As Ukraine’s cyber army takes the war to Russian banks and government websites, it’s working with Elon Musk to set up satellite internet.
Two former ad-tech entrepreneurs are leading the country’s information warfare charge. Outside experts think they’re winning.
the army of hackers crowd-sourced through Telegram aimed to “coordinate all the people that want to help Ukraine fight Russian propaganda and help with cyberattacks. Ukrainian propaganda has included exaggerations and untruths, Alperovitch said, noting that many of its claims were “doubtful or proven to be false.” For example, Fedorov’s claim that the Moscow Exchange, which was offline Monday, was still down the next day thanks to a cyberattack by the IT army, was proven not to be true.
Sometimes the information is intriguing, though difficult to verify, most notably a leak today via Ukrainian publication Pravda, which claimed to have published a list of 120,000 Russian military personnel in Russia. As noted by Thomas Rid, professor of strategic studies at Johns Hopkins University, it may take a long time to verify the veracity of the leak.
He wouldn’t be drawn into providing a statement on whether or not the army would try to hack into Russian servers, saying it was too sensitive to discuss.
