Anonymous keeps attacking Russian firms owned by oligarchs.

Anonymous continues its attacks against Putin and Russia, recently, the latest attack is targeted against the Russian investment agency 'Marathon Group.' Anonymous keeps attacking Russian firms owned by oligarchs, last week, the group announced the hacking of Thozis Corp and in the most recent incident, the group claims responsibility behind the Marathon group hack. Marathon group is a Russian investment firm, the owner is oligarch Alexander Vinokuro, the EU sanctioned him recently. Vinokurov is the son-in-law of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov. Anonymous breached the organization's systems and leaked 62,000 emails (a 52 GB archive) through DDoSecrets (Distributed Denial of Secrets). 

DDoSecrets is a non for profit whistleblower website launched in 2018. "JUST IN: #Anonymous has hacked & released 62,000 emails from the Marathon Group, a Russian investment firm owned by oligarch Alexander Vinokurov, currently under EU sanctions. Vinokurov is also the son-in-law of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov" tweets @YourAnonTV. The group also takes responsibility for the hacking of Belarus government website associated with Volozhin Economy, a city in the Minsk region of Belarus. 

"Anonymous makes an intrusion into a website of the Government of Belarus dedicated to the Economy of Volozhin, a Belarusian city in the Minsk region" tweets @Anonymous_Link. The Anonymous group tweeted that due to the nature of the leak, DDoSecrets is willing to offer the data to journalists and researchers. "Hackers leaked 15GB of data stolen from the Russian Orthodox Church's charitable wing & released roughly 57,500 emails via #DDoSecrets. #DDoSecrets noted that due to the nature of the data, at this time it is only being offered to journalists & researchers," tweets @YourAnonTV What else has Anonymous done to Russia? 

In March, Anonymous declared to wage a "cyber war" against a Russia. Since then, Anonymous has claimed responsibility for launching various attacks on the Russian government, news websites and organizations, and leaked data of prominent firms like Roskomnadzor, a federal agency which censors Russian media. "Many CIS files were erased, hundreds of folders were renamed to "putin_stop_this_war" and email addresses and administrative credentials were exposed," said Jeremiah Fowler, cybersecurity company Security Discovery's Co-founder.
