It is quite plausible that Russia would try to take down parts of Ukraine internet given everything going on.

Alternatively, could simply be someone fat-fingering things, given the insane numbers of blocks that RosKomNadzon has been putting in today (Facebook, Twitter, etc)

I read an article (in Russian, will link later) outlining a plan to copy current BGP tables, update them so that the Russian internal internet space is encircled with government-controlled ASes, and filter or block any outside access, while making the BGP inside Russia look synchronized with the rest of the world. Of course this applies to all BGP announcements from outside the perimeter.

Not exactly a great firewall with packet inspection, but still something to prevent any possibility to access any resources except whitelisted ones, or to run a VPN to the outside.

Update: the article in question, Google-translated: https://whatisyournameinsider-com.translate.goog/politika/24...

If Russia is preparing to up its information warfare game does this give them better defenses against inbound attacks? While letting FSB selectively allow outbound attacks?
