Activist group Anonymous shared its attacks against Russia on Twitter. Television channels affected by the attacks included Rossia-24, Channel One and Moscow 24 TV, as well as Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi, a service similar to Netflix.

Broadcast platforms and television channels were blocked by the Russian government television board after showing the Ukrainian attacks for several hours. Then it continued its broadcasts without the intervention of hackers.

Following the hacking attacks on Russian television, Anonymous said on Twitter:

“We are taking part in the largest Anonymous operation ever seen. However, we are concerned that some governments may actually see us as a threat and create a scenario that will make us look bad. We don't want war, we just want peace."

However, this is not the first time Anonymous has attacked Russian media outlets during its invasion of Ukraine. Last week the group; The state-run news agency TASS hacked several Russian media outlets, including Kommersant, Izvestia, Fontanka and RBK.

On February 26, the official website of the Kremlin (Kremlin.ru), the palace of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and various Russian government and state media websites were shut down following denial of service attacks. Anonymous claimed to be behind these hacking attempts.

Russia's media controller, Roskomnadzor, ordered the media to publish only information provided by official sources. It also banned media outlets from characterizing Russia's actions as an invasion or war, saying they would be called "special military operations".
