Anonymous hackers announce hitting 14 targets in Russia on Ukraine’s Independence Day

Anonymous, the world’s most famous cyber group, posted a video from the Ukrainian Armed Forces StratCom on its page on social network X (formerly Twitter). It announces large-scale events on the territory of the terrorist state on Ukraine’s Independence Day.

The video was captioned: «On August 24, the Ukrainian army will strike 14 Russian cities, including Moscow.»

Social media users began retweeting the hacktivists' messages. A user under the nickname @EvilMaksym wrote: «Even if it’s IPSO, spread it, let them [окупантів] panic.»

This is not the first time Anonymous has helped Ukraine in its cyber and information war with Russia. Earlier, the hackers condemned the actions of Elon Musk, who refused to delete a tweet by the former president of the terrorist state Dmitry Medvedev that «Ukraine will disappear because no one needs it.» Anonymous asked CEO X on what principle the then Twitter tolerated such rhetoric. The hackers were also interested in why Musk had lifted restrictions on Russian political figures on the social network and provided them with a platform to spread disinformation and harmful propaganda. The millionaire then replied that «Putin is not his friend.»

As a reminder, Ukrainian hackers KibOrg hacked a Russian conference on the theft of Ukrainian children. Ukrainian hackers joined the meeting and told the terrorists what would happen to them after Ukraine’s victory: «Each of you will be responsible for all actions, for every child’s tear. Your data and words are recorded, prepare your wills.» In a panic, the Russians began to turn off their microphones and cameras, some of them covering the cameras with their hands, trying to leave the meeting.
