Anonymous has commented on its latest stunt amid its "cyberwar" with Russia. The hacking collective first announced it was taking aim at Vladimir Putin's government following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Since then, the group has repeatedly claimed to have leaked sensitive information about Russia's government and officials. Now, Anonymous has taken to one of its largest Twitter pages to inform its 1.3 million followers about its latest huge exploit; sending 7 million texts Russian cell phone users. On Tuesday, March 15, Anonymous tweeted the following: "The #Anonymous collective has sent 7.000.000 anti-war texts to Russian cell phone users." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/YourAnonOne/status/1503637337795932160]] The group added that their alleged act aimed to tell the cell phone users "the truth about Putin's invasion of #Ukraine." As of this writing, the tweet has amassed more than 31,000 'likes' from Twitter users. Of course, this is not the first time the hacking group has claimed to have pulled off a cyber stunt of this magnitude. <a href="https://vt.co/news/anonymous-claims-it-has-hacked-russian-tv-news-channels-and-streaming-services-to-broadcast-footage-of-the-war-in-ukraine">Earlier this month</a>, Anonymous shared video footage appearing to show the group successfully hacking Russian TV news channels and streaming services and sharing footage of the war in Ukraine with viewers. In a tweet shared on March 6, the group wrote: "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]." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews/status/1500613013510008836]] The tweet also included a video of Anonymous streaming on Russian TV. At the end of a clip, a message appeared urging Russians to oppose Putin's invasion, stating: "Ordinary Russians are against the war". The video has since amassed over 2.3 million views on the social media platform. Anonymous' most personal message to Russian President Vladimir Putin came just days after the leader announced Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. The group warned of "unprecedented cyber-attacks from all corners of the world", and in a video featuring Anonymous's trademark masked figure, told Putin: "The ongoing invasion of Ukraine has shown that your regime has no respect for human rights or the self-determination of your neighbors." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/YourAnonOne/status/1496965766435926039]] "Refugees are fleeing the violence and the population is being forced into conscription by Ukrainian officials. This is an ugly situation all around but you are the instigator," they continued. The clip then cut to reports of protests in Russia, saying that even Putin's own citizens are against him. "The people of the world will resist you every step of the way. This is not a war that you can win, regardless of how powerful you think you are. We are Anonymous. We are legion. Expect us," the video ended.
