Hacking group “Anonymous” is sending statements that encouraging resistance to unsecured printers in the Kremlin. According to a report from the International Business Times, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s clamping down on media coverage of his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine — which is going poorly — is being undercut by the hacktivist collective known as “Anonymous.” With the Russian strongman threatening Russian media personalities with prison for labeling the incursion a “war” and Russian state media parroting talking points and propaganda from the Kremlin, Anonymous has created a workaround by hacking into unsecured printers and sending out statements with details of military losses and encouraging resistance to the invasion and Putin. The report from IBT’s Nica Osorio states, “The details of the latest attack against Russia were shared by Anonymous on the micro-blogging site Twitter. ‘We have been printing anti-propaganda and tor installation instructions to printers all over #Russia for 2 hours, and printed 100,000+ copies so far. 15 people working on this op as we speak.'”
