🚨 Fake Cyber Onion Ad: Hackers hate this one weird trick.

In what can only be described as a polite yet forceful technological persuasion, Russian state-sponsored group ELECTRUM has reportedly nudged the Polish power grid into an early Christmas hibernation. The group, known for their subtlety in world domination, decided that Poland needed a surprise break from electricity, just in time for a dark, candle-lit December.

The cybersecurity firm Dragos, which sounds suspiciously like a villainous organization itself, released an intelligence brief stating their ‘medium confidence’ in ELECTRUM’s involvement. Of course, ‘medium confidence’ is a cybersecurity term that translates to ‘we’re pretty sure, unless we’re not.’ Nonetheless, this marks the first major attack on distributed energy—because centralized energy is apparently so last season.

What’s most striking is that the attack was heralded as ‘coordinated,’ indicating perhaps that the hackers first met in an online forum titled ‘Hacking for Dummies’ and then promptly proceeded to disable Poland’s power network with the efficiency of a cat walking across a keyboard. Experts now suggest that Electrum’s next target might be Poland’s supply of kielbasa, because even hackers need to start small before going after the bigwigs.
