The national anthem of Ukraine was played in Crimea on Tuesday after Ukrainian pirates seized the main radio station of the peninsula “Crimea”, reports Lenta.
A Russian news site reports that “unknown” hijacked the radio station’s broadcast and included the anthem of a “neighboring state”.
“The problem affected only the segment of the Internet and the transmitters that received the signal from the satellite,” Oleg Kryuchikov, adviser to the head of Crimea on information policy, assured in Telegram.
He also announced that the broadcasting of “Radio Crimea” will be resumed in the near future, accusing at the same time that attacks on the websites of Crimean TV channels and radio stations have been ongoing for the second week.
In one such attack, Ukrainian hackers attacked Crimean television and broadcast President Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s address to the residents of the region.
“Each of the Russian officials who seized precious land in Crimea should remember that this is not a country where they will have peace,” the Kyiv leader threatened.
Hackers also hacked Russian TV channels
Since the first weeks of the “special military operation” ordered by Vladimir Putin in late February, hackers from Ukraine and other countries have also hacked Russian TV stations to show footage of Russian bombings of Ukrainian cities.
Hackers from Anonymous also hacked Russian television on May 9, when Russia was celebrating World War II Victory Day, to broadcast messages about the war in Ukraine.
Hackers changed the title of every program on Russian television to “The blood of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of their murdered children is on your hands. Televisions and the government lie. No war.”
Since the end of March, Russia has accused itself of being the victim of “unprecedented” cyber attacks.
“There were many challenges. First, they are associated with unprecedented cyber attacks. They continue, they are becoming more and more diverse,” said the President of Rostelecom Mykhailo Oseevskyi at an extended meeting of the State Duma committee on the IT sector.
Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014 following a referendum held after its armed forces occupied the peninsula.
