Dozens of channels were hacked using a bot for auto-posting
Dozens of Telegram channels were hacked by Fleep bot and Crosser Bot to auto-publish material on July 21. Yes, the anonymous hackers published text filled with pro-Russian narratives.
In a provocative post, anonymous people called for disarmament, saying that “war will not solve problems.” The text, which is very reminiscent of Russian propaganda techniques, criticizes the incumbent and president of Ukraine. So, it is likely that Russian hackers hacked the chatbots.
But there is a caveat – Russian Telegram channels were also dismantled. Yes, propaganda telegram channels also published posts calling for disarmament. Now all posts have been removed, but it is currently unknown who was behind the auto-post bot attack.

So, at the beginning of July, articles began to appear on the Internet claiming that Olena Zelenska owns a Bugatti Tourbillon car worth 4.5 million euros. Later, Russian propagandists spread this lie on the eve of the NATO summit in Washington.
