Putin reportedly has a $97 million luxury yacht called "Graceful". A group of Anonymous hackers on Saturday figured out a way to mess with maritime traffic data & made it look like the yacht had crashed into Ukraine's Snake Island, then changed its destination to "hell":

The hackers -- who are affiliated with an Anonymous offshoot called @theanonleaks -- told me they did it by manipulating the maritime "Automatic Identification System," which is used to track ship locations.

They changed the yacht's destination to "hell", "anonymous" & "anonleaks" & also changed its call sign to "FCKPTN". They said they wanted to put the yacht in the scope of sanction packages as well as "put a little smile on some faces for a short period in these dark times"
