Television networks breached during independence celebrations

Pro-Ukrainian hackers infiltrated Russia’s third-largest TV provider on Sunday, broadcasting three hours of battlefield footage across 116 channels to approximately 50,000 households. The attack, allegedly carried out by Belarusian Cyber-Partisans, coincided with Ukraine’s Independence Day and showed footage of Russia’s fuel crisis, water shortages, and military losses.
