The name of every programme was changed to 'On your hands is the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and their hundreds of murdered children. TV and the authorities are lying. No to war' pic.twitter.com/P2uCNz8cqa
This anti-war message was widely spread on the Internet through services such as Google and the Russian search engine Yandex that automatically acquire program listings.
Also, on the Internet, RuTube , a video sharing site, went down due to a cyber attack. RuTube is a YouTube-like video site with about 3 million monthly visitors, mainly for Russian-speaking users.
When I access RuTube at the time of writing the article, it says 'Warning! The website is under technical maintenance'.
Since it is the same even if you access RuTube via an application or smart TV, it seems that the cyber attack targets the entire RuTube service, not a specific platform of RuTube.
In a Telegram post, RuTube said, 'RuTube went down on the morning of May 9, and the public relations office announced that it was the biggest cyberattack in RuTube history. As is well known, APT attacks are planned. And it's a tedious attack, which means that some people really wanted to stop RuTube from showing the Victory Day parade and the fireworks of the celebration. '
At the time of writing the article, the identity of the person who tampered with the Russian TV program or brought down the video sharing site is unknown. Bleeping Computer, the news site that reported the incident, said, 'So far, no hacktivist group has come forward, so the hacks are from outside Russia, from domestic dissidents, or both. I don't know if that is the case. '
