"People from around the world are using a new website to bypass the Kremlin's propaganda machine by messaging Russians about the war in Ukraine," Wall Street reports journal.
"THE website was developed by a group of Polish developers who had approximately 20 million mobile phone numbers and nearly 140 million email addresses belonging to Russian individuals and companies.”
The tool was created by the Squad303 hacking team, and is hosted on the domain 1920.in. If you visit the page, you will see a pre-written message in the native SMS application:
"Dear Russians, your media is being censored. "The Kremlin is lying to you," the statement said.
"Learn the truth about Ukraine at free Internet and in the Telegram application. Time to overthrow the dictator Putin!”
In one his statement to the Daily Dot, a member of the Squad303 team described their effort as a "non-violent communication project” aimed at circumventing Russia's crackdown on independent news sources.
The domain name for the tool alludes to Poland's surprise victory over Russian forces in 1920.
Squad303 claims that its tool has already been used to send more than 6,3 million text messages, although Daily Dot could not confirm the number.
