Today Finland is voting in county and municipal #elections. Unsurprisingly the idiot Russian "hacking crew" is DDoSing websites of the political parties.

Newsflash: The voting is pen & paper. No websites are involved in the voting process. You gain absolutely nothing by DDoSing the party websites.

I used to be in IT and so understand it's not how the internet works, but... I would cut all internet traffic from Russia. If they use another country as a proxy, I would give that country time to respond and then cut all internet traffic to them too. Eventually you will either isolate a few countries who are bad actors or you will isolate yourself. Either way it's a win.

Good

Finland and Sweden understands the risks for the democracy and keeps pen and paper, THE only system ever to be trusted.

I wish you a good results, or at least it’s a valid result whoever wins.
