Too bad Russia doesn't have the US's easily manipulated SWAT teams providing public dial-a-hit services. Ukrainian hackers swatting Russians would be an interesting new front.

Wtf you talking about? It’s absolutely there, just set it up that they are saying and/or doing antiwar stuff and they’ll fall from a window in no time.

A Russian could fake being an informant but then they're on the same authoritarian radar as the people they're fake informing on. You can't just anonymously dial it up like in the US.

I was just making a joke, but realistically, a good hacker should be able to leave evidence to be found by the right people without setting off any alarms in the process. Hell, do enough of them, you probably don’t even have to be great, cause you’ll send the systems they have set up to investigate into overload.

Problems with your neighbor? Send them to die on the front with this one easy trick!

Sure, but that would require some pretty specific and sophisticated espionage per instance in Russia.

In the US gamers can just randomly buy swatting services against strangers with no more than a target address.

At the cost of a high probability of going to jail for a non-guaranteed kill. If you look up swatting cases, most end up without a death and with the people who called it in behind bars. It’s not nearly as reliable as you seem to believe it is because of the big cases that did go wrong all the way through.

k. So now you're stuck defending the idea that there's a legitimate Russian analogy to the very American phenomenon of 'swatting'... Please elaborate on that with examples.

Well…

A) this is an article about hacking, were you brought swatting into it, not the other way around, I have nothing that I have to defend.

B) I’m not stuck doing anything, I could just as easily not give a fuck and say nothing, which is just one of a dozen variations of how I can reach a point of not being stuck defending anything. 🤷‍♂️

Cool, glad you finally realized there's no Russian analogy to US swatting.

In Putin's Russia, radio plays you!

Either you’re right and brought up swatting when it was irrelevant, or you’re wrong. Take your pick dear

Right and relevant enough to inspire your 'joke' reply.

Maybe those hackers should play a Russian version of the radio teleplay of The War Of The Worlds! 😂. Include correct cities and names of government officials talking.

Here, have another opportunity for you to feel smart and “get the last one in”

I'm beginning to think these Kremlin hackers are not the whiz kids the world thinks they are.

Too late, the fifth story window already got him

Do you take requests? I want to hear swan lake.

Eyy I see what you did there! 😅🦢🌊
