Politicians working for their own profit instead for the well-being of the people who elected them? Color me shocked!

I'll develop my own browser before using an ad-infested internet. Luckily I don't have to do that, because there are alternatives and also because it would be a damn time consuming project to put it mildly 😅

Even if they would get all of Ukraine, I would expect quite a bit of underground resistance that would make holding on to Ukraine expensive.

It's hard to give tips without knowing your situation better, but here are a few general ones that probably already set you apart from the vast majority of other small companies:

  • Keep your stuff updated, especially when there are security fixes available
  • don't take convenience shortcuts that compromise on security (e.g. relying on "security through obscurity")
  • block incoming traffic by default (you only need some people from your country to access the network? Maybe even block ip ranges from the other side of the world)
  • log access to your network and also analyse the logs often (probably with the help of some software)

I'm just some Software Engineer with a few years of experience, not some security expert though😅
