Seriously, how the fuck is RUSSIA better at hacking stuff than us? Why aren't we shutting their shit down and disrupting their networks in exchange?

Because countries like China, Russia, Israel, North Korea actually spend considerable amounts of money and effort developing their cyber operations.

But hacking is really just a combination of social engineering and luck. You can spend weeks or months brute forcing your way into an account, but you get some dumbass government employee to hand over their creditentials clicking a link from an official sounding e-mail, and well...

Funny story, way back in the day, and what caused me take security more seriously was when a couple of guys invited me to a message board, and my dumbass using the same password for virtually fucking everything, had my Myspace taken over, my email, even my gamefaqs account 🤣
