A Russian outpost was destroyed after a Ukrainian hacker created phony social media accounts of beautiful ladies and duped Putin’s forces into revealing their location.
Nikita Knysh, an IT worker from Kharkiv, claimed to the Financial Times that he formed Hackyourmom in order to use his hacking abilities to aid his country defeat Russia.
Nikita, age 30, and his team of thirty hackers deceived Russian soldiers stationed in Melitopol by creating bogus social media profiles and convincing them to send them images from the front.
Using the photographs, the hackers deduced that the Russians were stationed at a military installation near Melitopol in southern Ukraine.
Several days after delivering the information to the Ukrainian military, the base was assaulted and explosions were heard, according to Ukrainian Pravda.
Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of Melitopol, confirmed the news via Telegram.

Nikita, age 30, and his team of thirty hackers deceived Russian soldiers stationed in Melitopol by creating bogus social media profiles and convincing them to send them images from the front. This week’s file photo depicts Russian soldiers participating in a training exercise.
He stated, “Another explosive night in Melitopol and the Melitopol district village of Myrne.” Residents of all districts reported huge explosions at 1 o’clock.
“The first one was so powerful that windows in some houses rattled and plaster crumbled.” We are awaiting confirmation that the Ukrainian Armed Forces demolished another occupying facility with jewel-like accuracy. On our territory, the adversary will never be at peace.
Fedorov subsequently stated, ‘One of the largest enemy bases on the territory of the ‘Actovolorlit’ facility was destroyed in Melitopol.’
The explosions near the facility were captured on film as loud sounds and brilliant lights.
Knysh stated on the hacking that allegedly led to the attack, “The Russians always want to f**k.” They send a lot of s**t to ‘ladies’ in order to demonstrate that they are ‘warriors.’
Maxim, another member of the Hackyourmom crew, stated that their initial thought following the attack was, “I am effective, I can help my country.”
Then I understood that I want more of this; I want to locate additional bases repeatedly.
It comes as Russia and Ukraine continue to wage a cyber war, with hackers unleashing vicious attacks on both sides.
Business Insider stated that when the invasion began in February, Ukraine’s digital minister invited individuals to join the country’s “IT army.”
During Russia’s military parades for Victory Day in May, anti-war messages were shown by hackers.
Knysh and his gang have also committed more hacking crimes, including releasing the databases of Russian military contractors.
After deceiving Russian television outlets, they also aired footage of civilian deaths in Ukraine.
Knysh stated that it ‘felt like fighting’ and added that fraudsters can be used as a weapon against an adversary when no money, brilliant software, or hacks are available.
