Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Anonymous has declared war on Russia and launched multiple cyber-attacks against Russian entities, including Russian government sites, state-run media websites, and energy firms.

Anonymous recently declared war on all companies that decided to continue to operate in Russia by paying taxes to the Russian government.

Nestlè is one of the companies that is still operating in Russia after the invasion and Anonymous first threatened the company then hacked it.

This week, the group of hacktivists announced to have hacked Nestlè and leaked 10 GB of sensitive data, including company emails, passwords, and data related to business customers.
