That's Life

A month ago, on November 1, Ukrainian servicemen were killed as a result of another Russian strike during a mass operation deep in the rear in the Dnipropetrovsk region. But this article is not about the parade ground and public awards in the Defense Forces, which have long been recognized not just as bad manners, but as a completely unjustified and even criminal danger, but about the causes of the aforementioned tragic incident. Then the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi stated that the enemy could most likely have learned about the meeting place by hacking the group chat of Ukrainian military personnel on social networks. We decided to investigate the question — what regulatory documents and how exactly does the Defense Forces regulate the creation of such chats in messengers? What messengers can be used for work communication, what do the defenders themselves think about it and how is information security provided in their brigades. And most importantly — who and how controls the implementation of these regulations. To do this, we spoke on condition of anonymity with three servicemen from different brigades.

Imagine: one day, all secret data — from government negotiations to bank keys — could become accessible. This hypothetical day has been called Q-Day. The day when passwords and all cryptographic algorithms will become vulnerable to quantum computing. And both hackers and governments are already actively preparing for it. GIGAGROUP experts, together with dev.ua, analyzed how real the «information apocalypse» is and whether quantum computing poses a threat to cybersecurity.

The developers of the PolyGlobe map, which visualizes bets from Polymarket with geolocation, have unauthorizedly used the API of the Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState. In this way, they wanted to improve the visualization of bets on the capture of Ukrainian cities by the Russians.
