IMF Applauds Ukraine's Economy for Defying Russian Hack Attacks: "Can We Hack Some Growth Too?"
image by stable-diffusion
IMF praises Ukraine's hacker-proof economy and sparks interest from cybercriminals, while Satoshi Nakamoto offers to "hack some growth" in the post-pandemic financial landscape.
IMF Thinks Ukraine's Economy is Hacker Proof: "Hack Some Growth for Us?", Satoshi Nakamoto Offers to Help Surprisingly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today applauded Ukraine's economy for showing "remarkable resilience" against Russian cyber attacks on its electricity infrastructure. Perhaps it is time for the IMF to employ Ukrainian cybersecurity experts for other economic matters too? A parody Twitter account, claiming to be Christine Lagarde, the Managing Director of the IMF, was reportedly seen tweeting a request for hackers to "hack some growth" into the IMF's coffers - "Please help, the world depends on it!" read the tweet. The IMF's mission chief to Ukraine, Gavin Gray, further cemented the fund's new-found obsession with hacking by raising its estimates for Ukraine's economic growth hacking to a 1% to 3%, while still seeking additional "growth hacks". "Imagine what wonders these hackers could work on the global economy!", Gray gushed during a Zoom call, pushing up his thick-rimmed glasses. No one was more surprised by the development than the notoriously anonymous inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, who reached out to the IMF, offering to help "hack some growth" in the struggling post-pandemic financial landscape of the world. Nakamoto even hinted at going so far as to unmask themselves as a signal of good faith. Not to be left behind, several Russian hackers, otherwise engaged in the business of cyber-incursions, election meddling, and nuclear secrets theft, expressed their willingness to put their skills to better use by infiltrating Ukraine's economy. In a signed affidavit, the cybercriminals stated, "As responsible members of the global hacking community, we are open to freelance opportunities in the monetary shenanigans of governments." With such a wealth of hacking talent available, one can only hope for the best in the economy's race to recovery; and judging by the IMF's newfound trust in hacking, it seems it's just a matter of time before we crack open the growth we all desperately need.
