"Victory" Day
Victory Day in Russia:
RIGA, Latvia — Russians using smart TVs reported seeing something atypical: A message appeared instead of the usual channels. “The blood of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of murdered children is on your hands,” read the message that took over their screens. “TV and the authorities are lying. No to war.”
The apparent hack, targeting ordinary Russians sitting by their TVs or looking things up on their search engines, broke through the pro-Moscow messaging as Russia celebrates Victory Day, a commemoration of the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II.
The antiwar message that appeared on the screens of Russian smart TV users also appeared on the platforms of Yandex, Russia’s IT giant. Similarly to Google, it combines many products under its umbrella, including a search engine and a service providing TV programming schedules. On that page, the daily programs for state-run Channel One and Russia 1 were also defaced early Monday.

Thought this might bring a chuckle!
I love the the misguided arrogance of Russian trolls, bots, and hackers thinking they are the only ones with skin in the game. Go Anonymous and the like! And perhaps, maybe gloriously, this was the result of underground Russians hacking into their own country’s sh*t.
