Politically Motivated Hackers

What is happening? A report released this week from Accenture says there is an uptick in politically motivated hackers, with more hackers motivated to hack Russia.

Why is this important? Cannot make this stuff up: ” the notorious Conti ransomware gang pledged allegiance to Moscow. In response, a Ukrainian security researcher decided to leak a trove of internal chats detailing Conti’s operations.”

How will this be important? The day of the Russia attacks on Ukraine Anonymous, the hacker group, announced it was targeting Russia.
