The Anonymous group continues in its war against Russia and Belarus

Anonymous, the most famous hacktivist collective, has posted more photos of hacked government websites in Russia and Belarus. Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, the group that officially launched a cyberwar against Vladimir Putin has continued to attack pro-Kremlin institutions and the media.

"This is undoubtedly something that the whole of Russia is talking about. These sites are still largely inoperative today, which paralyzes, among others, the functioning of local media, which are the center of propaganda. Therefore, these activities are of great importance today," Dr. Maciej Kawecki, Vice-Rector for Innovation at WSB University in Warsaw, president of the Lem Institute, said.

"The operation of the Anonymous group is fundamental today due to the operating model of the Russian regime, which is very closed and in fact, the citizens do not have reliable information about the war between Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, blocking the websites of the government, media, and television is a form of communicating to them that it is ongoing the war that foreign centers are also able to attack Russia shows in this way the inertia of the Russian authorities," Dr. Maciej Kawecki assessed.

On the day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Anonymous group officially announced on Twitter that it was declaring a cyberwar against the aggressor. Since then, an anonymous group of hacktivists has launched attacks and blocked access to numerous websites in Russia and Belarus, some of which are still unreachable.
