Yes funny - LOLOLOL.
Glad you got a chuckle. I guess you didn't bother to read the alert. It has NOTHING to do with hacking YOUR computer. The ONLY reason a foreign national would attack your computer would be to add it to a bot farm for a DOS or other attacks on more important targets. In fact, if you run windows there is a good chance your c computer has already been owned and is simply waiting to be put into action.
The alert is by our CISA and it says they are seeing a new custom code being tested against companies that are critical to our infrastructure - manufacturing, electrical grid, hospitals, etc, etc, etc.
The alert is for THOSE industries, to let them know to take steps to verify they are not infected and to take steps to guard against becoming infected.
As I said, we are on the verge of going to war with Russia, unless things change soon. And this alert shows that Russia (and others) are preparing to launch a cyber ware against us. There has never been a full scale cyber war - ever. We have no idea what the results will be. I hope we are prepared.
But, one thing I am fairly certain of, is a cyber war will not be funny.
