The Anonymous Hacktivist Collective, which is carrying out a cyber attack on Russia, has announced that it has stolen important Russian information.
Anonymous Hacktivist Collective
The 'Anonymous Hacktivist Collective' group, which is active around the world today, was formed in 2003. Who is its leader? Who are the members in it? No one has any idea about it. The group says it is attacking those who abuse power.
This group says their identity is the 'Guy Fawkes mask'. The Guy Fawkes mask refers to the masked men from Alan Moore's novel 'V for Vendetta'.
Hacking
The group, recently hacked Russian television, aired broadcasts of attacks in Ukraine. It was hotly debated around the world. A group hacking channels inbetween live shows and then broadcast a video about the plight of the Ukrainian people.
Similarly, the group hacked printers in Russia and printed anti-Russian slogans. The team said 15 hackers were involved in the operation and that more than one lakh prints had been taken so far.
Warning
In this case, the hacking group has launched an attack targeting multinational companies operating in Russia. The message to those companies was, "Leave Russia immediately. Otherwise, you're our next target."
While Western countries have already imposed sanctions on Russia, many multinational corporations are leaving Russia. In this case, the Anonymous Hacktivist Collective is carrying out a cyber attack on Russia.
