On the 28th, the skies of Russia collapsed!

Who is it? How was it done?

Netizen Vladimir: What if the digital ruble becomes a dream? ??? At that moment, all citizens would lose their money...

July 29, Russian newspapers reported.

Noise, crying children, hundreds of delayed and canceled flights, chaos in boarding areas, tens of thousands of passengers could not take off.

Everyone went on vacation, we had prepared so long, it's really frustrating! – Irina was about to cry.

At night on July 28, hackers carried out a large-scale attack on the digital infrastructure of "Russian Airlines".

Who is behind it and how was it done?

This cyberattack was claimed by the hacker group Silent Crow (Silent Crows) and the "BY Network Guerrilla".

They said they destroyed 7,000 servers and gained access to a 12 terabyte database.

According to them, the hackers had infiltrated the company's network a year ago and had been preparing for this attack during that time.

According to sources from Tsargrad, it is clear that both groups were acting under the direction of Ukraine, which is making every effort to disrupt Russia's air and railway transportation. So far, this has been achieved through drone attacks, but now other means are being used.

They did not make any demands, they did not ask for money, they publicly announced and took responsibility.

Why?

The vulnerability in the code - those backdoors that opened the door to the digital infrastructure for hackers.

The tools and items used by "Russian Airlines" and listed by the hackers are all foreign products.

Yes, the software is mainly Western, yes, it does run, and is considered globally secure.

What should we do then?

To improve security, we must first truly shift to fully Russian-developed software, and ensure that these developers never contact any foreign companies, do not leave their positions, and are always under the control of our specific institutions.

This is not just a problem of the "secret enthusiasm" of all state-owned companies for Western software, but a national policy issue.

It is very important that people at the "front lines", security engineers, can get stable and good salaries. Currently, there is a problem where the salary of department or director is 15-20 times that of engineers.

As a result, high-level security engineers have no interest in this job and usually work remotely - and these people often choose Western or European companies.

We need at least our own servers, Russian data centers, autonomous network infrastructure, network equipment, autonomous processors, autonomous operating systems, and all digital environments, from instant messaging to video hosting.

Evidently, as long as we cannot completely replace all software with Russian ones, disasters can happen at any time.
