Yes, according to my sources, a phishing campaign has been going on since the beginning of the invasion. The problem that knowing exactly who is behind it is a bit difficult, it starts from almost all over the world, and pointing the finger at someone is just unethical: until proven otherwise it can also be the Ukrainians themselves or even criminal groups that are exploiting the situation, not necessarily the Russians.
Yes, no one is truly holy, we know that. Mass surveillance is undertaken by all states, some in less invasive ways and some in outright abuse. But you also have to consider states that rely on cybercrime to attack an adversary and those that defend their citizens/customers only with ito… That’s the difference in a nutshell.
Congratulations, this was a good read for me. Even though I already knew enough about it, I think hearing different opinions always inspires me. I ended up using ProtonMail and Tutanota as my email providers, but I still use my Gmail account because it’s still a pain in the ass due to force majeure. Someday I’d really like to get Google out of the way, but their services are great for my taste… They are just too much of a bad habit.
Anyway if you’re interested over the years I’ve also started using SimpleLogin in combination, can go AnonAddy service as well, and I’ve had a great time.
A demonstration is unjustified when it touches the rights of others, someone told me, but censoring free information is a violation of our rights, I say. This is the example that the right to information for a human being is worth nothing, Russia labels everything as fake news but she herself has been spreading it over the years… What a disgusting world.

It looks like Firefox has trackers too, right?
I’ve been using NextDNS for years now and I’ve never had any problems, with 20€ a year I don’t worry about anything anymore and it does its duty. These self-hosting solutions have maintenance costs that should not be underestimated, I have had bad experiences with PiHole and now keeping the Raspberry 24h access impacts a little on the bill.
It could be a very important university to be considered even strategic for an adversary state, you have to consider also the fact that at the level of military strategy it can be an objective to prevent to make grow culturally the people… That’s why I’m not surprised. Then it’s not just the university, it’s the whole world that is affected.
