The hacker group claims to have crashed Anonymous’s site.
The hacker collective Anonymous has carried out several cyber attacks against Russia, crashing several important sites with denial-of-service attacks. Now Anonymous itself has been attacked, reports Daily Telegraph.
A hacker group called Killnet claims to have crashed Anonymous’s website, Anonymoushackers.net. On social media, people have reported an error code when navigating to a page. The site would appear to be working again at the time of writing, but DDoS security is enabled when navigating the site.
Earlier this week, Killnet also published in Russian on the subject videowith a picture of a hooded figure with the Russian flag behind it.
– The Internet is full of fake information about hacking Russian banks, attacks on Russian media servers and much more. None of this poses a danger to humans. These “information bombs” are just text, nothing more. Don’t fall for believing misinformation online. Don’t doubt your country, the video says.
The video accuses the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, The United States and Europe from the current crisis. The hacker group claims that the conflict will end really soon and that we will find peace.
– What is happening in the world now was coming sooner or later. The cause of the war is Zelensky. His policy is wrong, from which his people are now suffering, the video says.
– Do not be afraid of the Russians, nothing and no one can threaten you.
The hacker group also showed their words to Anonymous, ranting that its actions seem pathetic.
With hackers operating behind the veil on both the Ukrainian and Russian sides, it is very difficult to say for sure what exactly the hackers have accomplished, how long various sites have been crashed, and what the significance of the attacks in the big picture really is.
Anonymous, which has declared a cyber war against Russia, is made up of several hacker groups, and no one directly leads the joint action of the groups. Different hacker groups can claim to represent Anonymous themselves. Communication is handled prominently on Twitter, which has several store-related accounts.
