Pro-Kremlin Russian hackers say they could 'add votes to some other country' to prevent a Ukraine Eurovision 2022 win.
As Cyjax explains, there is no central Anonymous website."It's more likely that an independent generic Anonymous website was targeted to boost morale for the Russian side," Cyjax says.In an apparent attempt to prevent or disrupt the online voting for, Killnet has hinted it could target Eurovision servers. In a Telegram message, the group claimed to have already disrupted the voting system. Or, rather, that the DDoS Botnet might be behind earlier voting difficulties.
Russia was banned from competing in Eurovision 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine, and the Kalush Orchestra has stated that a win would be a morale booster for the people of Ukraine.that the voting system has"a wide range of security measures in place to protect audience participation" and this year will be no different in that regard.
The group posted on Telegram claiming that the Eurovision online voting servers were unprotected and threatened to send"10 billion requests and add votes to some other country." However, it also stated that"it does not make sense to influence the vote online," and further attacks are"not worth the time." The messaging is quite mixed to say the least. The threat is certainly there, although whether it will amount to anything is, frankly, unlikely.
