Documents released by the hacking group show that Russia is censoring the narrative regarding its role in its war with Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Anonymous hacker group has hacked into Roskomnadzor, the Russian Federal Agency responsible for monitoring & censoring media, & released 360,000 files, the group announced on Twitter last Thurs.
Among the censored documents released by Anonymous, some of which are dated as late as March 5, are ones that show Moscow censored anything that referred to the war as a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Roskomnadzor blocked Russian use of Facebook after it flagged Russian articles as factually inaccurate. They are also threatening to block Russian Wikipedia for including an article on the Russian invasion.
Some days ago, Anonymous hacked several Russian broadcasts, interrupting their content & leaving messages saying that normal Russians do not support the war.
Random Russians
Anonymous has been waging a cyberwar against Russia since Feb. 24 when the invasion began. The group has taken credit for hacking multiple Russian Govt. websites. They also opened a website where users could send emails to random Russians whose email addresses were stored in the database, & they encouraged users to “spread the truth about war in Ukraine.”
On Wed., Anonymous denied a report that pro-Russian hackers hacked its website.
