Sat 26 January 2022:
The official Kremlin website went down Saturday amid reports of cyberattacks on Moscow. The website, kremlin.ru, went down along with five other Russian government sites, according to the Ukrainian state telecommunications agency.
The agency also claimed Russian TV channels were hacked to play Ukrainian music. There have been several reports of cyberattacks against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The Russian-funded media outlet RT.com said this week that it was hit with a denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
The websites that are dark notably include the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense.
“Anonymous has ongoing operations to keep .ru government websites offline, and to push information to the Russian people so they can be free of Putin’s state censorship machine,” the group said in a tweet.
The hacker collective Anonymous said on Twitter Thursday that it was “currently involved in operations against the Russian Federation,” though it did not specify what they were.
