Former Department Of Homeland Security Staffer, Miles Taylor Revealed He Is
"Anonymous"


KEY POINTS

 * Anonymous has launched a cyberwar against Russia
 * The hacking group recently hacked Russia's live streaming services
 * It also hacked TV stations in Russia

After hacking Russian streaming services, Anonymous, a decentralized
international activist and hacktivist collective, has leaked that Kremlin is
planning to disconnect the country from the global internet.

The group shared the information on Twitter on Sunday by posting a couple of
images showing a government telegram addressed to federal executive authorities
and owners of telecommunication services. Anonymous considers this as a
government strategy to limit people's access to information.

"Russia is preparing to disconnect from the global internet, limiting access to
information for the Russian people," the tweet read. "That means censorship, and
we are totally against censorship of any kind. So... let's turn up the
pressure."

A roughly translated version of the document reveals that Russia has started
active preparations for global internet disconnection. It states that all
servers and domains must be transferred to the Russian zone no later than March
11.

Russia reportedly started preparing for this kind of scenario almost three years
ago. BBC reported that Russia successfully tested a country-wide alternative to
the global internet in 2019. The Russian government also announced the news at
the time but it did not reveal the specifics.

"The results of the exercises showed that, in general, both the authorities and
telecoms operators are ready to effectively respond to emerging risks and
threats, to ensure the stable functioning of both the internet and unified
telecommunication network in the Russian Federation," Alexi Sokolov, the deputy
head of Russia's Ministry of Communications, told reporters.

This move alarmed experts as it would allow the government to control their
citizens' activities online and restrict users' access to dialogues, sites
and forums that reveal the actual happenings in the country.

After announcing a cyberwar against Russia, the Anonymous group shared that it
has hacked Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi, as well as live TV channels
Channel One, Russia 24 and Moscow 24.

The hackers used these platforms to broadcast footage of the ongoing war between
Ukraine and Russia. "The hacking collective #Anonymous hacked into the Russian
streaming services Wink and Ivi (like Netflix) and live TV channels Russia 24,
Channel One, Moscow 24 to broadcast war footage from Ukraine [today]," it
tweeted.
