at a press event in London, the agency’s director-general, Graeme Biggar, acknowledged: “If we had more resources, we’d be able to do more.”

The National Crime Agency (NCA), once heralded as British law enforcement’s elite answer to the questions posed by serious and organized crime, including cybercrime, is “on its knees” according to a new report.

The agency is facing a critical “braindrain” with senior and experienced staff leaving in large numbers, warned the report published Monday, with particular concern expressed about the NCA losing “nearly a fifth of its cyber capacity annually.”

@AkomoCombine ikr

The group Beregini has previously been observed working in coordination with other pro-Russian groups to share fake documents and spread false information about Ukraine’s war plans

According to Gawkowski, Poland’s Minister of Digital Affairs, cyberattacks on Poland have doubled since last year, amounting to more than 400,000 in the first half of the year. The country is an attractive target for pro-Russian hackers since it supplies military aid to Ukraine and hosts Ukrainian refugees

@disk4mat indeed 🤞 they stay safe also

At that time, the group Beregini, which describes itself on Telegram as a “Ukrainian hacker group,” claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it was a response to the Olympic Games being “turned into a political oppression instrument.”

The group was allegedly responsible for the attack on Poland’s anti-doping agency, POLADA. Earlier in August, the agency reported that hackers “supported by the services of a hostile state” were suspected of leaking over 50,000 confidential files, including medical records and testing histories of Polish athletes, from POLADA.

Poland’s security services said they have broken up an alleged cyber sabotage group linked to #Russia and Belarus that attempted to “paralyze” the country with cyberattacks.

The group, whose members were not publicly identified, extorted information from Polish local government agencies and state companies related to military and security matters

The law gives the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Ministry – the Taliban’s morality police - sweeping powers to enforce a stringent code of conduct for Afghan citizens.

Now Afghan women are showing their dissent by posting videos of themselves online, their faces covered, singing songs about freedom.
