Hackers continue to target Russia with cyberattacks, defacing Russian TV to show pro-Ukrainian messages and taking down the RuTube video streaming site.
During the Russian President Putin's speech at today's "Victory Day" military parade, pro-Ukrainian hacking groups defaced the online Russian TV schedule page to display anti-war messages.
Russian citizens attempting to access TV schedules via their smart TVs read messages that accused the Kremlin of propaganda and that blood was on their hands for the acts of violence in Ukraine.
This morning the online Russian TV schedule page was hacked.
Russian video content provider RuTube also announced that their site was offline after suffering a cyberattack.
"Following the websites of Russian departments, which have been constantly subjected to cyberattacks over the past two months, hackers have reached RUTUBE. Video hosting has undergone a powerful cyberattack. At the moment it is not possible to access the platform." - RuTube.
