After the start of the war, the hacker group Anonymous, which declared cyber war on the Russian government, declared another major collapse. Anonymous claims it’s not working for the third time and they were behind the hack of the Rutube video service, which is unlikely to work in the coming days.

Moreover, Anonymous claims that, contrary to the statements of service representatives, Rutube has probably disappeared forever.

“Anonymous hacked the Russian video platform Rutube. Almost 75% of the major release’s databases and infrastructure and 90% of the backup and database recovery cluster were severely damaged, meaning Rutube is probably gone forever. Anonymous

It was previously reported that it could take more than a week for Rutube to recover after a hacker attack. Company management has been alerted to security vulnerabilities in the service infrastructure. Losses due to the cost of restoration and loss of advertising revenue can range from 500 million to 1 billion rubles.

Several expert teams have joined the service, including a team of experts from Positive Technologies (PT Expert Security Center), to counteract the consequences of the cyberattack that Rutube faced on May 9. Source
