However, the Director-General of Roscosmos, Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, denied the claim and called the group "petty swindlers."

PUTIN'S SUPERYACHT Putin’s £73million superyacht was renamed “FCKPTN” with its destination changed to “Hell” after Anonymous claimed to have targeted his assets. The group broke into the ship's maritime data and made it appear as if it had crashed into Snake Island in Ukraine. The vigilante group then renamed the boat's destination to "anonymous" and "anonleaks" before settling with "hell" or "FCKPTN". HACKED PRINTERS AND CAMERAS On March 21, it was reported the group had hacked unsecured printers across Russia, proceeding to mass print information about the war to circumvent the Kremlin’s state propaganda.
