Anonymous uses printers to disrupt Russia

March 22, 2022

A group of hackers that calls itself “Anonymous” tweeted that it used printers in Russia to deliver messages via a new printer hack.

All across Russia, unprotected printers were allegedly hacked to deliver anti-propaganda messages. Within hours of launching the printer hack, the group claimed that over 100,000+ copies had already been printed.

Newsweek reported that ”The materials sent to the printers in Russia include a message telling citizens that President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin, and Russian media have been lying to them about the invasion. It also includes instructions to help them access a free browser that will allow them to bypass state censorship and view “real media”.”
