The Anonymous hackers collective claim to have taken down the website of the Russian propaganda station, RT News.
Anonymous is a decentralized international collective of activists and hacktivists. It is known for its various cyber attacks against several governments and companies. He also attacked the Church of Scientology.
Anonymous members (known as anons) wear Guy Fawkes masks in the style of the film V for Vendetta.
Targets of anonymous hacktivism included government agencies, child pornography sites; the Westboro Baptist Church and the relationship cheating website Ashley Madison.
Some think of them as ‘freedom fighters’ and digital Robin Hoods, others say they are a ‘cyber lynch-mob.’
However, it looks like they are on the side of history this time, with their attack on Putin’s churning out good pictures.
They have also declared that the Anonymous collective is officially in cyberwar against the Russian government.
Not everyone was a fan.

Hackers Anonymous: The Cryptographic Connection
Anonymous launched its own cryptocurrency last year. This is after a 10-year half hiatus after the US FBI cracked down on them, arresting an anonymous subgroup known as LulzSec.
But, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the group remerged on social media. They came bearing news that they had developed their own crypto token, Anon Inu.
The group said the new token was created to combat Elon Musk’s influence in the crypto markets. And they were against China launching digital currency while simultaneously banning Bitcoin mining in the country.
They said on their YouTube channel, “We believe that crypto is just getting started, so we have released the Anon Inu token, a new community token with various built-in utilities. In addition to fighting Elon Musk in the meme war, the token will also be fighting China in the crypto war. Anon Inu token holders will regularly be airdropped free tokens, and other prizes. The team will also be donating a portion of their earnings to animal shelters that help dogs. Token holders will also receive a free Anon Inu profile-pic NFT.”
The Anon Inu token runs on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It has a circulating supply of 1 quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) tokens.
