A notorious Polish hacking group recently shared that it has been put among the top 4 most active hacking groups defending Ukraine by the Kremlin.

Squad 303 is a group of Polish hackers related to Anonymous, which has been actively supporting the Ukrainian cause since Russia launched its military invasion in late February. 

The group’s name refers – our readers have guessed it instantly – to the legendary Squadron 303, the most successful and feared fighter unit in the Battle of Britain opposing the Allied Forces against Nazi Germany. 

The Polish “nerd-heroes” website also has some truly Polish overtones. Most Poles immediately spotted the reference to the Battle of Warsaw when seeing 1920.in.

Among the actions undertaken by the Squad is the launching of an online tool allowing to send text messages to random Russians regarding Moscow’s actual deeds in Ukraine. 

Earlier this week, the group proudly announced it had been placed on a shortlist of the most active hacking organisations endorsing Ukraine.

According to Squad303, thanks to the application, “tens of millions of people from all over the world sent over 110 million messages to random Russians.”

Now the Polish hackers are targeting entrepreneurs and their companies. Squad303 informed being in possession of several dozen company names as well as the names of related Russians.

Squad 303 also warned about its readiness to “disclose all persons from Russia and related companies operating in Great Britain” in the upcoming days.
