Hackers replace Russian state news website with anti-war and anti-Putin messages

Russian news agency TASS was hacked this morning to display anti-war statements, including calls to stop President Putin's invasion of Ukraine, while its English version is still inaccessible at the time of writing.

According to Reuters and social media pictures, the regular site displayed this message: "We urge you to stop this madness, do not send your sons and husbands to certain death. Putin is forcing us to lie and is putting us in danger... It's not our war, let's stop him!"

Other Russian news media websites, including Kommersant and Izvestia, also read: "Putin makes us lie and puts us in danger. What is it for us? To put Putin in the textbooks? This is not our war, let's stop it!"
