Gregory's Server@ansuz I have a different opinion on that. Why are a lot of randsom-gangs from Russia, a country where things only happen because the gouvernement allows it to happen.
How do you deal with mallware that use Telegram to connect to the command-and-control server as it is encrypted, it hides nicely in the noise of the legimate traffic and -as part of the telegram master-key is in Russia- ?
There is now a saying:
"telegram is the new dark web".
Why is that?
How do you deal with that?
@kristoff this is the last thing I'll say on the matter because it's way outside the scope of the post you replied to:
starting by funding better software that isn't vulnerable to these things.
implement protections for security researchers who report flaws in hardware and software so that critical infrastructure (hospitals, power grid, etc.) can fix those vulnerabilities.
Canada's governement freaked out and banned devices like the flipper zero because it could (allegedly) be used to interfere witth other devices. In cases where those allegations are actually true, the root problem is that those devices were designed to operate in an insecure way.
Security researchers and well informed legislators have been saying all of these things for years, but it resonates more with many voters (and lobbyists) to blame foreigners.
