Anonymous Defaces Russian Site in Retaliation for Taiwan Hack
In retaliation for a September cyberattack by the pro-Russian group Noname057(16) on Taiwanese websites, Anonymous defaced the Russian blogging service Diary.ru. The defacement featured Ukrainian imagery, the Anonymous logo, and the phrase “Taiwan Numbah Wan,” referencing a previous online feud. The hacktivists also promoted a “neutral security belt” encompassing several countries between NATO and Russia. This action highlights the ongoing cyber warfare surrounding the conflict in Ukraine and its global implications.
