Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) claimed on July 16 that it had hacked nearly 100 Russian websites that support the Kremlin's war effort, taking them offline and replacing their homepages with a picture of a bloody pig's head.

The intelligence agency said the operation was carried out on July 15 with the help of "the volunteer hacker community."

"The cyberattack was aimed at destroying internal information of companies that serve Russian public sector clients involved in the war against Ukraine," it said in a post on Telegram.

That's actually hilarious. Especially since basically all information inside Russia is controlled by the Russian government.

Interesting. But as a prank, it'd be better if they just made some innocuous changes that just sow confusion. Kinda like redirecting a press conference to a war zone.

“The cyberattack was aimed at destroying internal information of companies that serve Russian public sector clients involved in the war against Ukraine,”

How do high-school pranks do that? It's just mildly embarrassing / annoying.
