Cyberattack On Ukraine Internet Provider Causes Major Outages

In the last 24 hours, with Russia continuing its heavy bombardment across Ukraine, parts of the country have seen severe internet outages. One cause appears to be a cyberattack on telecoms provider Triolan, which serves a substantial number of users across the country.

Unverified reports circulated earlier today suggesting Triolan had been hit by an attack. Asked over Facebook if reports of a cyberattack were true, a spokesperson responded, “Yes, unfortunately, there are no details. Engineers are now working on restoring the Internet.” Three other sources within the company and a former cofounder of the business said a cyberattack had occurred, with one claiming some of Triolan’s internal computers had stopped working because the “attackers reset the settings to the factory level.” They added that recovery was proving difficult because some equipment required physical access to restore, which was not possible due to the risk of life to personnel.

I wonder how many Starlink dishes have been installed in Ukraine in the past 2 weeks?

Elon has stated that his entire org has been tasked with making the Starlink system more robust and resistant to attack.

I did not imagine that John Galt would look like Elon Musk.

One lesson to be learned from this war is to do that on day 1. Ukraine is winning the Social Media war.
