Network Battalion 65 (‘NB65’), affiliated with Anonymous, managed to take down the Control Center of the Russian Space Agency ‘Roscosmos’ in a continuous attempt to target Russian government entities. The threat group claimed that Russia lost control over a few of its satellites due to the attack impacting Russia’s vehicle monitoring system, which wasn't severe in nature & remained only temporary.

However, Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Russian Roscosmos State Space Corporation, refuted such claims, adding that the operations of the Russian space agency control center are running normally without any issues, further labeling NB65 as " scammers and petty swindlers."

Moreover, any attempts of cyberattack targeting Russian entities will be explicitly considered an act of war and will be thoroughly investigated by Russia's law enforcement agencies.

" I want to warn everyone who tries to do it that it is essentially a crime, which should be toughly punished. Because disabling the satellite group of any country is generally a casus belli, that is, a reason to go to war. And we will be looking for those who organized it. We will send all necessary materials to the Federal Security Service, the Investigative Committee, and the Prosecutor General’s Office for relevant criminal cases to be opened,” Rogozin said on Rossiya 24 (VGTRK) television.

OneWeb, a British-Indian tech firm, has also assured Roscosmos that its satellite won't be taken into involvement in any military purposes following the threatening to cancel Soyuz rocket scheduled to launch 36 OneWeb satellites on March 4 from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan fearing the satellite could be used against its country.

However, these emerging demands were later dismissed by UK Business & Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng refusing to go ahead with any negotiationns while illustrating that the UK government would not be selling its share. Dmitry Rogozin declared openly that the Russian government would refrain from supplying any rocket engines to the United States in retaliation for Western sanctions over the Russo-Ukrainian invasion following the suspension of space launches of the Kourou spaceport French Guiana.
