The IT Army of Ukraine was formed in response to massive Russian cyber-attacks from Russia-sponsored threat actors on Ukraine. The IT Army of Ukraine reached out to selected people via Telegram to form the technologically advanced army. In the hour of the Russian invasion, Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister and Minister for Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said on Twitter, “We are creating an IT army. We need digital talents. There will be tasks for everyone. We continue to fight on the cyber front. the first task is on the channel for cyber specialists.”

Pro-Russian hacker group tried to hack several Ukrainian government sites. They even deployed threat actors to peep into the Ukrainian military’s private emails. According to the IBM Security X-Force Team, the Russia-backed hackers released a deadly malware named HermeticWiper, designed to infiltrate Windows devices to make them inoperative by destroying files. Belarusian-backed hackers also jointly performed several hacking attempts by corrupting emails of military personnel of Ukraine in support of Russia. Ukraine’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-UA) also agreed on Facebook that a mass phishing attempt was made targeting the private accounts of the Ukrainian military force.

In response to the Russia-backed hacking campaigns, the Anonymous Collective officially went into cyber war with Russia. Since then the Collective has also targetted several Russian government and private websites and distributed the compromised data on several hacking forums.

This time the Collective has worked along with the IT Army of Ukraine’s OneFist and hacked Russia’s LTE router which is a 4G router that can be used to plug into the internet using satellite connections. Every device or site that is connected to the LTE router will also be compromised during the hacking campaign.

The tweet says that the hacker’s joint effort led by the Anons and ITArmyUkraine has successfully disrupted the connectivity of 88 government and affiliated websites in Russia.
