TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, decentralized international hacktivist collective Anonymous has hacked into a Russian website and Linux terminal and nearly triggered an explosion in an industrial gas control system.

On Saturday (Feb. 26), Anonymous hacked into the Center for the Protection of Monuments website for a second time in two days and uploaded a rogue page featuring the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag and containing a number of defacements, including screenshots of a Linux terminal in Russia and an industrial gas control system in North Ossetia, a republic within Russia. At the time of publication, the altered page was still online, but in the event it is removed, Anonymous has saved an archived version on the Web Archive.

The first image that appears is the Anonymous logo, immediately followed by an image of a Guy Fawkes mask. Next is a video that shows a defiant speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy uploaded on Friday (Feb. 25) in response to the invasion that began the previous day.
