Social networking is one of the most used tool by everyone. And hackers use it as a weapon to hack and create a sense of panic. Recently a social networking account of Russia's communications minister was hacked and the account was blocked immediately due to this cyber attack.
The hackers just called themselves as Turkish activist group. They posted images of War planes and Turkish flags. It has to be noted that by November'15, Russia's ties with Turkey suffered a severe blow when a Turkish fighter shot down a Russian bomber near the Turkish-Syrian border.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also called this incident as 'Back stabbing'. Russian Minister Nikolai Nikiforov's Instagram account was hacked and it was taken down by 'The Bortecine Cyber Team'. After lots of struggle, Nikiforov's account was restored.
But the minister said the technical team took more than nine hours to react on the incident. Putin was shocked by this incident. Turkish media has blamed that Russian hackers were the brains behind cyber attacks on Turkish internet.
