Following a declaration of 'cyberwar against the Russian government' a week ago, Anonymous say they are now hacking all Russian TV channels.
In a tweet, the group announced:
"The hacking collective Anonymous hacked into the Russian streaming services Wink and Ivi (like Netflix) and live TV channels Russia 24, Channel One, Moscow 24 to broadcast war footage from Ukraine [today]."

A message at the end of the video in the tweet says that 'ordinary Russians are against the war', prompting the Russian population to protest against the invasion of Ukraine.
The hack got the group a considerable amount of attention, forcing it to defend the tactics.
Following the hack, the group received a lot of attention that forced them to defend their tactics. In a tweet shared on Sunday, the group said:
"We are involved in the biggest Anonymous op ever seen. That being said, we are worried that some governments will indeed see us as a threat and create some scenario to make us look bad (false flag). We only want peace, not war. We've been in the limelight before. We've made the news plenty of times, but never anything like what we are experiencing right now."

The group has also said that they have also hacked notable organisations, including Russia's Space Institute.
It's a notable raising of arms — and a sign that the world's transition from boots-on-the-ground protesting to cyberactivism is well on its way.
The group added:
"We have raised our fists in the air to stand against aggressor's time and time again. We would never choose to hurt anyone physically. Understand this and know this if any government says otherwise."
We abhor violence. We are anti-war. We are against police brutality. We have raised our fists in the air to stand against aggressor's time and time again. We would never choose to hurt anyone physically. Understand this and know this if any government says otherwise. (cont)
