Ukrainian hackers attacked Russia 1 and Russia 24 TV channels, causing these mouthpieces of Kremlin propaganda to stop working. This was reported by LB.ua's sources.

The sources said that the hackers ‘congratulated’ Putin on his birthday by launching a large-scale attack on the all-Russian state television and radio broadcasting company. The main propaganda TV channels stopped broadcasting online in the morning: Russia 1, Russia 24, Russia Culture, RTR Planet and more than 20 others.

According to our information, not only the online broadcasting of these TV channels, but also the television broadcasting is not working in Russia.

The company's employees whine that "all information on the servers, even backups, has been destroyed, online broadcasting and internal services are down, and even the Internet and telephony are down".

The responsibility was claimed by the anonymous pro-Ukrainian hacker group Sudo rm-RF, which has repeatedly struck Russia. 

  • Meanwhile, cyber specialists from the DIU attacked the Russian system Pravosudiye (Justice). Its work is paralysed.
