On March 22, 2022, a hacker attack was carried out on the Slobodna Dalmacie portal in the afternoon. “After an unknown perpetrator (or several) broke into our system, several older articles in the columns of Slobodna Dalmacija were replaced by articles promoting Russian propaganda in the war with Ukraine,” Slobodna Dalmacija said.

It is about a dozen texts that were published on the portal under the names of the authors of Slobodna Dalmacija. – Our services noticed the intrusion into the system in time and are working to eliminate the problem. The articles are removed, and the attack is reported to the police. These are some of the texts that unknown persons “put” on the Slobodna Dalmacija portal:

– What are the Ukrainian troops fighting for, and what is more important, for whom are they fighting?

– Which side do you support?

– Deacon Kuraev came back to life! And once again he stood out

– What are the Ukrainian troops fighting for? And, more importantly, who are they fighting for?

– NATO is the world herald of revolutions and conflicts

– The United States admits that they have hidden biolaboratories in Ukraine

– Russian campaign in Ukraine

– Western deception machine

– A nuclear bomb with a delayed mechanism?

– In the event of a full-scale conflict, the destruction of the hydraulic structures of the Dnieper can have serious consequences

– What do Europeans and Americans know about Ukraine, and the rest of the world does not?
