Hacktivists - the "cyber war" against Vladimir Putin

Available for over a year

The hacking group - which calls itself Anonymous - has declared a "cyberwar" against Russia. Days after Russian forces began their invasion of Ukraine - hackers apparently broke into the broadcast system, and left people tuning in to some channels where they saw images of the Russian offensive. Moscow has put in tough legal restrictions on reporting events during what it says is just a special military operation. For 5 Minutes On, our Cyber reporter, Joe Tidy, has been in touch with the Anonymous hacker group – and has been finding out more about their motives, tactics and methods of collaboration.
