Russia has already recognized the power of the DIU cyber attack

As a result, the results of the DIU operation were felt by millions of users in all regions of the Russian Federation who could not use Internet services.

According to the estimates of enemy cyber analysts, given the success that Ukrainian hackers managed to achieve, the forecasts for the consequences of subsequent similar attacks are "disappointing".

For now, we can exhale and state that the operation is complete. Thank you to everyone who participated, helped and cheered. Of course, this is only a prelude to even more interesting events. We advise the Russians to start digging a death pit for their digital infrastructure. The time has come for the enemy to think about the idea of an isolated, primordial Russian "Cheburnet" with ditches, digital turntables and perimeter firewalls. See you in the next act of this fascinating story, — commented the interlocutor in DIU on the completion of the operation.
