I think they missed an opportunity here to quantify the background levels of Russian cyberattacks.
On a typical day in a western corporate network probably 40% of the crap in your honey pots comes from China and 35-40% come from Russia or Belarus. It would be interesting to see how global malicious traffic statistics change when one of the biggest belligerents is distracted.
Also I wonder what it's like to run a corporate network in Russia where domestic cybercrime is not tolerated but international cybercrime is promoted.
Personally I geoblock about 20000 attacks on my personal network from Russia everyday and about 5000 a day from China, so God knows how many attempts are made in total FROM Russia globally, it must be astronomical.
