Russian Government Site Hacked by Anonymous Hackers
The web site of a government agency tasked with boosting Russia’s image abroad was hijacked by hackers who posted a message using a threat from the nation body involved with a effort to block a favorite messaging program.
State media watchdog Roskomnadzor has already been using a court order to prohibit the Telegram messaging support for a month, blocking millions of IP addresses and interrupting a assortment of unrelated online services in Russia.
A message calling Roskomnadzor “nothing but a lot of incompetent dumb worms” appeared on a page linked to Rossotrudnichestvo, the bureau for boosting Russia’s image overseas, for a couple hours on Thursday.
“You will not have the ability to keep this unnecessary vandalism any farther.
The English-language warning has been accompanied with a primitive comic book-style recommendation for Roskomnadzor to “block itself” captioned in Russian.
The most recent hijacking bears similarities to the violation of a Russian country environmental watchdog’s site on May 1.
That hack has been accompanied by the picture of a cartoon character sporting a Roskomnadzor arm patch using a flamethrower on the “net,” and a sign of Telegram creator Pavel Durov’s “Digital Resistance” he announced contrary to political censorship.
