On Sunday, Anonymous, the well-known hacker collective, claimed that they had leaked the personal details of 120,000 Russian soldiers reportedly fighting in Ukraine.

The soldiers' personal information, which included their names, dates of birth, addresses, unit affiliation, and passport numbers, was leaked as the Russian military is under increased scrutiny for alleged human rights violations in the Ukrainian town of Bucha. There have been reports of civilians in the town being shot to death with their hands tied behind their backs, as well as corpses being found in yards, cars, and streets.

"All soldiers involved in the invasion of Ukraine should face war crimes charges," the group said in a tweet announcing the leak.

The leak was discovered on the Ukrainian version of the Russian news outlet Pravda, where over 6,000 pages of documents containing the soldiers' information could be viewed.

The formally defined paraphrase "The "hactivist" group, which rose to prominence for hacking into governments, corporations, and other organizations, condemned the Russian invasion, writing on Twitter just hours before the leak that "we're all witnessing the evils Russia is doing." After all of the crimes committed by Putin, it will take a long time to accept Russia back into the human race."

Since the invasion began at the end of February, Anonymous has claimed responsibility for other hacks on the Russian government. The group claimed to have hacked into unsecured printers in Russia in order to spread anti-propaganda messages, despite the fact that the country's state-run media has promoted and defended the war.

The messages included a warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin, and the Russian media were lying about the invasion, as well as instructions on how to get access to a browser that would allow Russian individuals to escape the country's censorship.

The group also claimed to have taken down the Kremlin's official website, tweeting that "ongoing activities to keep.ru government websites offline, and to push information to the Russian people so they can be free of Putin's state censorship machine" were underway. More than 2,500 Russian government, media, and bank websites, as well as Russian TV networks and security cameras at military bases, were reportedly hacked.

They also threatened Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, that they would "not be kind" to her after she claimed Ukrainians are fighting a "war (with Russia) they cannot win."
