#Anonymous hacks into Russian firm nuclear plant.
*Anonymous defaces Rosatom website, starts to leak gigabytes of data* 🤓 (link to data in article: we can't post the link because Twitter is mean to us sometimes).https://t.co/2uxp0yafen— Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) March 15, 2022
Ukraine authorities informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Russia was preparing to take full control of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant under the management of state nuclear power firm Rosatom.
The Zaporizhzhya site, Europe’s largest nuclear reactor, was confiscated by Russian forces on March 4 where a fire broke out during their attack, resulting in the global worry of a prospective nuclear incident.
Anonymous likewise declared it had actually obtained Russia’s nationwide safety company, posting on Twitter: “Russian websites under attack,[Tango Down]” the last declaration connecting to military jargon suggesting an enemy has actually been beaten in a fight.
Amongst the websites, Anonymous declared to have dropped are Moscow.ru, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Analytical Center for the Government of the Russian Federation, and also the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation.
FSB is the principal security agency within the country and the main successor agency to the Soviet Union’s KGB.
This comes after the group launched a cyber offensive against Putin, which included a chilling warning telling him his ‘secrets may no longer be safe’.
The group of hacktivists took to Twitter to announce the websites they had successfully brought down, including FSB, the Russian intelligence service. They also leaked private correspondence between Vladimir Putin and Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu, outlining plans to cut down Ukrainian forests and sell onwards.
More hacking from Anonymous as reported by DailyMail:
Last week, Anonymous claimed to have hacked into Russia’s media censorship agency and released 340,000 files from Roskomnadzor federal agency, stealing classified documents which they then passed on to transparency organization Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), who published them online.
The trove of 820 gigabytes of emails and attachments, some of which are dated as late as March 5, shows how the Kremlin is censoring anything referring to their brutal invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow is instead calling a ‘special military operation’.
The Anonymous hacker said they ‘urgently felt the Russian people should have access to information about their government’, DDoSecrets said.
The files relate to the Russian republic of Bashkortostan, one of the largest in the federation with a population of four million.
