    Someone pointed out in another thread that it would make a lot of sense that this attack was for clout/reputation on the darkweb as a high profile advertisement for their DDOS business.

      “DDOS business”

      “So what do you do for a living?”

      “Oh I’m just a massive piece of shit, I own a business that ruins things for people.”

            There are people who spend a tonne of energy and materials needed and wanted across the planet to fund crime and trash all that material, just to fill their wallet

            and then there’s people who waste tons of other people’s material and energy to selectively hurt others by participating in crime, just to fill their wallet

      So instead of “look ma, I’m cool”, it’s “look potential hirer, I’m profitable!”.

      Then it makes sense why they’d translate their stuff in EN/RU/AR even being potentially not speakers of any of them - because their hirers might.
