The original Anonymous crew was tracked down and prosecuted. Today I think it’s just a cover for American cyber security forces. This is just a flex in a secret war that’s been on-going for a while. They were embarrassed and unprepared in the 2016 election, in defending against email hacking. They were quiet, but capable, in the 2020 election, in disrupting their Russian counterparts.
And today we hints of superiority. Leaking Russian military plans and claiming it came from FSB moles? That’s just to tickle Putin’s paranoia and trigger a purge of inside the FSB. Co-opting Russian TV channels? Dumping docs? It seems like American cyberwar units are running inside Russian infrastructure with impunity. This is the real Cold War 2.0.

JUST IN: #Anonymous has successfully breached and leaked the database of Roskomnadzor, the Russian federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring #Russian mass media, releasing to the public over 360K files. #OpRussia
It is. That said, there’s every chance that they just hoovered up every scrap of data in sight, in which case most of it would likely be uninteresting.

I’m still scratching my head over how significant this is. Not like I can read Russian to find out, plus there’s the very large download size.
820 GB is indeed very large !

Yet, at least a few files should be very interesting for some people. And, some other will believe none of it. We shall wait and see.
