Ukrainian hackers created fake profiles of attractive women to trick Russian soldiers into sharing their location, report says. Days later, the base was blown up.

The Financial Times reported that Ukrainian hackers set up fake accounts of attractive women in order to trick Russian soldiers into sending them photos.

When Russia invaded, Nikita Knysh wanted to use his hacking skills to help his country.

He started a group called Hackyourmom, which now consists of 30 hackers from across the country.

He said last month that they tricked Russian soldiers in Melitopol by creating fake accounts and pretending to be attractive women.

The Russian soldiers were tricked into sending photos of themselves on the front by the hackers, according to Knysh.

Knysh said that the Russians wanted to fuck. To prove that they are warriors, they send a lot of shit to girls.

The soldiers were taken from a Russian military base in southern Ukraine after they sent pictures to the hackers.

The base was attacked after they transferred the information to the Ukrainian military.

"My first thought was, I can help my country, and that's what I thought," another team member on Hackyourmom, identified only as Maxim, told the Financial Times. I realized that I want to find more bases.

Ukrainian Pravda reported last month that there was an explosion at a large Russian military base.

Insider couldn't independently verify the hacker's claims, and the armed forces of Ukraine didn't respond to our request for comment. The hackers' roles in the attack on the military base were not discussed by Ukrainian officials, according to the Financial Times.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to a cyber war between the two countries.

At the beginning of the invasion, Ukraine's digital minister asked civilians with "digital talents" to join the army.

Major Russian television channels were hacked to show anti-war messages.

Knysh's team had participated in other hacks, including leaking the databases of Russian military contractors and tricking Russian TV stations into playing news clips about Ukrainian civilians.

Knysh said it felt like combat. With no money, with no brilliant software, and even no brilliant hacks, you can use fraudsters, the dark web against your enemies.
