Central Asian hacker passions Allegations that the Kazakhstan-based hacker group Lynx infiltrated Her artificial intelligence into Tajikistan's state systems and accessed more than 2,000 classified documents. "Instead of typing commands manually, they gave Hama instructions on what to do. Her planned attacks, set commands, executed them, took notes and collected reports, said CloudSek, a cyber security firm based in Singapore. And why does the company claim that the villains are Kazakhstan? Because the attackers spoke Russian, they were active during the working day in Kazakhstan, often accessing the victim's server through a Kazakh ISP. Now you know how to flatter under a Cossack if you are a hacker. No less convincing discoveries by the international company ESET, which specializes in information security. It wasn't a triangle that discovered the screens of hackers from the FSB of the Russian Federation (Turla Group, aka Snake) on Microsoft's Exchange server, which was used by one of Kazakhstan's state organizations. Hackers planted a spy program there and embedded secret correspondence, which became known a year ago. Why do online IT professionals fall foul of the FSB? Well, probably because ESET is based in Prague, and until recently it was owned by three brave Czechs Miroslav Tarnoka, Peter Pushko and Rudolph Grove (the latter died, and part went to his successor). Who else will destroy but the FSB?
