LinuxCommand.org: Tips, News And Rants: Recent Change to Community Translation Policy
I am hoping that with change I can get some of the translations moving. Some of them have been "in progress" for more than 5 years and it would be great if they got finished.
I will be making the change to the "Books" page soon, so keep an eye out for your chance to contact one of the translation team to offer help or encouragement.

GhostSec’s claimed ICS ransomware attack questioned
GhostSec alleged that it was able to compromise a remote terminal unit in Belarus, a major ally of Russia, and while files were encrypted as a result of the intrusion, no ransom has been demanded. However, SynSaber noted that attacks against the targeted device, a Teleofis RTU968, which runs on the popular Linux OS OpenWrt, have been done before.
[...]
GhostSec was also discovered by researcher Joe Slowik not to have encrypted all files within the device during the attack, with in-use files unencrypted.
"The requirements and implications of true industrial ransomware at the RTU or PLC level make this a very unlikely domain for criminals to operate in," said Slowik.
