Great read, and incredibly relevant.
During the FAI Wingsuit World Cup in Netheravon last week, a group of Russian "trolls" kept trying to take down the site. The PPC director spent most of the day watching the code, watching the Russian group attempt to take down the site. We couldn't figure out why such a small, obscure site would generate such attention. The article somewhat explains "why."

Thank you!

It's a great read. And an indication of a new battlefield.

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the Capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them
Like Russians do
Now we've got all this bloom, we needn't got the room
And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon

As vacation land for lawyers in love

Regardless of your political leaning, that was pure comedy!

Thanks, bud.

Like when the only serious newscast (worth watching) is the "Daily Show?"

SAD!
