Social networking is one of the most
used tool by everyone. And hackers use it as a weapon to hack and create
a sense of panic. Recently a social networking account of Russia's
communications minister was hacked and the account was blocked
immediately due to this cyber attack.
The
hackers just called themselves as Turkish activist group. They posted
images of War planes and Turkish flags. It has to be noted that by
November'15, Russia's ties with Turkey suffered a severe blow when a
Turkish fighter shot down a Russian bomber near the Turkish-Syrian
border.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
also called this incident as 'Back stabbing'. Russian Minister Nikolai
Nikiforov's Instagram account was hacked and it was taken down by 'The
Bortecine Cyber Team'. After lots of struggle, Nikiforov's account was
restored.
But the minister said the
technical team took more than nine hours to react on the incident. Putin
was shocked by this incident. Turkish media has blamed that Russian
hackers were the brains behind cyber attacks on Turkish internet.
