In December 2023, the Molfar website experienced a DDoS attack. This occurred immediately after the publication of our extensive investigation into the production of Shaheds and Lancets, which included the deanon of the family of chief designer Zakharov. Recently, Molfar discovered who was behind that DDos attack.
Molfar's OSINT analysts, in collaboration with the DC8044 F33d community team, identified several Russian hackers allegedly connected to Russian state structures and received funding from them. Some of these individuals are Ukrainian.
Russian military intelligence, the G.R.U., is behind arson attacks aimed at undermining support for Ukraine’s war effort, security officials say.
The Putin regime conducts large-scale propaganda not only through its state media but also through “useful idiots,” who focus on demonizing the US, EU, and NATO and have right- or left-wing views. New “multilingual international media” have emerged that write in a way that suits the Kremlin and spread pro-Russian narratives and disinformation, replacing Russia Today and Sputnik, which have received a ban in Europe.
The charges were part of an intensifying effort by federal law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with European partners, to combat international cryptocurrency schemes and illegal transactions.
Russians using smart TVs reported seeing something atypical: A message appeared instead of the usual listing of channels. “The blood of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of murdered children is on your hands,” read the message that took over their screens. “TV and the authorities are lying. No to war.”
