Russian sites hacked across country to show their war dead

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-sites-hacked-across-country-to-display-their-war-dead/ar-AAUqys0

multiple Russian state-run media outlets were hacked across the country to display anti-war messages and Russia's war dead, as President Vladimir Putin continues his full-scale invasion against Ukraine.

A host of Russian media sites, including news agency TASS, Kommersant and Izvestia were targeted by hackers to display messages calling for an end to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.


"Dear citizens. We urge you to stop this madness, do not send your sons and husbands to certain death," the message read on several websites. "Putin is forcing us to lie and is putting us in danger."

Independent Russian news outlet Novaya Gazeta reported that some sites were hacked with messages that said: "Stop the madness and do not send sons and husbands to certain death."

Some sites were replaced with a black "tombstone" stating that 5,300 Russian troops had been killed in four days—since Putin declared a "special military operation" against Ukraine on February 24.

Today, we see war LIVE as it happens, and the world responds instantly. Let's end war once and forever.

As long as there are children, there should never be war.

Every $1,000 a Russian had in savings is now worth $310.

A Russian soldier looking at the $100 he may have had in his wallet before the invasion, needs to know it’s now - $31.

That $900 refrigerator they were eyeing - it’s now $1,521.

That was last Friday!!! Since then it has gotten worse! Reality is a hell of a motivator.
