Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Russia Is Preparing to Disconnect The Entire Country From The Internet In a sensational test of technological independence, Russia is making plans to cut off its internet from the rest of the world, with a giant 'unplugging' experiment that will affect over 100 million Russian internet users. The action – which the nation has boasted of doing for years – would be a temporary test, designed to see if an isolated Russian internet can function 'offline' in the event of a cyberattack that forcibly disconnects it from foreign servers. "We are talking about the protection of critical infrastructure, which should be located in the territory of Russia," German Klimenko, the former internet adviser to Russian president Vladimir Putin, said in 2016. "There is a high probability of 'tectonic shifts' in our relations with the West. Therefore, our task is to adjust the Russian segment of the internet to protect [it] from such scenarios." source: https://www.sciencealert.com/russia-is-preparing-to-disconnect-the-entire-country-from-the-internet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovakialop 2,258 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 American press is so sensationalist and so anti-russia that is ridiculous The disconnection will be only for one day as a test. The total disconnection would only occur in the case of a cibernetic war. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian 20,017 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Not gonna lie, that's an amazing idea. I believe the next big battlefield will be online. And unfortunatelly everything nowadays is somehow linked to the Internet. Being sufficient nation-wide will avoid a lot of troubles if a war was meant to occur.
