When Passwords Go Wrong: Pro-Russian Hackers Turn Norway Dam into a Water Park!
Pro-Russian hackers breached a dam in Norway, taking “water works” to new heights. They exploited a weak password, releasing water for four hours. Authorities say it’s part of Russia’s hybrid warfare strategy. Though no major damage occurred, the attack highlights vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
Hot Take:
Norwegian dams are apparently the new playground for pro-Russian hackers—because why settle for dry land when you can make waves? With a password as secure as “password123,” it’s no wonder the hackers had a field day. This incident proves that hybrid warfare might just be the new trend: part cyberattack, part waterpark adventure.
