Sandworm Strikes Again: Ukraine’s Power Grid in the Dark – A High-Stakes Game of Cyber ‘Lights Out’
Step aside, James Bond villains, the real-life baddies are here. The Russian hacker group, Sandworm, notorious for hacking power grids, has turned Ukraine into a real-life game of ‘Lights Out.’ Their signature move? Wiping data so clean, it puts your teenager’s ‘parent inspection’ room cleanup to shame. If unpredicted power cuts are making you lose unsaved documents, you know who to blame.
Hot Take:
Move over, Hollywood spy thrillers, and make way for the real bad guys. The notorious Russian hacker group, Sandworm, has been playing a high-stakes game of 'Lights Out' with Ukraine. Using a novel technique, they've been causing power outages and, presumably, a significant number of unsaved Word documents. The plot twist? They're also wiping data, making the aftermath look as clean as a teenager's room when they know their parents are due for an inspection. Now that's what I call a 'dirty' clean-up operation.Already a member? Log in here
