The official Telegram channel of Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin was hacked. Pro-Ukrainian messages began to appear on the page, as well as calls to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports UNN.
Details
Initially, numerous messages "MOSCOW WILL BURN FOREVER" were published in the channel. Later, dozens of messages "GLORY TO UKRAINE" appeared.
After that, mass publication of messages with fundraising for the Ukrainian military began.
The posts contained bank details for transferring funds and calls to donate to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Within a short time, dozens of such messages appeared in the channel.
The channel later disappeared from Telegram
After some time, the Telegram channel became unavailable to users.
It is currently unknown whether the page was deleted by representatives of the Moscow mayor after regaining access to the account, or whether the channel was automatically blocked by Telegram's administration due to a large number of spam messages.
No official comments from Sobyanin's team regarding the incident have been received yet.
