The Anon Leaks aka Anonymous was able to modify the name and location of Putin’s yacht by manipulating the Automatic Identification System of maritime. This was first disclosed by an investigative reporter called Ryan Gallagher on twitter.

Ryan also mentioned that he happened to have had a conversation with Anonymous hackers and they are planning to enlighten the mood during the dark times by bringing Putin’s yacht under the ‘scope of sanction packages’.

Anonymous stated that they are also targeting banks and financial institutions, but will not target people or the army and will be focusing on media, state-controlled entities, and companies.
