Ukrainian hackers with the help of fake women's accounts in social networks helped to destroy the base of the occupiers near Melitopol


Programmers from the HackControl company forced the Russian military to reveal the geolocation of their base near Melitopol.
The hackers handed over the data to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was blown up by Ukrainian artillery. This was reported in the Financial Times.
Nikita Knysh and colleagues from the HackControl company created fake accounts of women on social networks, from which they wrote messages to Russian soldiers. They began to send their photographs to the "girls," with the help of which they understood that the Russians were based near Melitopol.
The Russians send girls a lot of shit to prove that they are warriors,” the programmer said.
He learned that Ukrainian artillery had dealt with the Russians a few days later.
My first opinion was that I am practical and could help my country. Then I realized that I wanted more than this - I tried to find more bases, again and again - Nikita Knysh explained his motivation.
Now a team of 30 volunteers is working from the Vinnytsia region via Starlink.
