Anonymous Just Hacked Russia’s Central Bank
The group promised to “release 35,000 files with secret agreements in 48 hours”
Anonymous, the international hacker group, recently declared war on Putin.
So far, they’ve done some damage. They DDoS’ed Russia Today, a major TV channel. They briefly hacked two of Russia’s biggest state-controlled TV channels to show support-for-Ukraine content (video here.)
The hack lasted for all of 12 minutes. Yet, millions of Russians saw the pillars of their media, hacked by outside forces.
Today, Anonymous claimed on Twitter that it has hacked Russia’s Central Bank. They also promised to release sensitive documents in the next two days.
How effective is Anonymous’ war against Russia?
People are saying that the war in Ukraine is a lot less cyber-oriented than was expected. That is simply not true.
There may not have been an increase in the number of direct cyber-attacks against Ukraine since the invasion. But the warfare is real. And it’s happening mostly on TikTok.
