, comrade Putin. Is there something we still need to do to piss you off just that much more…
