Sort of interesting news from Ukraine on the cyber front. I missed this earlier, but there’s apparently a link between missile strikes on Odesa and simultaneous calls for Russian hackers to attack Odessa. An interesting signal of coordination, but clearly not really well thought out or developed.
Some day I’ll have to write up about the serious limitations of “patriotic hackers.” They get disproportional coverage and “respect” compared to how strategically ineffective they are. They’re typically not even a tactical benefit. Indeed, they are, a net negative for national cyber offensive capacity. Complex technical jobs with national ramifications should not be left to the whims of amateurs outside of a command hierarchy.

Experts with Ukraine’s Special Communications and Information Protection Service found that Russian hackers coordinated missile strikes on Odesa, launched by Russian strategic bombers on May 7. — Ukrinform.
