Hackers say they changed the call sign for Putin's yacht with a special message to him
By Sarah K. Burris
Published February 27, 2022
Vladimir Putin's yacht, Graceful, appears to have a different call sign on a few yacht tracking websites.
As Russian oligarch yachts are being tracked around the world, Putin's luxury boat typically has the call sign UBGV8, according to FleetMon.
But on another website, MarineTraffic, Bloomberg reporter Ryan Gallagher and Good Pillow CEO William LeGate noticed that someone changed the call sign to FCKPTN and its current maritime position is "Hell."
