Roscosmos

Russia's space agency Roscosmos was targeted by Anonymous - Network Battalion 65 or NB65 in a ransomware attack by using almost the same source code as Conti, which is a Russian ransomware group.

The hackers also stole and uploaded a bunch of files from the Roscosmos and uploaded them to the internet.

The attackers also announced that the attack had affected Russian President Vladimir Putin's control over his spy satellites.
