Hacker collective Anonymous declares cyber war against Russia
Various LOICs and scripts launching matrixed around the world, background packet noise and exploit signatures growing higher, hackers and hactivismos and govts and corpos, all using physical war as cover for their "harmless/innocent" anonymous free for all melee held within "safe" confines of the internet, as if any GovCorp would really prosecute those acting from within its lands to its benefit, or any launch physical war over the net games all are having the usual fun sportsmanship conducting. Or not? Internet must decide these risks. Either way, expect interesting netsec summary reports and exfiltrated datasets to be released over the months to come. https://norussian.tk/ https://stop-russian-desinformation.near.page/ https://www.reddit.com/r/hacking/comments/t1a8is/simple_html_dos_script_for_...
