Russia is the world’s largest country. I’ve lived all my life in Finland, about a hundred miles from the Russian border. Finland has learned to live next to a very large and very unpredictable neighbor. Both my grandfathers fought Russia in the second world war. Today, Finland ranks as one of the least corrupted countries in the world, while Russia ranks as one of the most corrupted countries. How is that even possible?
As Russia has grown more aggressive over the last decade and as it violently attacked Ukraine, attitudes about neutrality changed quicky in my home country. When Finland joined NATO in April 2023, NATO more than doubled its land border with Russia - which is probably not what Putin had in mind.
This talk will summarize the developments of the Russian cyber programs and about Russian patriotic hacker groups that got us into where we are today and makes educated guesses about where Russia will be headed next.

@@fadmad7257 Then you don't have a working backup do you? :p Like I said in a previous comment. You backup data, not code. Code is kept in a source control system like git or Perforce. If your scenario happens, you have failed at dev-ops. If one of my servers start doing unusual activities, like a lot of writes over a short period of time (ransomware), it will run a script to stop online backups/replication and send me a notification. If my source code was compromised I would step through the commits and find where the exploit was introduced and revert to a "known good version".

During the first weeks of the war I was monitoring Meshtastic nodes that would come online with MQTT, a LOT of new nodes sprung into existence back then and after I showed a screenshot as "proof" in a certain Discord group... they swiftly went offline.

In China communist party expropriated nation and sitting very sturdy there, it's hard to separate them. In Russia is a one-man system without even party, whole system time = equal lifetime of this man, after such man everything changes, you need to be blind to ignore one-man influence living in Finland before 2011 when Putin steps back under Medvedev presidency everything Kgb related collapsing, incredible liberalisation, that was quite a unique example in history when former dictator even returns back into power viewing how others destroying his kingdom of sorrow, only proving how too liberal it all was that they wasn't able to lock or move away old dictator. It's really sad to see such lack of education in Europe, high school books materials about simple political systems.

that is a very loaded and somewhat misleading take. when russia invaded finland, they had a non-agression pact with the nazis (and for dividing europe). finland was "supported" by some western countries. between the end of the winter war and the start of the continuation war, the nazis betrayed russia and russia allied with the allied forces. finland knew it will get invaded by either russia OR germany, because finland was located in a strategically significant part of europe. finland would've not been helped by the allied forces, because russia was allied with them. so finland had to make a deal with the nazis. but finland was never a part of axis forces. unfortunately making a deal with them didn't remove the fact that they had to re-enter the war. so as part of the deal, finland attacked russia with the nazis. eventually the nazis started to lose the whole war, and russia had built its war machine enough to the point that finland could no longer hold the lines and lost the war. as part of russian demands, finland drove german forces out of the country (lapland war). finland's part in WW2 is very unique and complex. so NO, finland didn't align with the nazis and it wasn't really about 'the enemy of my enemy...' etc. it was about doing what could be done in order to not get annexed by the germans and invaded by the russians with zero support from anybody. the finns are not proud about this part of the history. but it had to be done in order to have any hope of keeping independence and to avoid as many deaths as possible. finland kept its independence and to this day is the only country of all WW2 nations, that paid their reperations in full. finland was also never brought to any western war courts after WW2. hyppönen didn't leave it out to hide it. he left it out because it was essentially irrelevant to the story, which was about russian actions towards finland.

No, no and no. It's the N's who ruined the ancient symbol that was used in many cultures - Finland included - way before the guy with the funny moustache twisted it 45 degrees and turned it into the fascist symbol most people know it today. To stop using the ancient version of the swastika would be like giving up and admitting it would remain a N symbol forever. Please stop insisting that we should.
