Six Russian government websites including the Kremlin's official site were down for several hours on Friday and inaccessible following reports of cyberattacks on various Russian government and state media.
The exact reasons for the outages were not immediately clear, but the international hacking group Anonymous claimed that it was attacking the sites.

Ukrainians have very good IT capabilities...
(so do Russians but yeah.)
Anonymous is claiming credit for it.
Russians have good IT capabilities, but many young Russians oppose this war and will not use their talents to support it.
They took down 6 websites while tanks roll in Ukraine. Is that how wokesters win?
“international hacking group Anonymous claimed that it was attacking the sites.”
Anyone else think that in this case Anonymous is really the NSA?
Well, Free Republic appears to be “down,” as well. It’s the slowest I’ve seen in years.

What do you expect from the pos who hacked Give Send Go? Should give you a real clear indication of who the good guys are.
Really? It’s rolling right along for me.

It is a little silly when you say it that way. But I’m sure Putin is furious that his webpage doesn’t load up for a few hours.
I never said they were good guys.
This is totally a bunch of neckbeards running scripts other people wrote. Knocking down a website for a few hours is like ripping a poster for a political candidate off a bus station wall and thinking their entire campaign is ruined.
This should stop.
Hacking wars are not helpful.
Good point.
Just clarifying who they are not accusing you of anything.
exactly and maybe some are clandestinely helping their Ukrainian friends and relatives who knows.
Anonymous is playing Ukranian songs on the Russian sites and showing video informing the Russians what is really going on in Ukraine.
My comment "They took down 6 websites while tanks roll in Ukraine. Is that how wokesters win?" is rhetorical sarcasm and it works because it highlights the ludicrous flood of inane propaganda stories.
Truth is the first casualty of war and the world is in a propaganda storm. Everyone is flogging their keyboards trying to convince the world of their position.
