Infamous Hackers Infiltrate Russian Websites To Make Some Changes

Several state-controlled or state-aligned Russian websites have displayed anti-Putin and anti-war messages after being attacked by the hacker group known as Anonymous.

The hack occurred early Monday and has since been confirmed by Anonymous.

“Dear citizens. we call on you to stop this madness,” the message began, “don’t send your sons and husbands to sure death. Putin is making us lie and putting us in danger. We have been isolated from the world, no one is buying our oil & gas. In a few years’ time, we’ll be living like in North Korea. Why do we need this? For Putin to make it to history books? This is not our war, let’s stop it!”

“This message will be deleted and some of us will be fired and maybe put to jail. But we can’t tolerate this anymore. Russian journalists who care. Anonymous,” the hackers added.

Individuals linked to Anonymous said they hacked into the Russian Ministry of Defense website Friday in order to leak government documents, including emails. Twitter users wasted no time posting the leaked emails to sites such as ChristianSingles, car warranty, and porn sites.
