The infamous hacking group Anonymous have spectacularly hacked the Russian Ministry of Defence database and leaked thousands of emails, passwords and telephone numbers.
This comes after the group declared war on Russia on Friday and brought down “websites of the Kremlin” which includes “Kremlin.ru” the “government.ru” and “the Russian defense ministry mil.ru.”
Late last night Anonymous tweeted, “Hackers all around the world: target Russia in the name of #anonymous let them know we do not forgive, we do not forget. Anonymous owns fascists, always.”
