The elusive computer experts issued the stark announcement on Twitter . They said they were ‘officially’ in ‘cyber war against the Russian government’. Shortly afterwards they revealed they had targeted Kremlin-backed RT . Hacking group Anonymous has declared ‘cyber war’ against Vladimir Putin’s government after he mounted a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The elusive computer experts issued the stark announcement on their Twitter account on Thursday evening. They said shortly before 10pm: ‘The Anonymous collective is officially in cyber war against the Russian government.’ Around 30 minutes later, they announced that they had taken down the website of the Kremlin-backed TV channel RT, which broadcasts in Britain and has been heavily criticised for its coverage. When MailOnline attempted to access the site this morning, it was still inaccessible and only displayed an error message that said ‘this site can’t be reached’.
