The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.

I see all the comments saying Ukraine targeted non-military entity. But IMO, Russia can get fucked. I am not sure if they shared the data with anyone, or kept it to themselves, but no loss.
For sure they use it for war purposes.
They sure as fuck aren’t using it for climate research. They dgaf about climate.
Ed: hack was maybe part of a bigger defense strike: https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/01/27/ukrainian-cyberattacks-cripple-russian-defense-contractor-weather-center/
The Russian Federation actually does give a fuck about climate… They want to make global warming worse. They get to sell more gas, they get more arable land up north, and they open up shipping routes in the Arctic. Putin is Captain Planet levels of evil, fr.
This has “they deserved it” energy.
Yes, they did
Following that logic, civilians should be fair game because “Russia can get fucked”.
Ukrainian civilians are fair game to the Russian military, so…
Israel 2 electric boogaloo
Yeah Russian citizens supporting Putler can eat dick and die, but it’s not Ukraine’s right to go after them
I love how we’re equating loss of data to loss of human life.
Taking a “this is justified because fuck Russia” line of logic to its logical conclusion is not the same as equating data loss to loss of human life.
I disagree wholeheartedly with the idea of collective punishment.
It’s very easy to turn collective punishment into discrimination and genocide. This solves nothing and only creates more problems.
I agree but this seems to be an attack on a military contractor, similar to if Russia attacked Lockheed martin. Sure Lockheed does civilian stuff but they actively help the military. I am not sure what the UN says about it, and it certainly isn’t the same as Israel collectively punishing Gaza.
I suppose everything has nuance
When the people accept this kind of behavior (of Putler), then they can’t have it nice, either.
I don’t think a lot of the people do.
I’m sorry, are you saying that genocide (which is what Russia literally is doing in Ukraine)is bad? Because again, that is literally what Russia is doing in Ukraine.
This is a target because it’s information can be (fuck that, IS) important and be used in the Russian invasion efforts. It’s a legit target

They can put that phrase on Ukrainian tombstones. /s
A data hack/destruction is not genocide.

This has got to be the most peculiar downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy so far. A principled disagreement with collective punishment? Weird.
Edit: what am I missing? Or have I stumbled into a part of lemmy that is totally fine with stuff Nazi Germany did, and present day Israel and Russia are doing?
