The group wished “Happy State Flag Day of Ukraine”. Along with that, they asserted that the listed bank’s client money will go to ZSU.

With the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war at the beginning of the year, many activists group surfaced all across the world. Pro-Russian and Pro-Ukraine hacker groups launched a series of attacks for their respective motives. IT Army of Ukraine, NB65, and Killnet are some common Pro-Ukraine and Pro-Russia hacker group names, that have been majorly active during the cyber war. It has been a while since the last Pro-Ukraine hacker group formed. #2402team has put an end to it with their formation.
