Maybe its just me, but it feels like there has been a lot less ransomware attacks since the Ukraine/Russia war started as well.

a solid number of propaganda ("marketing") and malware gangs operated out of Ukraine, or other parts of Eastern Europe.

the war definitely changed those flows and targets; e.g. they now flood reddit with pro-Ukranian posts.

most of Russian agit-prop now flows out of "marketing" contractors in India, Pakistan, or Nigeria.
