Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
No silly. They only stopped half of the bots, at random of course, so that the rest of the bots can survive.
Randomware
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police arrested four people and took down 100 servers across Europe and North America in what Europol said was the biggest sweep against malware ever conducted.
Police arrested four people and took down 100 servers across Europe and North America in a major sweep against malware, Europol said.
One of the main suspects in the operation earned at least €69 million in cryptocurrency by renting out sites that would deploy ransomware.
Finding the suspects took a coordinated effort from around the world, Europol said, with the operation initiated and led by France, Germany and the Netherlands.
“Law enforcement authorities have managed to deal a significant blow to the cybercrime scene,” Martina Link, vice president of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office, said in a statement.
“Suspects involved in these and other botnets who have not yet been arrested, will be directly called to account for their actions,” the law enforcement agency said.
The original article contains 404 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Three Ukrainian nationals and one Armenian were arrested, with ten more international arrest warrants also issued.
I'm guessing those "three Ukrainian nationals" have a lot more loyalty to Russia than their homeland. And I'm guessing I know where at least some of those other ten are located.
Criminals come in all shapes and colours. There's nothing hintingat a covert Russian OP.
Apart from this being a global malware operation, you mean?
I don't think the Russians have a monopoly on botnets
I think when three Ukrainians and one Armenian were involved, it sure points towards Russia.
Eh, eastern Europe just has a lot of cybercrime around in general cause it pays better than real jobs in the area and getting visas is hard
U cracked the case, interpol here you come.
I don't claim to be a master sleuth. However, I also am not so lazy that I can't type out a three-letter word when I post.

i feel this as well, we may see proof that this is indeed right in the next days or weeks. Thanks for all the nice posts and comments, looks as if you were jet propelled !
Some members of Ommastrephidae are known for their jet-propelled flight, earning them the common name of "flying squid" 😋 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ommastrephidae
Yes, that is indeed how we propel ourselves out of the water. Then we glide on our fins!
