NDSU Launches Nation's First PhD Focus on Cybersecurity Education

All of this smells like a prosecutor wanting a big case hit so he can advance his career.

All cyber-security firms said they never got hits for Kronos or UPAS-Kit.

The first Kronos detections came after his arrest. Go figure that! How do you charge someone for developing malware that never infected anyone?

I have a feeling this guilty plea is not actually a "guilty" plea, and more of "let's get it over with."

The guy has always called the charges "bullshit" and was asking for donations to keep up with legal costs.

This isn't how a legal system is supposed to work. You don't take a guilty plea because you run out of money.

To be fair, the report is authored by an US entity. I'm sure if they could have studied US operations without losing their funding they would have found similar deployments by US forces, albeit, I think not as widespread. The US has always seemed to have better tech, and GPS spoofing is cheap, from what the article states, which makes it ideal for the cash-bootstrapped Russian military.

tl;dw: they got lazy at the end of the 70s and started copying their own hits over and over, putting out the same type of shows. Toy companies got involved and created their own toons, with a superior quality, and they were done after that. Cable also hit, and they couldn't keep up with the demand, so also lost additional market share.
