About this episode

Russia’s invasion drove cyber escalation: Ukraine organized a volunteer IT army for DDoS and targeting, while hacktivists and ransomware crews split loyalties. Google, Meta, Coinbase, Microsoft, Apple, Namecheap, and Telegram altered access, authentication, and services. Russia countered with censorship, sanctions workarounds, piracy legalization, and possible RuNet disconnection.
