Russian Cyber Shutdown - Joe Blogs

[TexasTowelie]

Western governments have just taken one of the biggest steps yet against Russia’s cyber-crime ecosystem — and the impact could be enormous.

In this video I break down the new coordinated sanctions announced by the US, UK and Australia against Russian companies accused of supporting ransomware and cyber attacks on Western businesses, hospitals and critical infrastructure.

We’ll look at the real-world damage caused by these criminal networks:
• Retailers like Co-op, Marks & Spencer, Boots, JD Sports and WH Smith
• Manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover, Royal Mail, Vesuvius and Morgan Advanced Materials
• Major US targets like Colonial Pipeline, JBS, MGM Resorts and CNA Financial
• Attacks on healthcare, schools, universities, logistics and more

I’ll explain who these Russian hosting companies are, why they were sanctioned, the financial impact of ransomware globally, and what this means for Russia’s cyber-crime ecosystem going forward.

This is a major escalation — and it could change the global cyber landscape.
