In March, Anonymous declared to wage a "cyber war" against a Russia. Since then, Anonymous has claimed responsibility for launching various attacks on the Russian government, news websites and organizations, and leaked data of prominent firms like Roskomnadzor, a federal agency which censors Russian media. "Many CIS files were erased, hundreds of folders were renamed to "putin_stop_this_war" and email addresses and administrative credentials were exposed," said Jeremiah Fowler, cybersecurity company Security Discovery's Co-founder.
