I probably should be upset. But it's just so hard to be after what the guy did.

Pretty much my thoughts. They're not the good guys, but the guy who got hacked was a bigger douchebag

My advice is that if you have to use any of this shithead's code, I recommend just forking it without his consent and inspecting it for garbage before using it.

He got off light, IMO.

A civilian taking pot shots at soldiers is no longer a civilian, so too must a malware author taking cheap shots at geolocated IP addresses no longer a mere bystander in cyber warfare.

good for Russia

It is a full spectrum war and anyone who attacks the Motherland is a legitimate target

2 months ago, apparently. I'm surprised I'm only finding out about this now, I recall how big a story the tech issue was.

You guys won't accuse me of liking Russia, but this is absolutely fair play in this case.

And yeah, wasn't this old ass story?

ruski citizens shouldn't suffer for things they literally have no control over.

I'd be more concerned here about the Belarusians but yeah, this RIAE character is a dumb faggot (also figuratively).
