“The servers of the main developer of Russia’s military draft registry have been hacked, all data wiped. The source code and documents will be handed to journalists and released publicly. Take your registry and go to hell.”

  1. I hope that the developers haven’t done their backups properly.

  2. Are we sure that these were RUSSIANS that did that?

  3. If they didn’t also hack the backup system and delete it there too, this hack will do little. But thumbs up for the effort.

  4. I hope they fix it soon so we can get the fatality/casualty count to break 2 million orcs.

  5. I have so little faith in the russian people that even if Putin was hanged from a lamppost tonight, im not remotely convinced anything would change about russia.

  6. They’ll probably start asking up men in military years (in ruSSia 16-100?) and have them show their id.

  7. How do we know the nationalities of the hackers?

  8. I mean.. they’re Russians, but I’m guessing they’re still familiar with the principals of confidentiality, integrity and availability. They most likely have backups.

  9. There was a register? Didn’t they just take random people from the streets? No shopping for you today, you won a trip to the trenches!

  10. That’s what happens when Russian recruiters try to conscript guys smarter than themselves.

  11. in Russia back up is like window locks.. They never work

  12. *I love this for them*

    Both for the hackers who achieved their objective and for the orcs who need to spend the time rebuilding the db.

  13. They dont have a backup from last week? I work at a small company and we hard and online save our data daily…

  14. Wait, wait, is that a typo or are Russians now hacking Russians, e.g. to prevent them getting drafted?

  15. They should hack and destroy the payment system to the soldiers, that would f up their moral even worse.

  16. This will actually matter more than a lot of kinetic attacks. This is how Russia puts bodies in front of bullets. If you can’t efficiently automate that process, your ability to progress slows down or reverses.

    I suspect this is going to be a much bigger story down the road.

  17. Why do you think this will take months to restore? It will take hours. I fucking wish it took months but that’s just not how it works.
