New evidence supports theories that Russia is sabotaging critical digital infrastructure

Summary

Finnish investigators found an anchor drag mark on the seabed near a damaged power cable, suggesting sabotage by a Russia-linked vessel.

The anchor drag trailed across the seabed for nearly 100 kilometers.

The discovery heightens concerns about Russia’s “shadow fleet” of fuel tankers, operating without Western-regulated insurance, and their potential involvement in sabotage.

The EU plans to take stronger measures to counter the risks posed by these vessels.

Yeah I am so tired after years of this hybrid war still seeing news articles about how we may be entering an era of hybrid war.

To Russia and soon to the realizing world, the cold war never ended. It simply became digital instead of physical. Why fire guns when you can break a populace via social engineering? Why invade when you manchurian candidate your enemy into attacking 50% of its own citizens and attempting to undo 100 years of international treaties and allies?

Execute the captain and first mate, take the ship, tell Russia to suck it.

I am so goddamned sick of Russia and China constantly testing the West and getting no response but "condemnation".

Is this journalism? Was this in any doubt at all?

In which Russia tries to drag everyone else back to the dark ages so they can beat us with experience.

Self-burns are rare and this is an especially subtle one. ~chef's kiss~
