Anonymous declared a 'cyber war' against Russia. Here are the results

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

More than three weeks ago, a popular Twitter account named "Anonymous" declared that the shadowy activist group was waging a "cyber war" against Russia.

Since then, the account — which has more than 7.9 million followers, with some 500,000 gained since Russia's invasion of Ukraine — has claimed responsibility for disabling prominent Russian government, news and corporate websites and leaking data from entities such as Roskomnadzor, the federal agency responsible for censoring Russian media.

But is any of that true?

It appears it is, says Jeremiah Fowler, a co-founder of the cybersecurity company Security Discovery, who worked with researchers at the web company Website Planet to attempt to verify the group's claims.

A lot of this is beyond my understanding, but I'm sure the coders here will be able to grasp this.

12. I've always wondered if their claims are true & it's good to have some confirmation!

13. I wonder how many of 'Anonymous' are moonlighting NSA/CIA types.

It's a pretty easy cover story.

The NSA breaks into and/or crashes some Russian servers, then attributes the damage to "Anonymous"
