Looks like the cyber war against Russia is in full swing. More Russian media outlets have had their websites compromised. TASS and others have had their websites defaced with anti-Putin messaging.

Anonymous the hacking front group for the United States government is taking credit for this.

RT also continues to be under some type of DDOS attack. Accessing their website is hit or miss.
Quite frankly, there is nothing cute or clever about any of this.
The West is much more vulnerable in a cyber war scenario, but the people running things can’t even conceptualize the reality of things. They are just randomly doing these things believing that there will not be any consequences for their actions.
