A group of hackers affiliated with Anonymous claim to have disrupted Russia’s vehicle monitoring system.

NB65 hackers say they managed to impact the daily activities of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. The precise target – country’s vehicle monitoring system.
“The Russian Space Agency sure does love their satellite imaging. Better yet, they sure do love their Vehicle Monitoring System,” an ominous message from NB65 starts.
The message says the group deleted the agency’s WS02 software, an open-source application program interface (API) management tool, rotated credentials, and shut down the server.
Cybernews could yet confirm these statements.
However, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, dismissed such claims as false.
After the US imposed severe sanctions against Russia after the country’s military invaded Ukraine, Rogozin threatened that the sanctions may result in the International Space Station (ISS) ‘crashing to Earth in an uncontrolled fashion.’
The statement might be linked to the fact that the Russian segment of the ISS is responsible for guidance, navigation, and control of the entire complex.
That’s only the latest in a series of hacks directed against Russia after the country invaded Ukraine last week.
Cyber activists targeted Russian state-controlled media outlets TASS, Kommersant, Izvestia, Fontanka, and RBC, pushing them offline.
There are at least a dozen different groups of hackers and researchers, with Anonymous being the most prominent one, investing their effort and knowledge to help Ukraine.
An unknown group has set up a website tool that allows people to participate in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against Russian websites that it claims are spreading disinformation.
Additionally, cybersecurity firms are urging ordinary civilians to join the cyberwar by means of an app that allows them to attack Russian websites spreading disinformation.
