The website of one of the most famous hacker platforms XSS.IS, where mostly Russians sat, is no longer working. It has a stub with "greetings" from the SBU and French law enforcement officers. This is due to the arrest of its admin in Kyiv on July 22. This is probably the administrator with the nickname Tokha, who is also the founder of another large hacker forum, exploit.in. Law enforcement officials report a partial shutdown of the XSS.IS infrastructure, while cybercriminals claim that the main server was not affected. Are these actions enough to completely shut down XSS.IS? We asked Ukrainian white hat hacker Mykyta Knysh and Ukrainian hacktivist Sean Townsend about this, and learned some interesting details.

Recruiter Kateryna Kokhanska told about a 30-minute interview with a Senior Fullstack Developer with an expected salary of up to $5,000. In this case, there would be nothing special if the candidate was not in the kitchen, and in the background there were sounds of opening/closing the refrigerator, pots, frying, and rustling of packages. Such a house became a signal for the recruiter. But do IT professionals agree that this situation can be a reason for rejection?

Recently, the Ukrainian Association of Fintech and Innovation Companies released a new publication — «Ukrainian Catalog of Fintech Companies 2025.» This is not just a tool for specialists in this field, but also research, a snapshot of our turbulent times, and most importantly, material for analysis and reflection, which I want to share further.

This story — about a radical change in life path — surprises and inspires at the same time.
