Anonymous managed to hack Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency

The last few days have been one of constant struggle, which doesn’t just happen in Ukraine. It is associated with the conflict that Russia started, but it takes place in virtual space, with constant attacks from both sides.

After an apparent successful attack, which could not be confirmed, there is now evidence of yet another successful action by the Anonymous group. They claim, with evidence, to have managed to compromise a website of the Russian Space Research Institute, associated with Roscosmos.


Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Anonymous group is also fighting. Its action promises to be focused on Russian government websites, which it wants to disable and from where it wants to steal information that could be useful.

Measures have emerged and there are even reports of successful cases, which unfortunately have not been possible to prove. Now, and from what Anonymous has revealed, they have finally succeeded in compromising a website associated with Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency.

Specifically, and what can be seen on a page that It is saved for historical, success was successful not only in changing the text of this page, but also in accessing the internal information of the Russian Space Research Institute.

The Anonymous group claim to have also managed to access to information about some Roscosmos missions, both in Russian and English, focused on trips to the Moon. The group took advantage of this theft and made this information public.

The attack focused on the sub-domain uv.ikiweb.ruwhich is currently unavailable, although it is possible to see a online version of the changed page. The remaining sub-domains are functional and accessible on the Internet.

This is an important step by Anonymous, who show that they are able to deliver on their promises. They will certainly intensify their efforts and try to compromise more sites of Roscosmos and other Russian government entities.
