The attack was conducted by a new hacktivist group called Morninstar, which according to itself is collaborating with Z-pentest (another pro-Russian hacktivist group). Multiple images of hacked surveillance cameras in Denmark were posted on Telegram. Ten cameras were hacked and the group wrote a message to Danes: “We have manipulated your cameras, and frankly, the result is quite sad for you. Now every single one of your streets, every corner, is under our control. Surrender, bitches, while you can still breathe freely!”. Additionally, it was revealed that hackers also have access to Danes’ private surveillance cameras.
