The two suspected group are in Russia, no surprise there.

Makes sense. They could be free lance or even kids but they are really good hackers.
I do not know if it is government condoned, they would never have thought about it with Trump but they got less than zero respect for Biden.
Still, let that be a lesson in business, do not depend on the BS. Like Gordon Ramsey brings in POS terminals and wait staff limited phones which really help keep the books, anytime it could go down so keep that old pad and pen handy to take orders. Like having a Cadillac with ONstar, don't throw the cellphone away.
Being able to work without the net is a huge asset.
I kinda got to trust Russia a bit for that four years, but no more.

He's working for the CIA now of course.There's a huge area open for hacking. I know a woman about 10 years ago her house was raided and her sons computers were taken away. He was 15 at the time and had hacked into the government computers. He was put on a watch list with a serious warning. I don't know what happened afterwards, I havnt seen her in years.

And Belarus hi jacking a plane, kind of ? To get the opposition guy under their control, prolly never to be seen again.The Russian government tolerates the hacking and extortion, as long as it is not against Russia or Russian enterprises. It was the exact same with Trump as it is with Biden. Putin didn't respect Trump -- he seemed to have owned him. Putin is Russia. If you trusted Russia, you trusted Putin, and he can't be trusted. Period.

I watched a doco on space station the other day, cost to date 150 billion dollars.Over the course of my lifetime, the US has spent trillions on new warplanes, missiles and ships. Half of the US Government wants to keep that up (guess which half). IMO, the future of war is cyberwar. Imagine if Russia were to take down our air traffic control systems with thousands of aircraft in the air over the US? After what happened in Texas a few months ago with the "Big Freeze," imagine taking down the power grid during a major winter storm in the entire Northeast.
Instead of throwing away a trillion dollars on a new multi-force fighter jet that isn't any better than the ones we have, we need to invest that money into cyber defense.
Just my two-cents.

Most countries tolerate hacking, Israel for one, and of course you have that long lost relative in Nigeria. Of course not agianst their own country.The Russian government tolerates the hacking and extortion, as long as it is not against Russia or Russian enterprises.
