– How long has Killnet been around?
– Killnet launched at the end of 2021. More precisely, I count the date 11/01/2021
– At the same time, your group came out of the shadows only this year. What prompted you to express yourself publicly?
– I can not say that we have a purpose to declare ourselves. We love Russia and want to help it. The way we help draws public attention as a background.
No one else in the Russian-speaking crowd [хакеров] he didn’t want to have anything to do with the NWO at first. Especially in a pro-Russian vein. They paid attention to us when we knocked down half of Europe. Therefore, being the first, we got the biggest victory. This much.
– What is the purpose of the emerging hacker community representatives to communicate with the media and bloggers?
– Personally, as the leader of Killnet, I did not start giving interviews to bloggers and the media in order to become a star. All this is done to lure other people into pro-Russian cyber action who can get their asses off the couch and help us and Russia in the information war.
Imagine you’re a bad darknet coder who spends half your life stealing crypto from scammers. And then KillMilk, the creator of Killnet, appears, starts a movement and urges the bad coders to join him for the good of the homeland. Here you realize once again that you have everything, you are bored and want to join the movement.
– And many of them withdrew?
“Big enough to hit the enemy.
All bored dark web coders?
– All of them, first of all, for one reason or another, support Russia in the NWO.
– How many active members are currently in the Killnet group?
– Everyone is active: everyone in his own direction makes a viable contribution that brings us closer to our common victory over the enemy and the defense of the Fatherland. All professionals in their field. We are like a handful of arrows that cannot be broken, and that is what our enemies fear.
– Is it possible to monetize PR?
– My actions and the actions of my team are translated only into the patriotic mood of the Russian people.
We gave an appropriate response to the Ukrainian and pro-Western forces. The word Killnet in Europe makes people uncomfortable. All the world media wrote about us. That’s the important thing.
We are Russian and we exist for Russia. We don’t make money from war. But if the European Union does not give them to us with the help of a crypto lock [вируса-шифровальщика — прим. ред.].
I know there are people who think otherwise. But I don’t care what they think.
– Are you talking about suspicion in connection with Russian law enforcement?
– At least in this regard. I’ve talked about this before, and I’ll say it again: there are no uniformed people in our ranks, and there is no such bond.
– After February 24, hackers from different countries united against Russia under the flag of Ukraine. What about Killnet, any foreigners among you?
– I haven’t done a DNA test, but as far as I know, we only have Russians in our ranks.
I respect only RaHDIt hackers from foreign groups defending Russia in cyber warfare [пророссийская хакерская группа, известная прежде всего публикацией данных украинских военных и, предположительно, шпионов, – прим. ред.]. The rest, in my opinion, is not at full capacity, to put it mildly.
– Recently, some ransomware operators were known to join Killnet. Can you tell me what kind of groups they are and under what conditions they unite with you?
– No comment.
“But Killnet’s new leader, BlackSide, is a ransomware operator, right?
– Yes, but the partnership you asked is not just about him.
– Do you think that Ukrainian, European and Western intelligence services are helping pro-Ukrainian hackers?
– Of course.
I am 100% sure that Western countries are behind the creation and mobilization of Ukrainian hacktivists.
Why are you so sure of that? After all, even before special ops, Ukraine was famous for, say, an extraordinary cybercriminal community.
– Ukrainian cyber warriors do not represent anything objectively serious, but at the same time heavily advertised. I am sure that this is done by the forces of the same West for the interests of the Western regime.
– After the start of special operations, did the Russian security forces become more condescending to hackers operating on the territory of the Russian Federation?
– I think so too. At least, reports of arrests stopped appearing. Maybe they just don’t have time to catch up or hire us.
But I can certainly only speak for Killnet. We are now on the territory of the Russian Federation and we feel great. There is no sense of threat or persecution.
On the other hand, in theory it should not exist. We are not scammers. And if they sinned by a deception [мошенничеством], then not in Russia. But even then, to clear my karma, I transferred half of what I took in the US into the accounts of Russian orphanages.
It seems to me that we should not forget that if there is such an opportunity, there are people around you who need help. If this is not done, karma will “overflow” and something will happen to you.
– I asked this because after Revil’s arrest at the end of 2021, there were a number of high-profile cases against other hackers. It seems they have firmly taken over the hacker community in the Russian Federation. Now the security forces seem to have forgotten about the hackers.
– First of all, Revil is not in jail! Second, I think I already answered this question above.
– About Revil, is this some kind of joke in the spirit of “Tsoi is alive”? If Revil is not in prison, whose detention were we shown at the end of last year?
– It is better to forward this question to the relevant law enforcement agencies.
– In the framework of cyber warfare, the actions of hackers on both sides still seem like an unpleasant sabotage: they broke something here, they broke something there… Do you think that the confrontation between the parties in the digital space will come to humanity? casualties?
– Yes. And I will be a pioneer.
I will be a hero in Russia and a criminal abroad. Soon, KillNet and I will launch powerful attacks on European and American businesses that will indirectly result in casualties. I will do my best to make these regions and countries accountable for each of our soldiers.
– In an interview with Unknown from Revil, he said that in some countries they even have access to military installations. Do you think this is bullshit or does Revil really have access?
– I don’t think Revil was kidding. It is possible, of course, that they overestimated their abilities, but they did not do so for no reason.
What about other hackers? After all, you recently announced an attack on Lockheed Martin Corporation in the EU. Can you give any details about this project?
“Look, I can’t talk about this attack. I can only say that the results will be devastating for some branches of the company. However, I’m not sure the Western media will spread much about it. We can talk about it because the attack has already started and there is almost no news about it in English.
– Aren’t you afraid that when making such announcements, the target organization will mobilize the information security experts and frustrate your efforts?
– Come on…
All our enemies can do is confess their love to us. I’ve been waiting for at least some results for Killnet for half a year and nothing has come so far.
Hacking groups like Killnet have become a so-called military force. However, unlike soldiers, hackers are not led by generals. Based on this, aren’t you afraid to just aggravate the situation? Are you afraid of accidentally starting a nuclear war?
– Of course we’re crazy guys, but we see the limits and we won’t cross them. I don’t think nuclear missiles will fly in person of Lockheed Martin employees due to several dozen human casualties.
“At least one victim already?”
– No comment.
Why did you leave Killnet?
“What I plan to do soon is to do the same attack on Lockheed Martin, putting the rest of the group at great risk. I want to deflect any possible return fire from the guys somehow.
– But you also invite other hackers to attack. Is there a contradiction in this?
– It’s one thing for people to go on their own. Another is when they are nominally subject to the will of another. Only those who have nothing to lose join me now.
Recently, an “old man” from the darknet came to me and said: “I have nothing to lose – everything I can do, I have already lost.” I think there is a terrible power in this energy of despair to help me.
“Why did you volunteer and not BlackSide when I asked to meet with Killnet?”
– Because I stood at the root of this Russian hacktivist community who stood up for the Motherland when he called us. And for now, only I can answer some questions.
– What are you and Killnet going to do when CBO ends and passions fade?
We will drink. Then we wake up and drink again. And so until we forget all the fears created in the name of Russia.
What else would you like to say to the readers?
– I want to say only one thing: let everyone remember forever, we will protect the Russians of the world at all costs! We will defend our homeland! We are Killnet!
