The BBC speaks to hacktivists about past and future attacks in their 'cyber war' against Vladimir Putin.

The Anonymous hacktivist collective has been bombarding Russia with cyber-attacks since declaring "cyber war" on President Vladimir Putin in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine. Several people operating under its banner spoke to the BBC about their motives, tactics and plans.

The stunt has all the hallmarks of an Anonymous hack - dramatic, impactful and easy to share online. Like many of the group's other cyber-attacks it was also extremely hard to verify. The hackers justified their actions saying innocent Ukrainians were being massacred. "We will intensify the attacks on the Kremlin, if nothing is done to restore peace in Ukraine," they added.

Their symbol is a Guy Fawkes mask, made famous by Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta in which an anarchist revolutionary topples a corrupt fascist governmentAnonymous hackers have also defaced Russian websites. Forte says this involves gaining control of a website to change the content displayed.

But he told me that when he and his team briefly defaced the website of the Russian state news agency, Tass, with an anti-Putin poster, they included an Anonymous logo.

That's great. The true world must create hell on earth for Putin the pariah/ war criminal. He must be made to have sleepless, horrible nightmares. He must be made to know that we're into the 21st century,& not 19th century. That he cannot use Russia's military might wrongly...

For Putin the pariah justice MUST comeGORDON BROWN: Putin sat at a high table, designed to disguise what Russia officially records as his height of 5ft 7in. The message was clear from the beginning: this was not a meeting of equals. How about Tony Blair? How is he different? Lol, isn't this twit the chancellor that funded the Iraq war that cost millions of lives based on dodgy evidence? Interesting how no one in the West is never brought to account on war crimes.

Those on the right who loudly praised Putin have now fallen strangely silent | Nick CohenMost collaborators in the west are at least coming up with excuses after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. That’s not the case in Britain 'Amid widespread reports of Russian atrocities in the Caucasus, and only two weeks before an election that will seal Mr Putin's grip on power, the British prime minister's visit attracted withering criticism from human rights activists.'Lest we forget. 'Strangely'? How is that strange? He has attacked a country and is killing people. I understand that for US standards it's OK to keep supporting presidents who do that (.....), but let me tell you that for international standards not supporting sb who kills innocents is normal

Putin is creating “another world” says former Russian MP“There will be another world… with other values.” Former Russian MP and Putin supporter Natalya Narochnitskaya tells krishgm that the war in Ukraine is “developing according to plan”. krishgm How do you penetrate this mindset? krishgm March 19, 2003 marks the day the US and Britain invaded Iraq under the pretext of finding WMDs; but no such weapons were ever discovered in the country. More than ONE MILLION Iraqis were killed as the result of the invasion, and subsequent occupation of the Arab country. krishgm Maybe in her eyes, the whole Russian and Ukraine War, has been a false flag portrayed by the West.
