Скачать или смотреть The 3 Faces of a Russian Hacker: From Hacktivist to State Spy

When you hear the words "Russian hacker," what do you imagine? The reality is far more complex than a single stereotype. This documentary dives deep into the intricate ecosystem of Russian cyber operations, breaking it down into three distinct archetypes:

The Hacktivist: Young, nationalistic, and fueled by state media, these "minor league" players conduct noisy DDoS and defacement attacks for publicity and to sow chaos.

The Cybercriminal: Motivated purely by profit, these ransomware operators use "RaaS" (Ransomware-as-a-Service) to extort Western companies, bringing money into the Russian economy while following one rule: never attack targets at home.

The State Agent: The elite professional working for agencies like the GRU or FSB. These are the master spies conducting stealthy, advanced attacks against foreign governments and critical infrastructure.

Discover how these three groups are interconnected, how the state "conducts" the entire orchestra, and why this reliance on cybercrime has become a national "addiction."
