Anonymous hacked Russian streaming services to broadcast war footage

Anonymous hacked into the most popular Russian streaming services to broadcast war footage from Ukraine.

The popular hacker collective Anonymous continues to target Russian entities, a few hours ago the group hacked into the most popular Russian streaming services to broadcast war footage from Ukraine and demonstrate to Russians the atrocity of the invasion ordered by Putin.

Russian citizens ignore that their army is attacking the Ukrainian population and many children are dying.

The collective remarked that it wants peace and wants only to hit Putin and not Russian citizens, it wants to stop the military invasion of Ukraine. The group is also aware that its operations could create conditions that could be abused by third-party attackers.

Activists were also able to broadcast troll faces on Russian military radio:

The huge wave of attacks is creating problems for Russia that is fearing massive cyberattacks that could be conducted by nation-state actors is preparing for disconnection from the global Internet. The disconnection from the Internet will allow Russia to apply massive censorship limiting access to information for the Russian people.

Stay tuned …
