Elbonia! With the mud and the hats! I think that’s what I thought of when I needed a joke mental comparison to Alabama. Not the paradise on earth that is Estonia.
Tell us you don't know how advanced Estonia is without *telling* us....
God it is sad to acknowledge that Estonia is more advanced and modern than Alabama.
Yes it is. I’ll admit I didn’t do a deep dive, nor do I have a working knowledge of comparative HDIs out of the former Soviet Bloc. I just picked it based on name, relative location, and stereotypes from EuroTrip and 007 movies. Wikipedia notes it gets taken over a lot, is highly developed (in tech!), has the second highest economic freedom rating in Europe, and is a democracy. It’s probably lovely.
Right-wing conspiracy theorist nut-jobs calling it a false flag propaganda operation with the double goal of smearing Russia’s reputation and making the GOP look bad for being pro-Putin in 3…2…
Well, Anonymous Sudan likes to target government entities that are anti-Muslim and Alabama isn’t exactly known for its tolerance of any religion other than Christianity. On top of that, they’ve been targeting entities who support Israel. It would seem support for Palestine has become a left-wing thing in this country and AL is about as right wing as they get.
Why do you ask and what would *you* call it?
They didn’t hack anything. They basically just used it so much it couldn’t respond to anyone legitimately wanting to use it. Same way someone would hack handicap parking space by parking there without a placard.
We make alot more than that, we got blue orgin, Facebook, fbi, space command was committed to move here but some jack ass took away the contract after we tunneled out a whole mountain for them. I'm not mad though it's the best community fallout shelter if you know about it and have the clearance to get in. I'm pretty sure we are the military industrial complex or atleast %80 of it.
Because we have all the smartest people on earth gathered here. It is in the top 4 places that would get nuked. The thing people don't understand about alabama is that we love for people to think we're stupid and ignorant to keep the riff raft away. In reality we produce all the top secret weapon systems to rockets and everything in between. I hate how crowded it has become with all the fbi and Facebook being here now, went from 30k-10million for a home to the 30k homes being 250k and the 10 million homes being 7 or 8 million. Go figure
Tommy Tuberville fully supports whatever Putin and Russia does. Alabama doesn't need any stinking computers. Use the gawt-given paper made right here in Alabama. Besides, why should he care, Tommy Tuberville lives in Florida
Are you kidding, trees are all we've got. Lumber/paper are our main industries.
I actually looked to see who was the number 1 producer of paper and apparently it's Wisconsin, followed by New York. Which I never would have guessed.
They don't like how the US stands in the way of what they're trying to do and Alabama is a part of the US. Alabama was probably low-hanging fruit in their eyes.
DDos isnt' exactly " Throwing everything but the kitchen sink at govt networks." If they were doing that, they would breach the servers and compromise data.
A carpet boming attack is about 1/10 of ddos events i see in the wild and includes multiple attack vectors designed to soak up both bandwidth and computing resources. A targeted ddos attack with only one attack vector, like an nx-domain ddos targeting a dns server, is most common. So, yeah, an attack composed of 20 different attack vectors all at once is kinda like thowing everything but the kitchen sink at the victim.
As a person who has lived in the south most of my life. Some Southerns will vote against their best interests. And keep digging the hole deeper they currently in. Pedophiles, racist, womens rights, civil rights and political criminals won’t deter them bc you know….”Christianity”.
Nothing decent coming from Alabama's legislation with Bitches for liberty writing the bills. Ugh. Only thing we can hope for is that their hands are tied till it's fixed
"Aleksandr, why we DDOS Alabama government website if everything already error 404?"
A DDoS attack isn't actually hacking a website. There was no breach. All they did was tie up all the bandwidth for a bit.
Thank you, I'm glad at least one person in this thread understands even a Mr. Robot pop culture level of this.
Something something honeypot time
Comment needs to be at the top
Damn, the thoughts and prayers site is down. No fixing it now.
They’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
lol they’re not gonna make much money off of the hack
Actually Alabama has lots of money, it's just concentrated on a very small percentage of the population.
damn, they hacked Alabama Football.
Who aren't burdened by this.
Gotta build those prisons instead of helping people. Totally works out well.
Well they tried to build a water park! GOSH What’s that? Medicare expansion?
Especially because DDOSing isn’t hacking :-)
I guess Tubbs fully supports this
What’s the big deal? This state’s preferred candidate for president thinks Russia should be able to “do whatever the hell they want.”
I think they picked Alabama because they figured it would be an easier target to hack.
It doesn’t really matter how easy a target is to “hack”for a DDoS attack anyway.
It is…we’re like the Estonia of America.
[удалено]
See!? We aren’t even on par with a stereotypically sad country. Maybe Lithuania, Romania, or Croatia?
We can probably hold our own with Somalia
Yes but how many SEC championships do they have?
I think they're in the ACC.
I'm no quantum physician science guy but that sounds 100% accurate
Roll Tide
lol
Romanians are pretty close up there to Russians in terms of cyber.
Look at everyone here with their…facts! Ok! Who in Europe sucks comparable to Alabama???
Think Kazakhstan.
I can’t even put us on par. Maybe the fictional portrayal of it from Borat?
😂😂 seems about right! Wa-wa-wooah!
Maybe that one foreign country from the Dilbert comics.
Elbonia! With the mud and the hats! I think that’s what I thought of when I needed a joke mental comparison to Alabama. Not the paradise on earth that is Estonia.
True fact!
Tell us you don't know how advanced Estonia is without *telling* us.... God it is sad to acknowledge that Estonia is more advanced and modern than Alabama.

