Anonymous Affiliate Hacks State-Run Russian Broadcaster

NB65, a hacking group affiliated with the Anonymous collective, has allegedly breached the servers of the Russian government-controlled television and radio broadcasting company.

According to social media reports, the hackers are preparing to release hundreds of gigabytes of appropriated data.

The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) has been reportedly hacked by NB65, a group linked to Anonymous, the international hacktivist collective which declared cyberwar on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

After the Russian military forces crossed the Ukrainian border in late February, Anonymous vowed to disrupt Russia’s internet space.

The government-funded international network Russia Today (RT) admitted it had suffered a massive DDoS attack.

The group has issued calls for these businesses to leave the country.
