In the latest cyber strike on Putin’s army, the hacking group Anonymous claims to have published the personal information of 120,000 Russian soldiers stationed in Ukraine.

The massive theft of Russian data includes names, dates of birth, residences, and even passport numbers.

It comes after Anonymous threatened to launch “unprecedented strikes” on Russian government websites.

According to the group’s most recent statement, “Personal data of 120,000 Russian servicemen fighting in Ukraine has been exposed.”

“All troops who participated in the invasion of Ukraine should be subjected to a war crime trial,” it continued.

Previously, Anonymous claimed to have made available 15 GB of material obtained from the charity wing of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Since the beginning of the invasion on February 24, Anonymous has been attempting to destabilise Putin.

It claimed to have successfully hacked more than 300 Russian websites in the first week of the fight, while offering Putin’s men £40,000 in exchange for their tanks.

Anonymous instructed Russian forces to surrender with a white flag and the password “million” to demonstrate their acceptance of the group’s conditions.

It claimed to have amassed a war chest of millions of pounds in order to support this strategy.

Anonymous announced last month that it has shut down Russia’s space agency, adding that Putin’s officials “no longer have control over their surveillance satellites.”

However, Roscosmos Director-General Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin refuted this, calling the organisation “petty swindlers.”

In a message on social media, he said: “The information provided by these crooks and petty swindlers is false. All of our space activity control centres are operational.”

Rogozin has previously said that the Russian space industry, orbital group, and Russian part of the International Space Station are safe from hackers.

The extremely decentralised hacker community Anonymous initially made news during the Occupy Wall Street movement over a decade ago.

The group originally appeared on the website 4chan in 2003, and they became recognised for utilising the motto “We are legion,” as well as the Guy Fawkes mask from V for Vendetta.

It earlier sent a frightening warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling him in a video uploaded on Twitter that “Members of Anonymous have launched cyber war against you and your aggressive dictatorship.”

Anonymous claimed to have hacked Russian state television a week after purportedly hacking Putin’s space agency.
