Read full story: Hackers Rename Vladimir Putin’s Yacht and Send it to ‘Hell’

As Russian invasion continues in Ukraine, members of hacking group Anonymous have targeted Russian President Vladimir Putin for the war. According to Bloomberg reporter Ryan Gallagher, a group of Anonymous hackers changed the name of Putin’s luxury yacht from Graceful to “FCKPTN”. Ryan shared a post on his Twitter handle and claimed that the hackers “figured out a way to mess with maritime traffic data and made it look like the yacht had crashed into Ukraine’s Snake Island.” The reporter also wrote that the hackers even changed the destination of the $97 million-yacht to “hell”. He even shared a few screenshots from the website Vesseltracker which showed how the information about the yacht’s Callsign, destination and location had been tweaked.

In another tweet, Ryan shared that the group which carried out the daring hacking are affiliated with an Anonymous offshoot called ‘The Anon Leaks’. Ryan claimed that the group shared with him the way they changed the details of the yacht.

“They told me they did it by manipulating the maritime “Automatic Identification System”, which is used to track ships,” Ryan wrote.
