Stoli, a top vodka brand with a presence across the world, filed for bankruptcy last week - with an apparent cybersecurity incident among the reasons.

In the bankruptcy filing, the company listed many reasons for its financial failings, including legal disputes with the Russian government, the country’s confiscation of two distilleries worth around $100 million, and a ransomware attack that allegedly happened in August 2024.

In the official document filed with the Texas bankruptcy court late last month, the company’s CEO Chris Caldwell discussed the cyberattack. “In August 2024, the Stoli Group’s IT infrastructure suffered severe disruption in the wake of a data breach and ransomware attack,” he said.

    Holy fuck is business insider unreadable - without blocking their shitty scroll-up popup thingy

    Currently I just switch to text mode/reader thing in Firefox

    But boah, is that thing nerve-wracking
    How could anyone think, that this bullshit would lead me to buy a subscription?

    Sorry for the off-topic rant, but that shit really hits a nerve
    Is my good old internet really gone to shit and the only way to get real information is through Gemini/Gopher?
    And while I’m on it: are there any search engines for that?
    I tried to build up some link lists/bookmarks for stuff I’m interested, but would be really cool to have a search engine for it - as there one existing I don’t know about, or do I use it wrong?
