Russia is trying to sabotage European railways, warns Prague
LLM summary:
The Czech Republic's transport minister warns of Russia's attempts to disrupt European rail networks, suspected to be part of a campaign to destabilize the EU. Thousands of hacking attempts, including attacks on signalling systems, have been made since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While the Czech Republic has managed to defend against these attacks, concerns remain about potential accidents. Similar attacks have targeted railway companies in Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, and Estonia. Prague is taking measures to strengthen cybersecurity and limit foreign involvement in critical infrastructure projects, advocating for more EU funding for transport infrastructure to address increasing demand and alleviate strain on conventional operators.
Good that I'm living in Germany where sabotaging the railway system would probably make it better.
All I have ever heard about Germany(...mostly) is that the public transport is ridiculously good with enviable punctuality.
It is excellent by global standards, but has suffered in recent years from setbacks. So while it’s better than almost anywhere else (besides maybe Switzerland, Austria and Japan), from the perspective of someone living in Germany, it’s declined of late. I think this explains why you often hear negative comments from Germans but positive from others.
Fuck russia. The West must unite to undermine the russian state. We should use all covert means to fuck with them, hopefully accelerating their demographic cataclysm.
I don’t understand how these kinds of attacks aren’t an act of war.
It cannot be declared an act of war if the target country isn't willing to bring consequences on the aggressor.
Oh great, the comprador galaxy brains finally got an ideal excuse for railways being rotten by thatcherite neoliberal reforms: blame Russia! And looking at comments, raccoon brain already eat this.
