Anonymous has hacked into Russia's media censorship agency and released 340,000 files in the latest undermining of Putin's war propaganda campaign.

The hacktivists broke into the Roskomnadzor federal agency to steal the classified documents which they then passed on to transparency organisation 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, show how the Kremlin is censoring anything referring to their brutal invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow is instead calling a 'special military operation'.

Wow - sounds just like Julian Assange and the US Fed.gov

Whatever happened to Assange anyway?

Probably the work of U.S. or British intelligence, with the goal of destabilizing the Putin regime.

Since the Russians have started to limit internet, the number of pieces of spam that makes it to my mailbox has gone from about 50 to about 2.

Perhaps Anonymous could be really helpful and release the Facebook and Twitter files on blocked information and state propaganda...

ha, who am I kidding.

Not only that, the telephone has gotten quieter too. Methinks a bunch of VoIP was being routed through their IT resources.

No, Anonymous are just puppets for Uncle Klaus and Uncle George.
