A mocking chant — "hit 'em with a stick, hit 'em with a broom, fook 'em up, BOOM" — is being shared as commentary on Russia's cyber activity around the war in Ukraine. The post ties the taunt to Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, bot networks and cloud-based attacks, and warns that election interference and cybersecurity are on the ballot in the US midterms, urging people to vote.
Why now: Concerns about Russian cyberattacks and election interference are resurfacing ahead of the US midterm elections.
