Laughably Reckless or Legit Threat? Russian Cyber Army’s Comedic Hacktivism Hits the Spotlight

In a world saturated with cyber threats, the Cyber Army of Russia trumpets their “most reckless hacker group” title like a badge of honor.

Hot Take:

As if being notorious for meddling in foreign elections and causing energy blackouts wasn't enough of a resume builder, Russia's hacker ensemble has turned into a full-blown cyber boy band, complete with a hit list of water utilities and a penchant for Mario tunes. The Cyber Army of Russia, after getting a shoutout from Mandiant, didn't go into stealth mode—nope, they took a bow on Telegram, thanked the 'rotten West' for the recognition, and kept the hits coming. When the limelight's on, why hide when you can slide... into more SCADA systems?
