Russian hacker cyber attacks Kremlin and lands in the Gulag

Quite frankly, I'm not sure what he was thinking:

A Russian IT worker accused of participating in pro-Ukraine denial of service attacks against Russian government websites has been sentenced to three years in a penal colony and ordered to pay 800,000 rubles (about $10,000). 

According to the state-owned TASS news agency, a Russian regional court handed down the sentence against Yevgeny Kotikov, who is said to have supported Kyiv during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. To this end he and others DDoSed government websites including those belonging to the Russian president and the country's Ministry of Defense, we're told.

Solid plan, tovarich.

  2. Bernie's campaign claimed the gulags "Paid a living wage." Bernie never repudiated that claim. I wonder if he still agrees, or if this is not true since their gulags are no longer Communist?
