OpRussia: Anonymous Hackers Hit Russia's 'Hitler Youth'

Anonymous hackers have released data linking a Russian pro-Vladimir Putin youth group to an ongoing cyber campaign against opposition supporters.

Breaking via the Guardian, OpRussia saw the Russian cell of Anonymous upload hundreds of emails allegedly chronicling correspondence between Vasily Yakemenko and Kristina Potupchik between November 2010 and December 2012.

Now the head of the Kremlin's Federal Youth Agency, Yakemenko was the first leader of the infamous Nashi youth group, while Potupchik is the group's current spokesperson. If authentic the emails confirm long term suspicions by both opposition supporters and the world's media that the Kremlin was funding an ongoing cyber campaign against its enemies.
