About 30,000 residential broadband modems were knocked offline in central Europe at nearly the same time Russian forces invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. The outage affected infrastructure run by communications company Viasat, based in Carlsbad, California. The company says the original modems not destroyed or bricked, but rather knocked offline via a series of commands sent by attackers. The U.S. government has not attributed the attack to any individual or nation-state, although Russia or a close ally remain obvious suspects.”]
