A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.

The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.

Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.

    But what if on top of that and the resulting gas price increases, Iranian activists and supporters decided to, IDK, hack and DDoS EV charger maps or something.

    How is that any different than making gas prices higher? Both are creating logistic problems for the USA and they’re 100% justified in doing so. They’re not even doing anything violent like we are to them. I wouldn’t blame them one bit. Anything they do is justified, we would all just be facing the consequences of not dealing with Trump during the last administration when they should have. FAFO. Just like Russians are for not dealing with Putin.
