The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.

They’d be morons if they didn’t back up important data off site.
Have you ever seen any academic IT systems? They are all underfunded ans run by grad students.
Even worse, they are often a case of accretion by generations of grad students and undergrads.
E.g. a university was redoing how it hosted student club websites. When it eventually killed the old hosting, 1 site stayed working. It was eventually tracked down to a little mini pc mounted above the false ceiling. It had been plodding away for 20 odd years, most of that without any maintenance at all.
Are we sure universities arent run by the cult Mechanicus?
and here we have underfunded science with lots of russian corruption on top
real chance of backup system money disappearing in pockets…
You’re insulting grad students. ;) But yea, I imagine it is very underfunded!
Soviets are morons, so they didnt.
Someone’s gonna fall off a balcony for this then.
