Russian Hackers Target U.S. HIMARS Maker in ‘New Type of Attack’
Russian hackers have launched “a new type of attack” on American military company Lockheed Martin, the maker of the M142 HIMARS, the weapon the hackers believe is responsible for thousands of deaths in Ukraine.
The cyberattack by the Killnet and Killmilk hacker groups took place at 7 a.m. on Monday.
“The notorious HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, supplied to Ukraine by the aforementioned military-industrial corporation, allow the criminal authorities of the Kiev regime to kill civilians, destroy the infrastructure and social facilities of the still temporarily occupied Ukraine,” the hackers said.
The hackers said Lockheed Martin “is the actual sponsor of world terrorism, is responsible” for thousands of deaths.
On July 22, members of Killnet said: “We are using a new type of attack, we have no equal in this area.
This is a new technology that we are using for the first time against the world’s largest arms manufacturer—Lockheed Martin.”
