Micah Lee, computer security engineer and developer of "OnionShare" (an open source tool for secure file sharing over the Tor network), author of the "Danger zone" and "semi ephemeral" projects, gave birth to a high-profile Twitter post on the topic of the fact that, finally, for the first time in the history of the Internet, Russia is faced with a "fair game" in the form of cyber attacks.
Micah Lee said:
I don't think people fully appreciate just how much, after invading Ukraine, people are hacking Russia. There are multiple hacks a week and it's only increasing. For first time in internet history Russia is fair game for cyber attacks, and this is what it looks like"

Micah Lee is an active member of DDoSecrets (where leaks of Russian companies are illegally published) and does not hide his anti-Russian sentiments. An adherent of open-source software does not disdain to actively repost anonymous and other hacker groups that are engaged in outright sabotage, cyber attacks, DDoS attacks, phishing and spam against Russian organizations.
Even after the DDoSecret account was deleted by Twitter moderation, Micah continues to maliciously share information about leaks on her pages in an attempt to bypass Twitter's moderation mechanisms.

No wonder the Whonix Project disowned journalist Mick Lee and slammed a comrade from the main page (which depicts Snowden) for trying to hype by labeling the founders of the project as "fascists". For attempting false accusations, Lee snatched more than one kind comment from his own followers on his blog at the end of the post:
"Micah, Like many other journalists you're focused on vanity metrics and what serves you and your ego. Many people never saw evidence of Whonix supporting any form of fascism. This is one of those flamebait posts which holds about as much water as a sieve. Many of us read your blog because it was useful and fairly neutral. But this sort of tripe is just as bad if not worse than the drama and crap you are trying to virtue-signal about. Please learn how to objectively write. For a journalist professional you have a long way to go"
