Moscow, Ta. 25. Friday, February 2022

Russia has carried out a military attack on Ukraine, but at the same time, cyber attacks are taking place in the country, for which Ukraine is blaming Russia.

However, Russia is now receiving a response in its own language. A group of unidentified hackers has launched a retaliatory cyber attack on Russia, targeting Russian government websites and crashing them.

Claiming to be a representative of the group, the social media account said that the hackers had launched a "cyber war" against the Russian government. Some sites were taken offline by Russia after the attack slowed down.

One of the hackers' accounts called his group "Legion" and tweeted that "Putin has killed people and we will not forget that."

A group of hackers known as Anonymous, which is attacking Russia, has in the past targeted the site of the CIA.
