Why dont they use Linux so weird.
Replying to @Mustachius_Grumpius@thelemmy.club
Russia is so brain drained that they couldn’t even roll their own distro if they wanted to let alone figure out how to at least obfuscate the government malware.

This can’t be the reason since they still have people like fancy bear and a lot of tools in the hardware hacking scene / piracy are russian, for example makemkv. You also don’t need no scientists to roll out linux. But I would also like to know the real reason since a lot of russian tools are also windows based which is kinda paradoxical.

If your main target is windows it makes sense.
Working on the system your targeting gives you additional experience but I wouldn’t develop my own tools for the os I am targeting.
