A Ukrainian prankster, Yevhen Volnov, caused panic when he hacked a top-secret meeting of Vladimir Putin's Defence Ministry officials. Volnov, 39, told dozens of virtual meeting participants that the SBU was watching and would come for every one of them. The session was about budget for supplies to the warring Russian army, with around 50 attendees. Posing as a war-backing participant, he warned them that Ukrainian drones were already reaching all their factories and asked if there was money in the budget for electronic warfare systems. One of the officials blurted: 'Colleagues, that is a rather strange question.....' Volnov retorted: 'You know what you are doing. You know that the blood of innocent people, children and women is on your hands.' As the participants closed their links to the meeting, he demanded: 'Tell me. Stop mumbling and speak properly. Why are you stammering and bleating?' Another official demanded: 'Who is that idiot? ' before adding: 'That is it, the meeting is over. Close the meeting...'. The prankster said afterwards: 'This mob gathered to discuss, as usual, how best to carve up another billion, but their latest corruption session was suddenly interrupted. Thanks to this broadcast, it was possible to fully identify every official and uncover every company involved. They were then given a simple explanation: Ukrainian drones can easily reach any defence industry site, so very soon absolutely everything there will be burning.' Volnov said: 'The effect was immediate. See for yourselves how these 'strategists' and office rats descended into collective panic and began frantically leaving the conference one by one. It is too late to hide, you scum. We see every meeting you hold, record every frightened face and know every account where you hide your stolen money.' Volnov - real name Mykyta Kuvikov - is a controversial Ukrainian prankster and information-war activist who targets Russians through impersonation and social engineering and helps run the military 3D-printing network DrukArmy
