The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

This cyber hack is a wake-up call not just to Ukraine, but all of Europe and the world. It demonstrates the lengths that Russian hackers are prepared to go to steal sensitive data, reiterating why everyone must take the threat of future Russian intrusions with adequate seriousness.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russian agencies and government computers are attacked by sophisticated hackers from across the world every single day. The Russian government is by no means an exception in having to ensure that its systems are protected and safe from foreign attacks. It's disingenuous to label the Kremlin as a bad actor when it comes to cyber crimes.
