The hacker collective, which has been waging a “cyber war” against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, also revealed a sensitive conversation between Vladimir Putin and his defense minister.
“Tango Down”. It is with this expression, used in the armies to signal the grounding of an enemy, that the group of cyberpirates Anonymous announced on Twitter that it had hacked the servers of the FSB – the Russian secret services, formerly KGB – on Tuesday 15 March.

In this tweet, the “hacktivist” movement also announces that it has hacked the servers of other institutional sites in the country, such as the official sites of the city of Moscow, the government of the Russian Federation or even that of the Russian Ministry of Sports.
In a previous tweet, the collective leaked correspondence between Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, mentioning the planned exploitation and sale of Ukrainian forests, as reported West France, citing the PhonAndroid site. And this with the aim of “defense” against the Ukrainian army.
In cyberwar against Russia since the beginning of the invasion in Ukraine, Anonymous is stepping up its actions to destabilize the government and raise awareness among the Russian people about the propaganda put in place by the state. On March 11, 2022, cyberhackers had already announced that they had stolen and disseminated on the Internet 820 GB of confidential data from the Russian telecoms regulator, Roskomnadzor.
