Hackers Join War Against Russia, Leak Space Program Files

This claim of hacking has emerged following reports that Ukraine바카라s government had appealed to the country바카라s hackers to shore up country's cyber-defences against Russian cyber-offensives and to also hit Russia in the digital domain.

A group of hackers associated with the group Anonymous broke into a website of the Russian Space Research Institute (IKI) and claimed to have leaked internal data on the internet. IKI designs and builds equipment for the Russian space program.

The claim was made following reports that the Ukraine바카라s government had appealed to the country바카라s hacker community to shore up the country's cyber-defences against possible Russian cyber-offensives and to also hit Russia in the digital domain.

The group, which calls itself 바카라v0g3lsec바카라 on Twitter, left derogatory messages on one of the domains of IKI바카라s website.

One message read, 바카라Heyyy Russian [homophobic slur].. Sorry.. Cosmonauts ??.. idk what to say, go get a nice website instead of threatening people with ISS, heard??바카라

바카라Also leave Ukraine alone else Anonymous will f**k you up even more :)),바카라 read another message.

The content that the group leaked online allegedly belonged to the Russian space agency Roscosmos and discussed the country바카라s moon program. The content was a mixture of handwritten notes, PDFs, and spreadsheets in both Russian and English and discussed potential landing sites for spacecraft on the Moon's South Pole among other things, according to VICE. 

This claim has been made in the midst of reports that an 바카라IT Army바카라 has come up in Ukraine at the initiative of the country바카라s Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who is also the country바카라s minister for digital affairs. According to cyber-security firm Sekoia바카라s Livia Tibirna, up to 2,60,000 volunteers have joined this 바카라IT Army바카라.

Despite the enthusiasm of contributing to the national war effort, the impact of such hacking activity is believed to be limited as the Russians had already predicted such moves. Several Russian websites had been 바카라geo-fenced바카라 by the time these cyber-offensives began, which means that websites were unavailable for anyone outside Russia. 

Amit Serper of cyber-security firm Akamai told BuzzFeed News, 바카라I assume the Russians realised that pretty much whatever they are trying to do to everyone else, the same thing can be done to them.바카라