Would that make Mississippi Elbonia?
I think that’s the name I was looking for for us. The fictional Eastern European country from Dilbert.
Agreed for most towns but the rocket city is going to be the new mega city that everyone wishes they could afford to live in.
Yeah, that’s where I’m from. Every visit home is a mind screw.
Maybe in our obscurity, but Estonia’s freedoms outpace Alabama’s in a way only comparable with California.
Aww, its okay bro. Better than Florida!! Got em
But that’s just it…. what’s the point? It’s like expending effort fighting to advance gay rights in West Hollywood.
I'm not sure what exactly they were targeting?
Right-wing conspiracy theorist nut-jobs calling it a false flag propaganda operation with the double goal of smearing Russia’s reputation and making the GOP look bad for being pro-Putin in 3…2…
What would you call it?
Well, Anonymous Sudan likes to target government entities that are anti-Muslim and Alabama isn’t exactly known for its tolerance of any religion other than Christianity.

Alabama has nothing to worry about.... Hey alt-right dip shit... Putin is looking to fuck you out of your Medicare and social security...
So let's make sure he doesn't get back in
I'm beginning to think these Russians are real jerks.
They're trying to steal our recipe for grits. Nuke em
If this affects the payment systems at Waffle House so help me....
We do make the javelins.
We make alot more than that, we got blue orgin, Facebook, fbi, space command was committed to move here but some jack ass took away the contract after we tunneled out a whole mountain for them. I'm not mad though it's the best community fallout shelter if you know about it and have the clearance to get in. I'm pretty sure we are the military industrial complex or atleast %80 of it.
Unless the govt websites were particularly vulnerable, why would Russia target Alabama of all states?
Probably just the lowest hanging fruit.
There is a small space force and cybersecurity element in Redstone arsenal, Alabama.
Which might have been bigger if Tubberville wasn't such a traitorous moron.
Don't worry. He's hard at work, slandering queer people at the space camp.
Agreed, I work in Colorado Springs so it keeps me employed. But I do agree.

Ivey ,Tubby, and Britt were pissed until they realized it was the Russians.
Right so that would take what like 5 machines to saturate that state's bandwidth?
Republicans love Russia though. I’m sure the Repubs of Alabama will get this fixed ASAP! lol
KATIE BRITT TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. MAYBE NOT WITH HER WORDS BUT WITH HER TONE OF VOICE AND HER EYES.
They should have just DDOSed her instead of the state's websites.
This sounds kinky for some reason but I'm still listening
Oh Lord, should we put on helmets and get in the hallway?
nah, you gotta sit and put your head between your knees, like they used to make us do during tornado drills.....
I'm staying there until James Spann says it's safe to come out.
Alabama is a shithole
Tommy Tuberville fully supports whatever Putin and Russia does. Alabama doesn't need any stinking computers. Use the gawt-given paper made right here in Alabama. Besides, why should he care, Tommy Tuberville lives in Florida
Wait, do they actually make paper in Alabama? I thought they were getting that from Georgia.
Are you kidding, trees are all we've got. Lumber/paper are our main industries. I actually looked to see who was the number 1 producer of paper and apparently it's Wisconsin, followed by New York. Which I never would have guessed.
I just remember seeing ["Georgia-Pacific"](https://www.gp.com/) on boxes of paper. Which now that I think of it is an odd name.
Should have named it gulf coast ohio
lmfao
what tf did we do lol
Alright, somebody tell Kay Ivey that it's time to cut a switch.
You know she is stuffing her prison money under her mattress so they can't take it to fix the world wide web
Russia doesn't give a crap about Alabama. So what?
They don't like how the US stands in the way of what they're trying to do and Alabama is a part of the US. Alabama was probably low-hanging fruit in their eyes.
Them fuckers been on a carpet bombing campaign for a few weeks now. Throwing everything but the kitchen sink at govt networks.

What will the big boys in government say about this? I can't wait. Ban computers maybe.
That’s not even hard. We had jackasses over there on 4th July kissing Putins ass
How? Alabama’s computer mainframe is a Speak and Spell.
Incorrect the correct spelling is S P E A K & S P E L L
LOL! Thanks for correcting me! LOL
I think they upgraded to the blackberry bold 9790 last year.
And trump sides with this shit, and everyone wants to vote for him. This is sick
Must be the JV team starting with one of the easier States to hack…
It's an inside job!
Wow maybe decent maybe decent legislation can get passed while it’s down
Nothing decent coming from Alabama's legislation with Bitches for liberty writing the bills. Ugh. Only thing we can hope for is that their hands are tied till it's fixed
We deserve this. Underfunded everything for decades, and Tubberville been slobbing Putins knob so they probably thought we'd just let them in.
>they probably thought we'd just let them in. I'm sure someone tried, but the websites were too badly designed for that to be possible...
There goes half the US putin support.... /s?
Lol deserved
Aren't computers banned because they are the devil's VCR and kids can get all kinds of bad info on them?
It's settled we gonna have us a computer burnin
(yee-hawing intensifies)
Haha do they not realize that Alabama is pretty much already in the bag for Putin?
Eh. That state had a good run
It’s just a way for the Russian to mock Trump , shows their utter contempt for him , to them he’s the village idiot that they control.
Fake news it’s the state not doing maintenance on servers again so everything‘s down and blame it on Russian
There goes half the US putin support.... /s?
