Dmitry T., founder of Hunters, the most popular Russian gay hook-up app,
posted on his Facebook page that at midnight between February 1st and
2nd, hacker attack was made on the app which affected all its users in
Russia, while in Sochi the app was completely blocked.
"I can’t believe it! Last night Hunters was hacked. This attack affected
over 72,000 users in Russia, while in Sochi the app was completely
blocked.
The hackers didn’t leave any traces, but it is clear from an obvious
spelling mistake that they were not native English speakers. I’m sure
that the attackers were acting in the interest of Russian authorities.
The anonymous threat which read, "You will be arrested and jailed for
gay propaganda in Sochi according to Russian Federal Law #135 Sektion 6"
was sent on February 1st, 2014 at 11:52 pm to all users in Russia,
including those in Sochi. Full story here via Edge!
