[RIA Novosti] The leader of the Killnet association told Gazeta.Ru about the involvement of Russian hackers in violations of the information system of the German airline Lufthansa.

“We killed the corporate network of Lufthansa employees with three million requests of fat data packets per second. It was an experiment on rats that was successful. Now we know how to stop the work of any airport in the world,” the source said.

The hacker called the attack a response to the decision of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to supply Kiev with Leopard 2 tanks.

#7  Can someone decipher that headline for me? Or am I having a stroke!

Read below the headline where it says "Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited." So it's translated from the original Russian by a computer. Sometimes it is fun to try to decipher the translations. But I'm not altogether certain that even the Russians have an easy time with their language.
