Just after Netflix, EPIC and other streaming media and game platforms announced that they would be suspended in Russia, Putin directly unbanned a resource website called RuTracker.
What are the most lethal weapons of the 21st century?
nuclear weapon? Or the "murderous" technological blockade...
Since the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the artillery fire that fell on Ukraine has displaced innocent people, and the technical sanctions and technological blockades that have fallen on Russia have also been "painful".
In the past two days, in addition to the ironic sanctions of "Russian cats" and games, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Apple, etc. have also "pulled out knives" and announced changes to their business plans in Russia, which will undoubtedly affect the lives of Russian people on a large scale.
You think that's going to make it difficult for the fighting nation?
Non-also, just after Netflix, EPIC and other streaming media and game platforms announced that they were out of service in Russia, Russia directly unblocked a resource website called RuTracker.
At first glance, a resource site doesn't seem to be able to make any big waves? That just proves that your internet age is too young.
For those "old networms" who were active on the Internet before 2010, the word "seed" should not be too affectionate, "a seed" can be a game, a movie, a song, or even a Windows system, An Adobe family bucket...
In an era of piracy and "seeds", RuTracker was recognized as one of the best PT sites in the world.

The so-called PT website is simply a small range of BT downloads, you can choose and control the number of users (such as only allowing registered users to download), the advantage of this is that the user's download speed can reach the bandwidth limit, the download speed is better than the ordinary BT download.
Rutracker is recognized as the best resource site because of its abundant and high-quality resources, as well as its support for searches in Both Russian and English.
Russia's powerful civil hacking group single-handedly built Rutracker into a paradise for "cyberliberals." According to statistics, at the end of 2021, RuTracker has more than 13 million registered users, with more than 40 million visits per month.

So, unbanning RuTracker is, to some extent, a seal on Russian hackers, and if you don't realize how "ruthless" Putin's move is, it only means that you know very little about this "frightening" group!
I don't know if you have installed a pirate system, and the world's first hacker to crack the Windows XP system came from Russia, and thus opened the era of the global pirate system, so that Microsoft planted a big heel, and even now has not fully stood up...

Also tripped up adobe, Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc., Russian hackers can always crack its new version of the software, games for the first time, and cracked very thoroughly, basically covering all the functions of the genuine software, and then upload the software to major websites for free to download, and also claim that only "free, open, equal, sharing" can promote the further development of the Internet.
These Russian hackers roaming the global network can be traced back to the Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union attached great importance to information technology education, and many university professors would encourage students to crack American software and apply it to the Soviet Union's own systems, and even preschoolers would receive knowledge about software development.
Today, if this ancestral "craft" is not bound by the law, the consequences are unimaginable... Obviously, this war and the continued pressure on Russia have completely broken the comfort and tranquility of the Internet.
Interestingly, after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Anonymous, the world's largest hacking group, announced that it would hack russian websites and servers to help Ukraine.
Many netizens have paid attention to the news that "many russian websites have been invaded for a short time", but they do not know that "Anonymous" has provoked people who should not be provoked, and has been educated... The official website and server of "Anonymous" were attacked by the Russian hacking organization "Killnet" after it invaded the Russian website, and hung up its own statement.
Needless to say, the Russian hacker's trick of "defeating magic with magic" is a bit cool...
Moreover, the Ministry of Economic Development of russia has drafted a document entitled "Priority Action Plan for Ensuring the Economic Development of Russia under the Pressure of External Sanctions", which covers civil and criminal liability arising from the use of pirated software (Administrative Crimes Act and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), and states that while being subject to sanctions, the government allows the piracy of software without Russian-made alternatives.
Once this proposal was adopted, it was tantamount to an "amnesty order" from Russian hackers.
And this is undoubtedly a knife hanging over the heads of a number of science and technology giants, Xiaobian sincerely asked, when everyone sanctions Russia, did they forget that there is such a "gray organization" behind people? Maybe it just didn't occur to me that Russia really dared to open the siege of hackers.
RuTracker has been unblocked, and given the current international situation, I am afraid that pirated software will become the norm in Russia for a long time to come, but what does this mean for the global Internet of Things?
