Dear warriors of #Ukraine, today is your day, today is the announcement to end all announcements. Today, #TeamOneFist announces the victory of Op Pleiades: silencing of #Russia's Gonets #satellite network with a strategic #cyber strike like none before! 1/

I successfully penetrated their CRM/client database, which is referenced by the network in order to send/receive messages. We were unable to download the DB and they were monitoring it regularly, so we made the decision to destroy it, which we accomplished without detection. 2/

Of course, we had some fun while destroying them :) 3/

Inside, we found that 97 RU orgs were using Gonets for critical #satcom #communications, from fishery fleets & power companies, to the #FSB itself & JSC Raduga which designs/manufactures cruise missiles. Destroying the DB should prevent ALL messages from being delivered. 4/

Not even #space can save you, #Russia, from #cyberwarfare. This is vengeance for all #RussianWarCrimes, in #Syria & #Ukraine & everyone in between, and it only ends when everyone is freed from them.
#SlavaUkraini, #UkraineWillWin & #FreeSyria!🇺🇦☢️👊

For whoever is interested in learning more about satellites, and why we attacked Gonets/why it's so important, I recommend The Space Review (@tsr) and @RussianSpaceWeb. I follow these sites regularly!

Also pinging @Cyberknow20 so he doesn't miss this scoop 😂
