The hackers identified 10 countries in which cyber attacks are carried out. These are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland and Ukraine.
Over the past two months, we’ve seen a rise in fascism and Russia hatred in these countries, hackers argue.
It is not clear what actions could be behind the excerpt in the video. The Killnet Group is primarily known for performing DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. It is an attack aimed at preventing the operation of a particular Internet system or service by taking over all free resources.

According to the US Agency for Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security, the Killnet group has ties to the Russian government. At the end of April, it was revealed that cybercriminals were behind the attacks on Czech IT systems that support railway and airport traffic. They were also responsible for attacks on public administration websites.
